Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

Same-road HM Land Registry evidence ranges from £282,500 in September 2024 to £365,000 in March 2021, with older sales at £200,000–£360,000. The comparables do not state bedroom count, floor area, condition or specification, so they support only a broad indicative range. The latest comparable at 114 Church Road (£282,500) is the most relevant dated evidence, but no reliable condition or size adjustment is possible.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Proceed only after reviewing legal documents and inspecting condition. The evidence is insufficient to underwrite BTL, BRRR or a flip confidently; avoid bidding above a separately verified valuation after allowing for unknown works and seller charges.

Works Required

No specific works are evidenced. Confirm condition, kitchen, bathroom/shower-room, cellar, heating, parking, EPC requirements and any statutory or safety works before bidding.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

Using the latest same-road sale as the base GDV gives an indicative 75% refinance value of £211,875. Total project cost cannot be calculated because refurbishment costs and any applicable seller charges are unknown; therefore cash left in and equity cannot be assessed reliably.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

BTL analysis cannot be established because no sufficiently specific rental comparable or auctioneer rent estimate is supplied. Gross yield, operating return and a supported maximum bid cannot therefore be calculated.

Flip Analysis

The latest same-road completed sale is £282,500, while older evidence reaches £365,000. A reliable flip surplus cannot be calculated because works, resale costs and the property's condition and size relative to the comparables are unsupported.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• Comparable sales do not state bedroom count, floor area, condition or specification.

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

• Refurbishment and compliance costs are unknown; no condition survey information is provided.

• The seller may charge additional completion fees under the Special Conditions of Sale.

• Parking and heating information require confirmation.

• EPC is rated E, which may require further review for letting or future works.

Recommendation

Proceed only after reviewing legal documents and inspecting condition. The evidence is insufficient to underwrite BTL, BRRR or a flip confidently; avoid bidding above a separately verified valuation after allowing for unknown works and seller charges.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

There is useful same-road completed-sale evidence and a stated buyer documentation fee, but bedroom and floor-area details for comparables, property condition, rents, refurbishment costs and possible seller charges are unavailable.
