6.3% gross yield
Open-market tenant on a 12-month AST.
HMO (rooms)

Who is this for?
Quick read across the buyer personas. ✅ = good fit · ⚠ = workable with caveats · ❌ = look elsewhere.
Family home
4-bed but EPC unknown — factor retrofit cost or budget for it.
Standard BTL
6.3% gross — clears typical 5%+ break-even threshold.
HMO (rooms)
6.7% HMO yield — works if you already manage HMOs.
Buy + rent later
Rents would more than cover BTL mortgage costs if life changes.

Should you pay this?
City-wide stats vary too much within the 4-bed homes segment to give you a confident £ comparison. A 4-bed home in a quieter postcode can sit £200k+ apart from one in a hot postcode just down the road.
Before bidding: walk the street, pull HM Land Registry sold prices for this postcode sector, and check what genuinely-similar homes have actually transacted at over the last 12 months.
What it'd rent for
£3,025/month6.31% gross yield
Based on 143 live rentals in Epsom · 4-bed homes here average £4,473/mo.
Most landlords need 5%+ gross to break even after costs in this area, so this is a decent fallback if your plans shift.

Schools & Ofsted
Catchment area is the #1 driver of family-let demand and exit liquidity in the suburbs. Verify the local primary + secondary ratings before offering — an Outstanding catchment can add 5–10% to £/sqft; Inadequate is a permanent drag.
- All schools within 2 miles (DfE GIAS) — official register, last Ofsted, type
- Ofsted reports for KT19 0HZ — full inspection reports + history
- Catchment visualiser (Locrating) — free-tier school-catchment map
Catchments aren't published nationally; many schools use distance-from-school as the deciding factor. The links above give you the official data; only the local authority can confirm a specific year's catchment boundary.
HMO licensing
No curated HMO data for this area. Most UK councils run mandatory licensing for 5+ sharers (statutory) plus area-specific additional / selective schemes. Verify with the local authority before completing a purchase.
