Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The five supplied sold comparables on Gordon Road range from £185,000 to £291,000, with an average of approximately £241,800. The same property sold for £185,000 on 23 March 2026, which is particularly relevant but may reflect its condition or transaction circumstances, neither of which is supplied. A base GDV of £240,000 is therefore used, with a cautious evidence-based range of £185,000 to £291,000.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Potential BTL at or near the guide, subject to inspection, rent validation and full fee review. Do not rely on the apparent BRRR or flip margin without verified condition, costs and resale evidence.

Works Required

No specific defects or refurbishment requirements are evidenced. A physical inspection and survey are required before assigning a works budget; the supplied accommodation should otherwise be assessed for its existing condition and presentation.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

Using the base GDV of £240,000, 75% refinance is approximately £180,000. This is only £5,000 above the guide price and does not account for works, acquisition costs, finance, tax or other charges. Cash left in cannot therefore be calculated and the strategy is highly dependent on the actual condition and purchase price.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

At the £175,000 guide, the advertised £1,300 pcm rent implies annual rent of £15,600 and a gross yield of approximately 8.9% before costs. This is based on an asking rent rather than achieved or passing rent. The yield on total cost cannot be established because refurbishment, buyer and other charges are not supplied.

Flip Analysis

Against the £175,000 guide, the base GDV indicates a £65,000 gross difference before refurbishment, selling costs, finance, tax and acquisition charges. No supported flip surplus can be calculated because works and selling allowances are unavailable. The wide comparable range and the recent £185,000 sale of the subject property require caution.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• The property’s condition and any required works are not evidenced.

• The £1,300 pcm figure is an advertised asking rent, not an achieved or passing rent.

• Buyer, administration, seller and other third-party charges are not quantified.

• Comparable sales range widely from £185,000 to £291,000.

• The same property sold for £185,000 in March 2026, creating uncertainty around the appropriate GDV.

• An eight-week completion period applies, creating a compressed completion timetable.

Recommendation

Potential BTL at or near the guide, subject to inspection, rent validation and full fee review. Do not rely on the apparent BRRR or flip margin without verified condition, costs and resale evidence.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

There is useful comparable and rental evidence, including a recent sale of the subject property, but condition, EPC, legal charges, buyer/admin fees, refurbishment costs and achieved rent are not supplied.
