Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

Same-road sold comparables range from £95,000 to £174,000. The most recent supplied sale, 97 Manchester Road, achieved £99,000 in January 2026; other sales achieved £120,000, £165,000 and £174,000. Given the three-bedroom accommodation, end-terrace position and refurbishment requirement, an indicative post-refurbishment GDV of £140,000 is used, with a cautious evidence-based range of £120,000–£165,000. This is not a formal valuation and the comparables' condition and accommodation details are not supplied.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Proceed only after inspection, legal-pack review, confirmation of the property's legal/planning position as a former retail property, and receipt of a detailed refurbishment budget. On the supplied evidence, it is more suitable for cautious owner-occupier consideration than an underwritten BTL or flip.

Works Required

Refurbishment throughout is required based on the description. The works scope should be established by inspection and quotations; no specific defects, services condition or cost allowance has been supplied.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

At the £75,000 guide, the buyer premium would be £2,400 because the 2.4% calculation is below the stated minimum. A 75% refinance against the indicative £140,000 base GDV would be £105,000, but the cash position cannot be assessed without refurbishment costs, finance costs and other legal-pack charges.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

BTL cannot be underwritten reliably because no sufficiently specific rental evidence or auctioneer rent estimate is supplied. Refurbishment costs are also unknown, so neither gross yield nor total project cost can be calculated.

Flip Analysis

The supplied sales support an indicative resale range of £120,000–£165,000, with a £140,000 base GDV. A flip surplus cannot be calculated because no refurbishment allowance, selling costs or complete purchase-cost schedule is supplied.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• Refurbishment is stated to be required throughout, but its scope and cost are unknown.

• No sufficiently specific rental evidence or auctioneer rent estimate is available.

• Tenure and lease information are blank and additional fees may be stated in the Special Conditions of Sale.

• The property is described as a former retail property; its legal and planning position requires confirmation.

• The 10% deposit is payable immediately on exchange, subject to a £5,000 minimum, alongside the buyer premium.

Recommendation

Proceed only after inspection, legal-pack review, confirmation of the property's legal/planning position as a former retail property, and receipt of a detailed refurbishment budget. On the supplied evidence, it is more suitable for cautious owner-occupier consideration than an underwritten BTL or flip.
