Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The supplied Land Registry evidence shows same-street freehold terraced sales from £325,000 to £500,000. The most recent identified sale was £362,000 in July 2024. A base GDV of £362,000 is used as the closest recent same-street indication, with £325,000 as a low scenario and £500,000 as a high scenario. The range may reflect differences in size, condition and specification, which are not supplied. The £190,000 guide is materially below these historic completed sales, but the guide is not a valuation or guaranteed purchase price.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Proceed only to further due diligence: obtain a full survey, detailed works quotation, legal pack review and independent rental evidence before bidding. Do not rely on the guide-to-GDV spread alone.

Works Required

Cosmetic updating and remedial works to the areas identified in the description. The evidence does not specify the defects, scope, specification or cost, so no quantified works allowance is supported.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

Using the base GDV indication, 75% refinance proceeds would be approximately £271,500. However, total project cost cannot be calculated because the refurbishment cost and final purchase price are unknown. The known £3,600 administration charge and potentially other auction charges would also need to be included.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

BTL analysis cannot be established because no sufficiently specific rental comparable or auctioneer rent estimate is supplied. Gross yield, operating costs and cash flow therefore remain unquantified.

Flip Analysis

The same-street sales provide a broad resale indication, but a reliable flip surplus cannot be calculated without a supported refurbishment budget, purchase price, selling allowance and other project costs. The £500,000 high comparable is older and may not be directly comparable.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• The scope and cost of the stated cosmetic updating and remedial works are unknown.

• No sufficiently specific rental evidence is available, preventing yield and cash-flow assessment.

• Comparable sale prices range widely from £325,000 to £500,000 and may reflect differences not identified in the supplied evidence.

• The guide price is not the final purchase price and the auction includes a known £3,600 administration charge.

• Additional search, seller, legal, transfer, buyer premium and disbursement charges may apply, but are not quantified.

Recommendation

Proceed only to further due diligence: obtain a full survey, detailed works quotation, legal pack review and independent rental evidence before bidding. Do not rely on the guide-to-GDV spread alone.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

There are several relevant same-street completed sales and a stated guide, but no quantified condition assessment, refurbishment budget, rent evidence, occupancy details or full auction cost schedule.
