OUR TARGET CRITERIA

The properties we look for.
The numbers we aim for.

Our starting point for assessing an opportunity in Darlington and the wider North East. Each deal still needs to work against your brief and its full costs.

Rental income. Long-term ownership.

8%+Gross yield target
10%+Return on cash target (ROCE)
£250+Monthly cashflow target
2–3Bedrooms in our typical search

We assess acquisition costs, finance, works and operating expenses alongside the rent. A headline yield alone does not establish a suitable investment.

Selection targets from our investor guide, not guaranteed returns. Gross yield is before costs; its property-value basis is stated in each appraisal. ROCE here means annual pre-tax cash surplus divided by the cash invested (or remaining invested after refinance). Finance, fees, voids and maintenance assumptions must be included in the deal appraisal. Valuation and lender criteria determine any refinance.
