AI Deal Score

🇬🇧 United Kingdom

Avoid: 10.47% yield, -14.12% ROI, £-1,129/month cashflow, and 25% deposit benchmarked against United Kingdom.

⚖️ LOCAL AREA VS. YOUR INPUTS

  • Yield Performance: Your Gross Yield of 10.47% sits above the average market benchmark range of 4.0% - 7.0% for United Kingdom.
  • Strategy Viability: Executing a Serviced Accommodation at this price point means your capital efficiency is operating at a -14.12% Cash-on-Cash ROI, which is underperforming the localized economic landscape.
  • Cash Flow Stability: At £-1,129/month, your operational buffer is dangerously thin for this asset class. A minor vacancy or single repair bill will wipe out your monthly profits.

🛠️ SLIDERS TO ADJUST TO IMPROVE YOUR SCORE

  • 📉 Negotiate Purchase Price: Try sliding your Purchase Price down from £320,000. Lowering the purchase price instantly contracts your upfront capital deployment, automatically elevating both your Gross Yield and your Cash-on-Cash ROI.
  • 💰 Optimize Financial Leverage: Your deposit is healthy at 25%, meaning the interest rate of 5.5% is likely consuming your margins. Try lowering the Interest Rate slider, shopping for better financing terms, or negotiating a better purchase price to preserve cash flow.
  • 🔄 Occupancy & ADR: For short-term lets the score is driven by realistic occupancy (70–80%) and the achieved nightly rate, not headline rent. Stress the ADR down 15% and re-test — and if planning rules (for example the 90-day cap in London) or licensing restrict short lets, re-test as a standard single let.
  • 🏛️ UK Compliance & Tax: Check Section 24 mortgage-interest relief (company/SPV ownership often wins once annual profit passes roughly £25,000), budget for the EPC C minimum expected from 2030, and confirm HMO or selective licensing before assuming the rent plan is legal.
