    Description, as the server wrote it
    Checks a specific buy-to-let property in England or Wales from its postcode, asking price, type and bedrooms, using live public data: sold prices nearby and a price guide based on them, rent (the area average unless given), true net yield and cashflow, stress tests, crime, flood risk and live warnings, coal mining, planning constraints (conservation areas, Article 4, listed buildings), transport, schools and the local rental market. The postcode is the property's, not the user's location. Returns a 0 to 100 score with its parts, flags, a rule-based summary and a link to the full report. Results are educational estimates, not financial advice. Needs the user to sign in to their RealYield account; takes up to 30 seconds.
