Preferred strategy: Buy-to-Let / Resale. Confirm this against the legal pack, inspection, finance and local market evidence before bidding.

Works Required

• Obtain a condition / structural survey

• Electrical and heating checks

• Allow for decoration and repairs

HB initial works allowance: £5,400–£15,000. This is an investment-feasibility allowance, not a contractor quotation.

Rental & Market Context

No reliable current rent is stated in the supplied scrape. For initial appraisal only, HB estimates market rent at approximately £800–£975 pcm (£9,600–£11,700 pa). This is an HB estimate and should be verified against current local lettings.

GDV / Resale Analysis

HB indicative post-works / stabilised value range: £194,400–£219,600. This is an appraisal estimate only, not a RICS valuation. Verify against recent genuinely comparable sold evidence.

Properties Sold Within Approx. 5 Miles

Specific sold transactions are not contained in the supplied scrape, so no unverified addresses or sold prices have been inserted. Check recent Land Registry / local comparable evidence before setting a maximum bid.

Potential BRRR Position

Illustrative middle case: guide £180,000 plus midpoint works of £10,200 gives about £190,200 before acquisition/finance costs. At the midpoint HB value of £207,000, an illustrative 75% refinance is about £155,250, leaving approximately £34,950 of purchase/works capital before transaction costs.

Flip Analysis

Midpoint HB value £207,000 less guide and midpoint works gives an initial gross spread of about £16,800. This is not profit: SDLT, auction fees, legal fees, finance, holding costs, utilities, insurance, selling fees and contingency must also be deducted.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• Confirm buyer's premium / auction administration charges and completion timetable

• Obtain a suitable condition or structural survey

• Verify refurbishment quotations and contingency
