What the rules actually say

The threshold is on qualifying property value, a mortgage is permitted up to half the value, and off-plan property became fully eligible in April 2026 — the earlier requirement to have paid half the price first was removed. Joint ownership counts when each owner's own share reaches the floor.

What this property actually returns

The service charge is the largest gap between gross and net, and it is set per building rather than per area — two flats in the same community can differ by a third. The empty weeks matter almost as much: one month between tenancies is 8% of the year gone before any cost is paid.
