Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The strongest evidence is the completed sale of 6 King Charles Road, an adjacent detached freehold property sold for £1,650,000 on 11 September 2025. This supports an indicative base GDV of £1,650,000, but the subject property's condition, specification and differences from the comparable are not provided. The older sales on the road are less relevant to current value. The guide represents approximately 57.6% of the indicative base GDV, before any works, purchase costs or selling costs.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Potential value-led purchase or owner-occupier acquisition subject to confirming condition and achieving a valuation close to the adjacent £1.65m sale. Do not rely on the advertised rent for a strong BTL case, and do not bid without quantified works and transaction costs.

Works Required

No specific defects or required works are disclosed. Obtain a full inspection and budget only for works confirmed by the survey, including any necessary repairs, safety works, redecoration or updating.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

At the £950,000 guide, the purchase price is below the £1,650,000 adjacent-road comparable, but refurbishment costs, acquisition charges and finance costs are unknown. A 75% refinance of the indicative GDV would be £1,237,500; the cash position cannot be calculated without total project costs. Survey, legal/title and lender valuation due diligence are essential before relying on this strategy.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

The only rental evidence is a £2,150 pcm advertised asking rent for a five-bedroom property in Surbiton. This equates to £25,800 per year and a 2.72% gross yield against the £950,000 guide, before finance, tax, voids, management, maintenance and acquisition costs. The evidence does not support a full BTL appraisal, and the indicated gross yield is modest.

Flip Analysis

The adjacent 2025 completed sale provides a potentially supportive resale benchmark of £1,650,000. However, the subject's condition and all refurbishment, acquisition, finance and resale costs are unknown, so a reliable flip surplus cannot be calculated. The apparent guide-to-GDV margin should not be treated as profit.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• The subject property's condition and specification relative to the £1,650,000 comparable are unknown.

• No refurbishment, finance, legal, buyer or seller costs are supplied, preventing a reliable maximum bid or profit calculation.

• The £2,150 pcm figure is an advertised asking rent rather than achieved or passing rent.

• The guide is stated as £950,000+ and the eventual auction price may be materially higher.

• Additional seller or third-party charges may apply but are unspecified.

• A lender's valuation may differ from the indicative comparable-based GDV.

Recommendation

Potential value-led purchase or owner-occupier acquisition subject to confirming condition and achieving a valuation close to the adjacent £1.65m sale. Do not rely on the advertised rent for a strong BTL case, and do not bid without quantified works and transaction costs.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

There is one highly relevant recent completed sale on the same road and one advertised rental figure, but no condition report, EPC, council tax, buyer fees, refurbishment budget, legal details or additional recent comparables.
