6.80% return before costs — verify the rent + comps locally.
Why it works
- EPC C — MEES compliant
Why to be cautious
- Service charge unknown — could swing £100-300/mo
- Monthly profit −£294/mo — significantly negative — real recurring drain
- -5.7% 5y IRR — capital outlay disproportionate to returns
