Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The property itself sold for £547,000 on 2 August 2019. This is the strongest supplied valuation evidence, but it is historic and no current adjustment, survey or condition evidence is provided. £547,000 is therefore used only as a provisional base GDV, not a formal current valuation.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Do not bid on investment assumptions alone. Proceed only after legal-pack review, survey, current valuation and confirmed costs; the evidence does not currently support a reliable BTL, BRRR or flip case.

Works Required

No specific works budget can be supported from the evidence. A full survey, inspection of the house and outbuildings, and assessment of EPC E improvement requirements are needed before budgeting.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

A provisional 75% refinance of the historic £547,000 reference value is £410,250. Purchase, refurbishment, special-condition fees and current value are insufficiently evidenced, so cash-left-in and equity cannot be calculated reliably.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

BTL viability cannot be established because no sufficiently specific rental evidence or auctioneer rent estimate is supplied. The substantial grounds and outbuildings may also make operating costs and management requirements material, but these are unquantified.

Flip Analysis

The historic same-property sale provides a £547,000 reference point, but no current GDV, works budget, selling allowance or condition evidence supports a reliable flip surplus calculation.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• The £547,000 comparable is a 2019 sale and may not represent current market value.

• No refurbishment or repair budget is supported by the evidence.

• No sufficiently specific rental evidence is available.

• EPC rating E may require improvement works, but requirements and costs are unknown.

• Special Conditions of Sale may add search, seller, legal, transfer and other disbursement costs.

• The condition and maintenance requirements of the multiple outbuildings, stables, riding arena, paddocks, studio and summerhouse/office are not evidenced.

Recommendation

Do not bid on investment assumptions alone. Proceed only after legal-pack review, survey, current valuation and confirmed costs; the evidence does not currently support a reliable BTL, BRRR or flip case.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

The exact-property 2019 completed sale is useful, but it is dated and there is no current condition, refurbishment, rental, selling-cost or special-condition fee evidence.
