Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

Completed sales on Vivian Road range from £98,000 to £175,000. The subject property itself sold for £98,000 on 8 July 2026, while four other terraced comparables sold between £142,250 and £175,000. A cautious base GDV estimate of £145,000 reflects the comparable average, with a low scenario at £98,000 and high scenario at £165,000. Condition differences are not evidenced, so the GDV range is uncertain.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Do not bid on projected profit alone. Obtain the legal pack, inspect the vacant property and establish works, costs and resale evidence before considering a flip or rental purchase.

Works Required

No property defects or refurbishment requirements are supplied. No specific works can be costed without inspection and further auction documentation.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

Using the indicative £145,000 base GDV, 75% refinancing would be approximately £108,750. However, refurbishment costs, purchase costs, finance costs and achievable rent are unavailable, so cash left in and BRRR returns cannot be calculated reliably.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

BTL viability cannot be established because no sufficiently specific rental evidence, auctioneer rent estimate, refurbishment cost or buyer/admin fee information is available. The property is vacant and has two bedrooms, but achievable rent remains unsupported.

Flip Analysis

Comparable completed sales suggest potential resale values from £98,000 to £165,000 on a cautious evidence-based range, with a £145,000 base case. Profit cannot be calculated because works, acquisition costs, selling costs and condition are not supplied. The direct £98,000 sale of the subject is a material downside indicator.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• The subject property itself completed at £98,000 shortly before the auction analysis date, which may indicate condition or other property-specific risk.

• Property condition and required works are not supplied.

• No reliable rental evidence or auctioneer rent estimate is available.

• Buyer premium, administration charges and other seller or third-party fees are unspecified.

• The eight-week completion period may require rapid funding and conveyancing.

• The higher comparable sales may differ in condition, specification or circumstances from the subject.

Recommendation

Do not bid on projected profit alone. Obtain the legal pack, inspect the vacant property and establish works, costs and resale evidence before considering a flip or rental purchase.

Analysis Confidence
