Should you pay this?
City-wide stats vary too much within the 2-bed homes segment to give you a confident £ comparison. A 2-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
