Investment Analysis

The five supplied completed sales are detached freehold properties on Fakes Road ranging from £130,000 to £238,000. However, their bedroom numbers, floor areas, condition and accommodation are not provided, so they are only broad location/type indicators rather than directly comparable evidence for this 62 sq m one-bedroom bungalow. A provisional comparable evidence range is £130,000–£238,000, with £155,000 used as a cautious base proxy based on the supplied sales, not a formal valuation.

Investment Snapshot

Guide Price	£60,000 - £70,000 (plus fees)
HB Estimated GDV	£155,000

Strategy Recommendation

Treat primarily as a potential owner-occupier purchase or cautious cash investment, subject to survey, legal-pack review and coastal-erosion enquiries. Do not bid on a yield or BRRR basis without verified income, costs and condition.

Works Required

No specific refurbishment works are evidenced: the property is described as being in good decorative order. Allowance is still required for any defects identified through inspection, legal-pack review or survey, but no unsupported cost has been assumed.

Rental & Market Context

No sufficiently specific external rental comparable identified.

Sold Comparables

Dallas, 61, Fakes Road, Hemsby, Great Yarmouth, Great Yarmouth, Nr29 4jl 2024-10-04 · Detached · Freehold	£160,000

Potential BRRR Position

Base GDV	£155,000
75% Refinance	£116,250

Using the £155,000 provisional GDV proxy, 75% refinancing would be approximately £116,250. A complete BRRR calculation is not possible because refurbishment costs, finance costs, rent and all purchase-related disbursements are not supplied. The comparable evidence is also insufficiently detailed to confirm the GDV.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

BTL yield cannot be established because no sufficiently specific rental evidence or auctioneer rent estimate is supplied. The property has previously operated as a holiday let, but no achieved income, occupancy or operating-cost data is provided. The £60,000–£70,000 guide is before the £1,200 buyer administration charge and any legal-pack disbursements.

Flip Analysis

A flip may show apparent gross value uplift against the guide, but a reliable surplus cannot be calculated. Refurbishment costs, finance costs, selling costs and any legal-pack charges are unknown, while the supplied comparables are not sufficiently detailed to confirm the subject's resale value.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• Coastal erosion requires independent investigation, as specifically flagged by the auctioneer.

• No sufficiently specific rental evidence or passing holiday-let income is supplied.

• The five sales lack bedroom, floor-area and condition details, limiting GDV reliability.

• Special Conditions of Sale may add search fees, seller-cost reimbursements, legal fees, transfer fees or other disbursements.

• Electric heating and EPC rating D may affect running costs and future improvement requirements.

• The £1,200 buyer administration charge is payable on exchange and is additional to the guide price.

Recommendation

Treat primarily as a potential owner-occupier purchase or cautious cash investment, subject to survey, legal-pack review and coastal-erosion enquiries. Do not bid on a yield or BRRR basis without verified income, costs and condition.
