Long-term rental The property is overpriced at €160,000 compared to a fair value of €95,082, indicating a 40.6% gap. This price level limits potential returns for long-term rental strategies despite a gross yield of 13.2%. Family rental With a fair value significantly lower than the listing price, this property is overpriced, which may discourage family renters seeking affordable options. The condition score of 22/100 suggests that additional investment in renovations would be necessary to attract family tenants. Buy-and-hold As an investment for buy-and-hold strategies, the house is overpriced at €160,000 versus the fair value of €95,082, creating a considerable barrier for long-term appreciation. The mixed characteristics of the neighbourhood further complicate potential gains, with a tenant quality score of 54/100 indicating average demand. Not ideal for The property is not suitable for short-term vacation rental due to its overpriced status, which is unlikely to appeal to transient guests. Additionally, the luxury market and student housing segments are ill-fitted for an investment like this, given the overall condition and valuation metrics.
Economic and Tenant Instability Risk: With an economic stability score of 50/100 and a tenant stability score of 60/100, there is a risk that fluctuating economic conditions may lead to an increase in tenant turnover, potentially affecting rental income and property value.
