Upfront spend

£2,978

EPC
C
good

Energy performance is acceptable. Bills should be more manageable than lower-rated homes.

Flood risk
Medium surface-water risk
watch

Not a deal-breaker, but worth checking building history and insurance implications.

Crime snapshot
Mixed, slightly above city average for anti-social behaviour
watch

The area is not extreme risk, but a renter should check the street at different times and ask about security.

Broadband
Openreach full fibre up to 900 Mbps
good

Strong connectivity for remote work, streaming, and shared-device households.

Council tax
Band B, est. £1,756 yearly
neutral

A manageable recurring cost, but one Maya still needs to budget alongside rent and utilities.

Deposit load
£1,440 upfront
watch

The upfront move-in cost is meaningful once first month rent and moving costs are added.

Risk flags

4 to check

Medium flood exposure

watch

Surface-water risk is not severe, but it is high enough to justify questions before Maya commits.

Ask whether there have been previous water ingress issues and confirm if the building has had insurance concerns.

Mixed local crime context

watch

The area is workable, but anti-social behaviour is slightly above average for the city.

Visit the street at night and confirm building access, lighting, and entry security.

Upfront cost burden

warning

Deposit plus first month rent creates a sizeable cash requirement before move-in.

Budget for deposit, first month rent, and moving costs together rather than treating them separately.

Early condition risks inside property

watch

Known wear and early mould signs mean day-one evidence matters if Maya proceeds.

Photograph every room on move-in day and tag any marks, mould, or chipped surfaces immediately.

Before you sign

1Ask the agent whether any damp, leak, or mould issues were reported in the last 12 months.
2Confirm the deposit protection scheme details in writing before or at move-in.
3Photograph every room on the first day of the tenancy.
4Check windows, ventilation, and the bathroom extractor during the viewing or move-in inspection.
