Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

Five same-development leasehold flat sales range from £237,500 to £267,000, averaging £253,400. These provide a useful but not definitive GDV indication because bedroom, condition and specification differences are not supplied. The approximately 114-year lease is not evidently short, but service-charge, ground-rent and legal-pack details are unavailable.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Proceed only after reviewing the legal pack, leasehold charges and inspection evidence. At the guide, investigate as a potential value-led resale or rental purchase, but do not set a reliable bid ceiling from the supplied evidence alone.

Works Required

No specific defects or refurbishment requirements are evidenced. Obtain inspection and legal-pack information before budgeting; only ordinary preparation or repairs identified by inspection should be allowed for.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

A potential BRRR discount exists against the comparable sales, with indicative 75% refinance capacity of £190,050 against the base GDV. However, works, finance costs, leasehold charges, rent and full acquisition costs are unknown, so cash left in and refinance profitability cannot be calculated.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

BTL viability cannot be established because no sufficiently specific rental evidence or auctioneer rent estimate is provided. The £115,000 guide plus the known £1,800 administration charge excludes other possible purchase costs, works and ongoing leasehold charges.

Flip Analysis

The comparable evidence indicates a base resale value of approximately £253,400, but flip surplus cannot be calculated without a supported works budget, full acquisition costs and selling allowance. The vacant status may assist resale, subject to condition and legal-pack review.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• No supported rental evidence, so income yield cannot be assessed.

• Condition and refurbishment requirements are unknown.

• Special-condition charges, searches, seller costs, legal fees and transfer fees may be payable.

• Leasehold service charge, ground rent and management information are not supplied.

• Comparable sales may differ in specification, condition or size.

• Auction purchase carries uncertainty until the legal pack is reviewed.

Recommendation

Proceed only after reviewing the legal pack, leasehold charges and inspection evidence. At the guide, investigate as a potential value-led resale or rental purchase, but do not set a reliable bid ceiling from the supplied evidence alone.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

Five relevant same-development sold comparables are available, but rental evidence, condition, EPC, leasehold charges, full fees and works costs are missing.
