- Tenant affordability: referencing at 30× means a household income of about £29,340 a year for the average rent.
- EPC before 2030: 54% of EPCs lodged in North Warwickshire over the last year were below band C — the level a rented home needs by 1 October 2030 — with 44% at D (EPC ratings in North Warwickshire).
- Council tax: Band D in North Warwickshire is £2,532 for 2026/27 (council tax in North Warwickshire).
Lender maths on the averages. At a 5.5% stress rate and 145% rent cover — the common buy-to-let convention — the average rent of £978 supports a loan of about £147,160, which is 54.4% of the average price. That falls short of 75% loan-to-value, so a buyer of an average home here needs a larger deposit or a stronger rent to pass the stress test. Both numbers are conventions rather than rules — change them in the stress test.
