7.76% return before costs — market rent unverified, verify rent + comps locally.
Why it works
- 7.76% return before costs — above-market
- Stress Rent-covers-mortgage check PASS at 6.5% rate stress — lender-friendly
Why to be cautious
- Monthly profit −£7/mo — mildly negative — equity build may cover
- No rent comparables — estimate is a rule-of-thumb fallback, not market data. Verify the rent locally before offering.
- EPC band not stated — verify the certificate before offering (2030 MEES minimum is band C).
