Strategy Recommendation
Initial strategy: HMO / Income. Verify the legal pack, tenancy schedule, title, condition, finance and local market evidence before fixing a maximum bid.
Works Required
Obtain a survey and contractor quotations. Allow for services, compliance, repairs, decoration and any structural, roofing, fit-out, common-parts or development works identified.
Rental & Market Context
Where the auctioneer publishes passing rent, that figure should take priority over HB modelling. Otherwise, HB income/value figures are indicative appraisal ranges and require local verification.
Sold within approximately 5 miles
Check recent HM Land Registry transactions and closely matched commercial or residential comparables for tenure, covenant, size, condition and location.
Potential BRRR Position
Refinance potential depends on lender valuation, lease/title, income covenant, completed condition and stress testing. Commercial and mixed-use assets may require specialist finance.
Flip Analysis

Investor Risks & Due Diligence
Read the complete legal pack and special conditions
