Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

Completed sales on Hawkshead Road range from £50,000 to £100,000, with a median of £72,750 and the two most recent sales at £80,000 and £50,000. A base GDV of £72,750 is used, with a low scenario of £57,000 and high scenario of £80,000. Confidence is limited because the subject is described inconsistently as both three-bedroom and two-bedroom, and no condition details are supplied.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Investigate as a potential low-cost buy-to-let only if the legal pack, lease, condition and true bedroom count are satisfactory. Do not set a maximum bid without confirmed works, buyer premium and other auction charges.

Works Required

No specific repair or refurbishment works are evidenced. Obtain a full inspection and review the legal pack, including the lease, before bidding. EPC E may warrant future energy-efficiency review, but no cost is supported.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

Using the £72,750 base GDV, 75% refinancing would be approximately £54,562.50. A BRRR assessment cannot be completed reliably because refurbishment costs, buyer premium, other auction charges, finance costs and the actual purchase price are not supplied.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

The supplied rental evidence indicates an advertised asking rent of £825 pcm, equivalent to £9,900 annually. This implies a gross yield of approximately 28.29% at the £35,000 lower guide and 15.23% at the £65,000 upper guide, before finance, management, maintenance, voids, tax and auction costs. The rent evidence is broad South Yorkshire evidence rather than a property-specific achieved rent, and the bedroom discrepancy requires clarification.

Flip Analysis

The comparable-sales evidence supports a broad GDV range of £57,000 to £80,000, with a £72,750 base case. A flip surplus cannot be calculated because refurbishment costs, purchase price, buyer premium and resale costs are unsupported. The inconsistent bedroom description also affects resale valuation.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• Conflicting description: the property field states three bedrooms, while the detailed description states two bedrooms.

• No condition or refurbishment-cost evidence is supplied.

• Rental evidence is advertised asking rent for broad South Yorkshire categories, not achieved rent for this property.

• Buyer premium and other possible auction, legal and disbursement costs are unspecified.

• Lease length, ground rent, service charges and other lease terms are not supplied.

• EPC rating is E.

• Comparable sale prices range materially from £50,000 to £100,000.

Recommendation

Investigate as a potential low-cost buy-to-let only if the legal pack, lease, condition and true bedroom count are satisfactory. Do not set a maximum bid without confirmed works, buyer premium and other auction charges.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

There are five completed local comparables and broad rental asking evidence, but the property description conflicts on bedroom count and provides no condition, refurbishment, buyer-premium or full-fee information.
