Borderline
The rent doesn’t fully cover the mortgage and running costs at today’s rate. Workable if you negotiate the price down or rent runs ahead of plan — risky if either moves against you.
Red flag
At +200bps rate shock, monthly cash flow falls to −£548 — over £6.5k a year out of pocket.
One thing to fix
Negotiate price to £268k (-6%) or raise rent to £1,600/mo (+10%) and the deal turns cash-flow positive.
