What would have to be true?The search

No offer makes this pay

Even at £1,650 — well below the £2,750 asked — the rent still does not cover the costs. The gap is the rent against the running costs, not the price, so negotiating does not close it.

What would you walk away with?The five-year sums

−£16,711 after five years on the cash you put in, before tax on the sale

Less than the same cash would have made in a savings account, after tax on the interest. The savings account’s capital is not at risk; the property’s is. A fall of about 45% in the price would leave nothing from a sale after selling costs, and you would still owe the lender any shortfall. That is the £5,217 you put in. The 5-year fix runs past this 5-year hold, so the rate reset comes after it.
