Why it works

Nothing here counts in its favour
No figure on this listing stands out in the property’s favour. That is a finding, not a gap — the cautions opposite are what this property turns on.

Why to be cautious

No EPC certificate on record — and no postcode we can read to say whose rule applies
The minimum a private let must reach is set nation by nation, and we could not work out which nation this address is in. Every rent figure on this page assumes it can be let.The postcode and the band settle it together — both are worth having before you offer.
Monthly profit −£1,260/mo — you would top this up heavily, every month, from your own income
You would be topping it up every month, from your own income, for as long as you hold it.That can still be the plan if you are buying for capital growth — but it should be a decision, not a surprise. Try your own numbers →
-10.0% a year over five years — you tie up a lot of cash for what it returns
The capital you tie up is large relative to what the investment returns over five years.A lower offer or a smaller deposit changes this more than a higher rent does. Try a lower offer →
No rent comparables — estimate is a rule-of-thumb fallback, not market data. Verify the rent locally before offering.

What would have to be true?
We cannot price this without a postcode
Which purchase tax applies — stamp duty, LBTT or land transaction tax — is decided by the nation the address sits in, and this listing carries no postcode to resolve it. Rather than assume England and then price to the pound off it, this card does not answer. The agent can give you the postcode.
