Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The supplied completed sales on Wick Crescent range from £349,125 to £580,000: £539,000 in May 2026, £480,000 in June 2024, £580,000 in November 2023 and £545,500 in July 2022. These are useful street-level evidence, but no comparable bedroom counts, floor areas, condition details or layouts are provided, and the subject’s tenure remains unconfirmed. A supported GDV cannot therefore be established without making unsupported adjustments. The £325,000 guide is below all listed comparables, but this should not be treated as evidence of a specific margin or value uplift.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Proceed only after reviewing the auction legal pack, confirming tenure and possession position, and obtaining a property inspection and floorplan-led valuation. Do not rely on the comparable sales alone to justify a bid or assume HMO or family-home economics without further evidence.

Works Required

No specific defects or required works are evidenced. The property may require tenant-related handover and any works needed to adapt the previous five-bedroom HMO layout into a family home, but the extent and cost cannot be quantified without the legal pack, inspection and floorplan details.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

A BRRR assessment cannot be quantified because GDV, refurbishment cost, rent and finance assumptions are unavailable. The guide is £325,000 and the buyer premium is £2,280 including VAT, with a £5,000 preliminary deposit required per lot and the balance due within 24 hours if successful. Refinance viability depends on verified tenure, vacant possession, condition, layout, valuation and lender treatment of the property.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

BTL analysis cannot be established because no sufficiently specific rental comparable or auctioneer rent estimate is supplied. The property was previously rented as a five-bedroom HMO, but current rental performance, licensing position and achievable rent are unconfirmed. Partial occupation and the served notices also require legal and possession due diligence.

Flip Analysis

The completed sales provide positive street-level evidence, including £539,000 in May 2026, but the comparables lack size, bedroom and condition details. A reliable resale GDV, selling allowance and flip surplus cannot be calculated without unsupported assumptions.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• Tenure is to be confirmed in the auction legal pack.

• The property is partially tenanted and notices have been served, but vacant possession and timing are not confirmed.

• No sufficiently specific rental evidence or passing rent is supplied.

• No detailed condition, floorplan measurements or refurbishment scope is supplied.

• The previous HMO use may require confirmation of its legal, licensing and physical suitability if that use is contemplated.

• The £2,280 buyer premium including VAT is payable on exchange, and the preliminary deposit and remaining monies have short payment deadlines.

• The comparable sales vary materially in price and lack detailed property specifications, limiting direct valuation reliability.

Recommendation

Proceed only after reviewing the auction legal pack, confirming tenure and possession position, and obtaining a property inspection and floorplan-led valuation. Do not rely on the comparable sales alone to justify a bid or assume HMO or family-home economics without further evidence.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

There is useful same-street completed-sale evidence and a stated guide price, but no verified tenure, floorplan measurements, condition assessment, rental evidence, GDV, refurbishment budget or confirmed vacant possession.
