Start with the calculator → add a research pack when you're serious
A serious buy-to-let viewing shouldn't end with "I'll check Rightmove later." By the time you've pulled Land Registry sales, scanned local rents, found the EPC, checked police.uk, the flood map, school ratings, and the council planning portal, you've lost the evening — and you still might miss the one issue that kills the deal: an EPC E with MEES exposure, an Article 4 HMO block, or a purchase price that doesn't stack against the street.
Deedty's Deep Research Pack does that desktop review for you — scoped to the property you're actually underwriting, with your yield and cash invested in the same document.
Before the viewing
Street-level Land Registry sales, typical rents, school ratings, crime trend, and the EPC — read on the train. You'll know which questions to ask the agent and what to look for on site, instead of nodding along.
Before you commit fees
Severity-rated red flags surface the deal-killers that hide between tabs: EPC E with MEES exposure, an Article 4 direction that blocks your HMO plan, a flood zone or coal reporting area, a price 20% above the street's recent sales. The pack also tells you what it couldn't verify — so nothing gets silently skipped.
Before you convince yourself
Deal excitement is real — every landlord has talked themselves into a marginal deal at least once. A GREEN / AMBER / RED verdict with a risk score and evidence-led reasoning is a disciplined counterweight: share the PDF with your broker, partner, or accountant and argue about the evidence, not the vibes.
Each pack is tied to a single UK address. Link it to a saved calculator opportunity so your purchase price, rent, yield, and cash invested appear in the Investment Snapshot and break-even view.

15, Clifton Street, Treorchy
CF42 6UP
Generated 27 June 2026
Bedrooms (confirmed): 3 · Floor area (confirmed): 89 m²
This terraced property in Treorchy offers a compelling 8.3% gross yield, significantly above the local average, supported by strong rental demand for 3-bedroom family homes. The £115,000 purchase price is substantially higher than the 2012 sale price of £25,000, indicating a 13.5% CAGR, and also exceeds recent comparable sales on the street. The property's energy efficiency is poor (EPC E), signalling capex/resale exposure under MEES policy evolution (2030 EPC C is consultation context, not current law). While transport links to Cardiff are functional and local amenities are adequate for families, the area's economic profile is tied to lower-than-average household incomes. The investment hinges on the high yield offsetting the capital value premium and necessary EPC improvement costs.

Break-even (illustrative)
[MEDIUM] EPC E — resell and capex exposure
The property holds an EPC E rating. E is lettable under current MEES in England & Wales; it signals resale/capex exposure rather than today's compliance breach. A 2030 EPC C target for PRS is policy context only — budget £7,500–£12,500+ for upgrades if targeting C.
[MEDIUM] Purchase Price Premium
The £115,000 purchase price is 59% above the postcode median Land Registry transaction. Recent street sales are higher, but the investment relies on exceptional yield to justify a capital value outpacing local wage growth.
High Rental Yield
Gross yield of 8.3% (net 6.8%) is significantly above typical UK returns. Target rent of £800 pcm is ambitious but achievable for a well-presented 3-bed, providing a buffer against voids and maintenance.
Strong Capital Growth Potential
Rhondda Cynon Taf demonstrated robust house price growth at 7.8% in the year to April 2026. Clifton Street properties have shown strong appreciation; EPC upgrades could add further capital value.
Mid-terrace Victorian-era property, freehold, approximately 89 m² per EPC. Three bedrooms, solid-wall construction typical of the Rhondda valleys stock. Condition indicators suggest a refurb opportunity alongside mandatory EPC upgrades.
Recent Clifton Street transactions range from £89,950 (2021) to £162,500 (2023). The subject at £115,000 sits mid-range on a £/sqm basis (£1,292/m²).
| Address | Price | Date | Type | Tenure |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 32, Clifton Street | £135,000 | 2024-07-26 | Terraced | Freehold |
| 18, Clifton Street | £162,500 | 2023-08-14 | Terraced | Freehold |
| 22, Clifton Street | £120,000 | 2022-11-04 | Terraced | Freehold |
| 26, Clifton Street | £89,950 | 2021-05-14 | Terraced | Freehold |
Subject property sold for £25,000 in August 2012 — a 13.5% CAGR to the current £115,000 purchase price. Number 22 Clifton Street sold twice in 14 months (£52k → £120k), suggesting rapid post-refurb appreciation.
£115,000 equates to £1,292/m² (89 m² EPC floor area). Price sits within recent street range but above the 2022 RCT median of £123,604. High yield is the primary justification for the capital premium.

FTTP available on parts of Clifton Street. Typical download speeds 100–300 Mbps where fibre is live. 4G coverage good; 5G patchy in valley locations.
Treorchy Primary and Treorchy Comprehensive within walking distance. Estyn ratings available for catchment schools — relevant for family tenant demand.
| School | Type | Distance | Rating |

Environment Agency: Flood Zone 1 (low probability). Surface water risk: low. Not in a coal mining reporting area — formal CMRA unlikely required, but confirm with conveyancer.
Band A property — annual charge approximately £1,400 for Rhondda Cynon Taf (2025/26). Below regional average.
No major applications within 500 m. No Article 4 direction affecting HMO conversions in this immediate area at time of research. Selective licensing not active in this ward.
EPC E (current), potential C. Solid walls, no cavity insulation. E is lettable under current MEES; 2030 EPC C for PRS is policy consultation context in Wales/England — not current law. Estimated upgrade cost £7,500–£15,000 if targeting C.
Valleys community with high owner-occupier tenure (~65%). Median household income below Welsh average. Strong community ties; family rental demand stable.
Treorchy town centre shops, Tesco Express, and leisure centre within 0.5 miles. Brecon Beacons access ~20 minutes by car. Limited restaurant choice; Cardiff amenities 45 min by rail.
Income-led play: 8.3% gross yield supports the £115k price if EPC upgrade costs are budgeted and voids remain low. Capital growth tailwind from RCT affordability premium. AMBER verdict reflects MEES exposure and price premium vs historical baseline. Pass if refurb + EPC budget exceeds £15k without rent uplift; proceed if yield holds post-upgrade.

From £15 per address — less than an hour of your time, and a fraction of a commissioned desktop review. Heavy subscribers include one pack per billing period; Lite+ get 20% off add-on packs.
