Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The strongest evidence is the completed sale of 82 Brackensdale Avenue at £215,000 on 27 February 2025, for a semi-detached property in the same postcode. Older sales on the road range from £125,000 to £158,000 but are dated 2012–2018. An indicative base GDV of £215,000 is therefore supported, but comparison is limited because no floor area, condition, tenure or detailed comparable specification is supplied. The £100,000+ guide is materially below the recent comparable, subject to auction competition, condition, legal matters and fees.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Investigate as a potential owner-occupier purchase or value-led resale opportunity only after viewing, inspection and full legal-pack review. Do not rely on the apparent guide-to-GDV discount without confirming condition, tenure, special conditions and total acquisition costs.

Works Required

No specific refurbishment defects or required works are evidenced. The property should be inspected, with particular attention to the converted wet-room-style shower room, kitchen, WC, windows, services, driveway and garden. Any works allowance remains unsupported until inspection and review of the legal pack.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

Using the indicative £215,000 base GDV, a 75% refinance figure would be approximately £161,250. However, total project cost cannot be calculated because refurbishment costs, any finance costs, additional auction fees and other legal-pack charges are unknown. BRRR viability therefore cannot be confirmed.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

BTL analysis cannot be established because no sufficiently specific rental comparables or auctioneer rent estimate are supplied. The property may suit owner-occupation or rental use based on its stated three-bedroom layout, but achievable rent, operating costs and net yield remain unknown.

Flip Analysis

The recent same-road completed sale supports an indicative £215,000 GDV, compared with the £100,000+ guide. A reliable flip surplus cannot be calculated because works, selling costs, finance costs and the eventual purchase price are unknown. The buyer premium is 4.8% including VAT, subject to a £6,000 minimum, with possible additional special-condition fees.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• No tenure or lease information is supplied.

• No sufficiently specific rental evidence is available, so rental yield cannot be established.

• No refurbishment or condition costs are supported by the evidence.

• The buyer premium is subject to a £6,000 minimum and additional fees may appear in the Special Conditions of Sale.

• The GDV indication relies principally on one recent same-road comparable, with older sales materially lower.

• EPC, council tax and heating information are not supplied.

• The final purchase price is uncertain because the property is offered at auction.

Recommendation

Investigate as a potential owner-occupier purchase or value-led resale opportunity only after viewing, inspection and full legal-pack review. Do not rely on the apparent guide-to-GDV discount without confirming condition, tenure, special conditions and total acquisition costs.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

A recent same-road completed sale provides useful GDV evidence, but there is no rental evidence, condition survey, EPC, tenure information, refurbishment budget, full fee schedule or special-conditions detail.
