Strong
10.46% return before costs — market rent unverified, verify rent + comps locally.
Why it works
- 10.46% return before costs — above-market
- Priced below market -43% vs 12 nearby sold (last 12 mo) — instant equity
- Stress Rent-covers-mortgage check PASS at 6.5% rate stress — lender-friendly
Why to be cautious
- Auction lot — bridging-only finance, 28-day completion
- 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).

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).
