Why it works

Long lease (999 yrs) — no short-lease drag
Long enough that lease length is a non-issue — no extension, no lender problem.

Why to be cautious

Retirement only — Age-restricted resale; limited buyer pool
This is a restriction on the title or the transaction itself, not a condition of the building — no amount of refurbishment changes it.Read from the listing text, so confirm it in the legal pack before you spend anything on a survey.
No EPC band on record — the rating decides whether you may legally rent it out
An F or G rating has made a property unlettable on new tenancies since April 2020, and every rent figure on this page assumes it can be let.Free to check on the government EPC register in under a minute — do it before you offer, not after.
Service charge unknown — could swing £100-300/mo
The listing does not state it, and on a flat it can be anything from £60 to £300 a month.It leaves before any rent does, whether or not anyone is living there. Ask the managing agent for the last two years, and whether major works are planned.
Monthly profit −£859/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 →

What would have to be true?
No recorded basis for the rent to work from
Every price on this card is that rent inverted, and this row records no basis for its rent — not that the rent is wrong, but that we cannot show it was measured against nearby lettings. A price quoted to the £5,000 needs evidence we can point at.
