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

You could not let it as it stands, so the £28 a month below is not money you can collect yet.

No rent at all can be collected until the EPC reaches E, so nothing on this page is reached by charging more. Price the work first, then decide what the property is worth to you with that spent.

Why it works

Nothing counts in its favour while it cannot be let
Every figure that would go here — the return, the rent cover, the monthly profit — assumes a tenant can move in. Fix that first and this column is worth reading again.

Why to be cautious

Leasehold, 80 years left — ask your solicitor to check it
Still mortgageable, but the clock is the point — every year shortens it and extension costs rise as it does.Ask the seller whether an extension has been started; a served notice can be assigned to you.
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 →
Floor area 351 sqft — small for the type
Below about 460 sqft many lenders apply extra conditions, and the resale pool narrows.It is a resale and financing consideration more than a letting one.

What would have to be true?

What will the rent borrow?
Nothing, until it can be let

What would you walk away with, after 5 years?
Nothing we can put a figure on, while it cannot be let
Five years of holding it is five years of rent plus a sale, and no rent may be collected here as it stands. The sums are worth running again once the EPC clears E.
