No rent data on file — verify locally before offering.
Why it works
- Priced below market -55% vs 12 nearby sold (last 12 mo) — instant equity
Why to be cautious
- EPC E — must hit C by 2030 (~£6,000–£12,000)
- Auction lot — bridging-only finance, 28-day completion
- Monthly profit −£359/mo — significantly negative — real recurring drain
- -14.7% 5y IRR — capital outlay disproportionate to returns
