Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The strongest evidence is the subject property itself, recorded at £54,000 and £60,000 on 30 April 2026. Same-street terraced sales range from £80,000 to £125,000, but condition and specification differences are not supplied. A cautious base GDV of £60,000 is used, with £54,000 low and £80,000 high scenarios. These are estimates, not formal valuations.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Potential BTL acquisition subject to inspection, achievable-rent confirmation and legal-pack review. Do not rely on the headline yield or GDV uplift until unknown costs and condition are established.

Works Required

No specific defects or refurbishment requirements are evidenced. A viewing, survey and legal-pack review are required before allowing for cleaning, decoration or repairs.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

At the £60,000 base GDV, 75% refinance is approximately £45,000. The refinance position cannot be fully assessed because refurbishment costs, buyer costs, finance costs and actual valuation are unavailable. The guide is £5,000 below the base GDV before those costs.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

The supplied £650 pcm figure is an advertised asking rent, not an achieved rent. At the £55,000 guide, annual gross rent of £7,800 implies a headline gross yield of approximately 14.18%, before vacancy, management, maintenance, finance, taxes, works and acquisition costs. Net yield cannot be established from the evidence.

Flip Analysis

The £60,000 base GDV provides only £5,000 of gross headroom over the £55,000 guide before refurbishment, acquisition, finance and selling costs. A reliable flip surplus cannot be calculated because works and selling allowances are unsupported.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• The subject property has two supplied same-address sales at £54,000 and £60,000, indicating uncertainty in interpreting market value.

• The £650 pcm rent is an advertised asking rent rather than an achieved or passing rent.

• No condition, refurbishment cost, EPC, heating, council tax, parking or survey information is supplied.

• Buyer, administration, seller and third-party charges are not quantified.

• The guide-to-GDV margin may be consumed by works, finance, acquisition and selling costs.

Recommendation

Potential BTL acquisition subject to inspection, achievable-rent confirmation and legal-pack review. Do not rely on the headline yield or GDV uplift until unknown costs and condition are established.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence
