Cannot be let as it stands — fix that before any offer

You could not let it as it stands, and there is no local rent on file to price what fixing it would earn.

No rent at all can be collected until the EPC reaches E, so nothing on this page is reached by charging more. Put a rent you believe into the calculator and every figure on this page moves with it. Two or three local lettings will get you closer than anything we can offer here.

Why it works

Long lease (242 yrs) — no short-lease drag
Long enough that lease length is a non-issue — no extension, no lender problem.

Why to be cautious

Article 4 in area — Rent by the room conversion needs planning permission
The council has removed the automatic right to convert to a shared house here — it needs planning permission.It does not affect letting the property normally, and permission is often granted. It is a step, not a wall. See who decides →
Service charge unknown — could swing £100-300/mo
The listing does not state it, and on a flat it can be anything from £60 to £300 a month.It leaves before any rent does, whether or not anyone is living there. Ask the managing agent for the last two years, and whether major works are planned.
Monthly profit −£493/mo — a real cost you carry every month you hold it
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 →
No rent comparables — estimate is a rule-of-thumb fallback, not market data. Verify the rent locally before offering.
