Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

Same-address HM Land Registry sales range from £167,500 to £240,000. The bedroom, floor, size, condition and specification of the comparables are not supplied, so they cannot be treated as fully comparable. The lower cluster of £167,500, £170,000 and £177,500 provides the most cautious supported range; the £240,000 sales create material uncertainty. A base GDV of £170,000 is used as a cautious estimate, not a formal valuation.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Proceed only after verifying the lease, service charge, ground rent, condition, legal pack and achievable rent. Do not rely on the £240,000 sales without confirming they relate to comparable one-bedroom units.

Works Required

No specific defects or refurbishment works are evidenced. Inspect the apartment, communal areas, balcony, parking, gym facilities and lease documentation before bidding; any works allowance remains unquantified.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

Using the cautious £170,000 base GDV, 75% refinance is £127,500. However, refurbishment costs, finance costs, legal costs, service charges, other auction charges and achievable rent are not supplied, so cash left in and refinance viability cannot be calculated reliably.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

No sufficiently specific rental evidence or auctioneer rent estimate is supplied, so rent and gross yield cannot be established. At the £119,000 guide, the stated buyer premium and minimum administration charge add £2,700 before any other potential charges, giving a known acquisition figure of £121,700 before works and additional costs.

Flip Analysis

A cautious base GDV of £170,000 is supported by the lower same-address sales cluster, but the comparables lack unit-specific details. No refurbishment allowance or supported selling-cost allowance is available, so a reliable flip surplus cannot be calculated.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• The supplied comparable sales do not identify bedroom count, size, floor, condition or specification.

• No achieved or asking rental evidence is supplied, preventing yield analysis.

• Service charge and ground rent information is not supplied for the leasehold apartment.

• Additional auction charges may include searches, seller costs, legal fees and transfer fees.

• Refurbishment requirements and associated costs are not evidenced.

• The £240,000 same-address sales may not be directly comparable to this one-bedroom apartment.

Recommendation

Proceed only after verifying the lease, service charge, ground rent, condition, legal pack and achievable rent. Do not rely on the £240,000 sales without confirming they relate to comparable one-bedroom units.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence
