Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

Five completed sales on the same road range from £50,000 to £100,000, with a median of £72,750 and average of £71,950. Given the wide spread and no floor area, condition or specification evidence, £72,750 is used as an indicative base GDV, with £57,000 low and £100,000 high scenarios. This is not a formal valuation.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Proceed only subject to inspection, lease/legal review and confirmation of all auction charges. A low-entry-price BTL may merit further investigation, but the evidence is insufficient to support a firm bid or flip strategy.

Works Required

No specific defects or refurbishment scope are evidenced. Allow for inspection-led works only; EPC E may warrant assessment of energy-efficiency improvements. No reliable works budget can be calculated from the supplied information.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

At a base GDV of £72,750, 75% refinance is approximately £54,562.50. Cash left in cannot be established because refurbishment costs, buyer premium and other completion charges are unspecified. BRRR viability therefore depends heavily on purchase price, actual condition, achievable rent and lease/legal due diligence.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

The only S4-specific rental evidence is £416 pcm, while broader South Yorkshire and Sheffield listings are £875 pcm and £1,200 pcm; all are advertised asking rents rather than achieved rents. Against the base GDV, this implies a broad indicative gross yield range of 6.87% to 19.80%, but the rental evidence is too inconsistent to establish a dependable achievable rent. Vacant possession means there is no passing rent.

Flip Analysis

Completed same-road sales support a broad resale range of £57,000 to £100,000, with £72,750 as the base GDV. A flip surplus cannot be calculated because works, buyer premium, selling costs and other transaction charges are not quantified. The wide comparable range also creates material exit-value risk.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• Leasehold terms, remaining lease length, service charges and other lease liabilities are not supplied.

• Buyer premium is unspecified and additional legal, search, transfer and seller-cost charges may apply.

• The property is vacant, so there is no confirmed passing rent or tenant history.

• Rental evidence is advertised asking rent only and varies materially by geography.

• The EPC is rated E, but the required improvement scope and cost are unknown.

• Same-road completed sales range widely from £50,000 to £100,000, creating valuation and exit-price uncertainty.

• Property condition and refurbishment requirements are not evidenced.

Recommendation

Proceed only subject to inspection, lease/legal review and confirmation of all auction charges. A low-entry-price BTL may merit further investigation, but the evidence is insufficient to support a firm bid or flip strategy.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

There are five same-road completed sales and three rental advertisements, but the evidence lacks property size, condition, lease terms, service charges, achievable rent, refurbishment costs, buyer premium and other transaction costs.
