Plans have been drawn up for an additional 8m rear extension and full wraparound loft extension. No planning application has been submitted for this scheme.

Accommodation

Ground Floor: Three Reception Rooms, Kitchen, Bedroom, Bathroom. First Floor: Two Bedrooms (One with En-Suite).

Location

The property is situated on a residential road close to local shops and amenities. The open spaces of Crane Park are within easy reach. Transport links are provided by Whitton rail station.

Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The evidence includes five completed sales on Lyndhurst Avenue, ranging from £615,000 to £710,000, but all are semi-detached freehold properties rather than this vacant mid-terrace chalet bungalow. No floor area, condition schedule, approved extension details or sufficiently comparable terrace sales are supplied. The submitted planning proposals and the separate unsubmitted scheme create material uncertainty, so a reliable GDV cannot be established from the evidence provided.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Do not bid on an assumed development or flip appraisal. Proceed only after legal, planning, measured-survey and contractor-cost due diligence establishes a supported GDV and total project cost.

Works Required

Modernisation is required, but the scope and cost are unsupported. Potential works described in the particulars include the planning-submitted 6m rear extension, single-storey side and rear extensions, and loft conversion with rear dormer. The separately drawn 8m rear extension and full wraparound loft extension have no submitted planning application and should not be assumed achievable.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

A BRRR assessment cannot be completed reliably because GDV, refurbishment cost, rent and finance-related costs are unsupported. The submitted planning proposals may offer development potential, but planning approval, buildability and final value are not evidenced. The unsubmitted larger scheme should be excluded from underwriting.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

The property is vacant and no sufficiently specific rental comparables or auctioneer rent estimate are supplied. Rental income and gross yield therefore cannot be established. The £350,000+ guide and known £1,800 inc VAT admin charge are not sufficient to assess investment returns without rent and refurbishment costs.

Flip Analysis

The completed comparables provide a £615,000–£710,000 range for semi-detached properties, but they do not establish the resale value of this mid-terrace chalet bungalow. No refurbishment budget, floor area or supported selling-cost allowance is supplied, so project surplus cannot be calculated.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• Comparable sales supplied are semi-detached rather than mid-terrace properties.

• The property is described as needing modernisation, but no quantified works schedule or cost is provided.

• The proposed 8m rear extension and full wraparound loft extension have not had a planning application submitted.

• The planning-submitted schemes may not receive approval or may differ from the described plans.

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

• Legal-pack disbursements and other special-condition charges are not quantified.

Recommendation

Do not bid on an assumed development or flip appraisal. Proceed only after legal, planning, measured-survey and contractor-cost due diligence establishes a supported GDV and total project cost.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

There is useful address-specific completed-sale evidence and clear tenure, occupancy and accommodation information, but no directly comparable terrace sales, floor area, rent, refurbishment budget, approved planning outcome or supported GDV.
