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

You could not let it as it stands — and even with a tenant in it, it costs you £1,363 a month.

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

3.52% return — below what most lenders require
Most lenders want the rent to cover about 1.25× the stressed mortgage payment. At this yield it may not.A bigger deposit fixes the lender test — it does not fix the return. See the lender's view →
Monthly profit −£1,363/mo — you would top this up heavily, every month, from your own income
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 →
-7.5% a year over five years — you tie up a lot of cash for what it returns
The capital you tie up is large relative to what the deal returns over five years.A lower offer or a smaller deposit changes this more than a higher rent does. Try a lower offer →
No rent comparables — estimate is a rule-of-thumb fallback, not market data. Verify the rent locally before offering.

What will the rent borrow?
Nothing, until it can be let
A lender sizes the loan on the rent, and no rent may be collected here as it stands. The test below is worth running again once the EPC clears E — not before.

Which strategy wins?
None of them, while it cannot be let
Every way of running this is a way of letting it, and none may be let as it stands. Which one wins is worth ranking once the EPC clears E — not before.
no way of letting is available

What would you walk away with?
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.
no rent to project

Could you let it by the room?
Not as it stands
Letting by the room is still letting, and this cannot be let until the EPC reaches E. What the rooms would pay is worth pricing once it can — spending on the conversion first buys a house-share nobody may move into.
