3.05% return before costs — market rent unverified, verify rent + comps locally.
Why it works
Why to be cautious
- EPC E — must hit C by 2030 (~£6,000–£12,000)
- 3.05% return — below most lender Rent-covers-mortgage checks
- Monthly profit −£1,102/mo — heavily negative — needs monthly capital injection
- -8.6% 5y IRR — capital outlay disproportionate to returns

How we define each return: On price — gross yield = annual rent ÷ purchase price. On cost — net yield ÷ total project cost (price + refurb + fees). On cash — cash-on-cash & ROI ÷ the actual cash you put in (deposit + costs).
