Investment Analysis

Investment Snapshot

Works Required

• Services testing and compliance

• Targeted kitchen/bathroom repairs where required

• Decoration, flooring and joinery

• Roof/damp/windows/external repairs identified by survey

HB working works allowance: £20,000–£36,000. This is based on the auction description, accommodation and visible condition indicators; replace it with surveyor/contractor evidence before bidding.

Rental & Market Context

HB working market rent is £1,000–£1,350 pcm (£12,000–£16,200 p.a.), based on the bedroom count, property type and postcode market band. This is an HB estimate rather than an auctioneer figure.

Sold within 5m radius

Reliable recent like-for-like sold comparables were not established from the supplied scrape for this individual property. No comparable addresses or prices have been invented. Before bidding, verify the HB end-value range against HM Land Registry / current local sold evidence, matching property type, size, tenure, condition and micro-location.

GDV Assessment

HB indicative end value is £150,000–£250,000. For residential/income assets this is derived from the working market-rent range and a local gross-yield band of approximately 6.5%–8.0%, then checked against the current guide. Confidence is medium because a property-level sold-comparable set has not yet been verified.

Strategy Recommendation

Preferred strategy: BRRR / Buy-to-Let. The working purchase range is £39,000–£44,000 and the works allowance is £20,000–£36,000. The key question is whether the legal pack, condition and local market evidence support the income/end-value assumptions without exhausting contingency.

Potential BRRR Position

Using a mid-point purchase of £41,500 and mid-point works of £28,000, purchase + works is about £69,500 before SDLT, auction fees and finance. A 75% refinance on the HB £150,000–£250,000 end-value range is approximately £112,500–£187,500. At the mid-point, around £0 of purchase-and-works capital remains in the deal before acquisition/finance costs. HB BRRR rating: Strong.

Flip Analysis

Illustrative scenario: purchase £41,500, works £28,000, plus approximately £7,320 for acquisition, finance/holding and selling costs. Total working cost is about £76,820 against a mid-point end value of £200,000, giving an indicative pre-tax margin of £123,180 (61.6% of GDV). On these assumptions the flip is viable and is sensitive to bid competition, refurbishment overspend and resale evidence.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• Read the complete Bond Wolfe legal pack and special conditions, including buyer/admin fees

• Verify title, tenure, lease length, tenancy agreements and vacant-possession status

• Replace HB works assumptions with surveyor/contractor pricing

• Confirm mortgage/bridging and insurance availability for the exact asset type

• Re-check local rents and property-level sold comparables immediately before bidding

Maximum Bid Analysis

Guide £39,000+. HB considers the deal strongest around £39,000–£44,000. Above approximately £44,000, the conservative end-value/refinance margin begins to weaken materially. This is an investment sensitivity indicator, not a valuation or instruction to bid.

Recommendation

Overall HB view: BRRR / Buy-to-Let. Risk level: High; analysis confidence: Medium. The principal sensitivities are end value, rent and refurbishment cost. Proceed only if legal and physical due diligence supports the assumptions and leaves adequate contingency.

Strategy Rating

Buy-to-Let/Income: ★★★★☆ | BRRR: ★★★☆☆ | Flip: ★★★☆☆
