Long-term rental The property is overpriced at €1,000,000, significantly above the fair value of €443,132, indicating a gap of 55.7%. This price level results in a gross yield of 0%, making it an unattractive long-term rental investment. Family rental Given that the market value far exceeds the fair value, with a 55.7% gap, the current listing price of €1,000,000 does not align with the family rental strategy. The lack of yield combined with a condition rating of 67/100 suggests that a better price is necessary to attract families. Buy-and-hold The property's price at €1,000,000 is well above its fair value of €443,132, creating a considerable impediment to profit potential in a buy-and-hold strategy. With a gross yield of 0% and an increased risk of price correction, this investment does not present a solid foundation for long-term growth.
Tenant turnover risk The tenant stability score of 65/100 suggests potential challenges in retaining tenants, which may lead to increased vacancy rates and associated costs.
