Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The five completed sales on Athol Road range from £120,000 to £217,000, with a median of £180,000. The most recent comparable, 16 Athol Road, sold for £170,000 on 8 May 2026. A base GDV of £180,000 is supported by the comparable evidence, with a low scenario of £170,000 and high scenario of £217,000. Condition differences are not evidenced, so the range remains uncertain.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Potentially suitable for a cautious BTL approach only if acquired close to the lower guide and legal, condition and lease checks are satisfactory. Do not rely on the headline gross yield without confirming the buyer premium, other charges and achievable rent.

Works Required

No specific refurbishment works are evidenced in the supplied information. A physical inspection and review of the legal pack should establish whether any works are required. EPC E may warrant consideration of energy improvements, but no cost is supported.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

A 75% refinance against the £180,000 base GDV would be approximately £135,000. However, the available equity and cash left in cannot be calculated because works, buyer premium and other purchase costs are unknown. The strategy requires confirmation of condition, lease terms, achievable rent and refinance valuation.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

At the £120,000 lower guide, the advertised £725 pcm rent equates to £8,700 annually and a 7.25% gross yield before the £1,200 administration charge, buyer premium and other unknown costs. The rent is an advertised asking rent rather than achieved rent, and yield on total cost cannot be established because refurbishment and full acquisition costs are unsupported.

Flip Analysis

The comparable evidence supports a base resale value of £180,000, with a £170,000 to £217,000 range. A flip surplus cannot be calculated because refurbishment costs, buyer premium, other acquisition costs and selling costs are not supplied.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• The five completed sales range widely from £120,000 to £217,000, indicating material valuation uncertainty.

• The £725 pcm figure is an advertised asking rent, not an achieved or passing rent.

• Buyer premium, legal costs, seller-cost reimbursement, transfer fees and other charges are unspecified.

• No condition survey or refurbishment cost evidence is supplied.

• Lease length, ground rent and service-charge details are not provided despite the property being leasehold.

• The property has EPC rating E, while no improvement costs are evidenced.

Recommendation

Potentially suitable for a cautious BTL approach only if acquired close to the lower guide and legal, condition and lease checks are satisfactory. Do not rely on the headline gross yield without confirming the buyer premium, other charges and achievable rent.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

There is useful same-road completed-sale evidence and one rental asking-price indication, but condition, lease details, achieved rent, buyer premium, refurbishment requirements and selling costs are not supplied.
