Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The five supplied completed sales at Primo Court, 19 Berrymede Road range from £445,000 to £850,000, but they do not identify matching bedroom count, floor, size, condition or unit comparability. A reliable GDV cannot therefore be established. The stated 420 sq m GIA should also be verified against the legal pack and measured plans.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Do not set a bid from the supplied evidence alone. Obtain inspection, legal-pack review, verified floor area, comparable unit evidence, refurbishment quotes and rental evidence before considering the purchase.

Works Required

Modernisation of the vacant one-bedroom flat, with the precise scope and cost to be confirmed by inspection and the legal pack. No specific defects or works are evidenced.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

BRRR cannot be reliably assessed without a supported GDV, refurbishment budget, rent, finance assumptions and full purchase-cost information. The new 990-year lease is stated, but other leasehold and legal-pack matters require verification.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

BTL viability cannot be assessed because no sufficiently specific rental evidence or auctioneer rent estimate is supplied. The stated £175,000+ guide excludes the £1,800 administration charge and any other special-condition costs.

Flip Analysis

A flip appraisal cannot be supported because the comparable sales are not sufficiently specific and no refurbishment or selling-cost allowance is provided. The £445,000–£850,000 sales range should not be treated as a valuation for this flat.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• Insufficiently specific comparable evidence creates substantial valuation uncertainty.

• The flat is stated to need modernisation, but no condition survey or works budget is supplied.

• No supported rental evidence is available, preventing yield assessment.

• The £1,800 administration charge is known, but additional special-condition charges may apply and are unspecified.

• The stated approximately 420 sq m GIA should be verified against the legal pack and plans.

• Leasehold legal terms and completion of the new 990-year lease require legal verification.

Recommendation

Do not set a bid from the supplied evidence alone. Obtain inspection, legal-pack review, verified floor area, comparable unit evidence, refurbishment quotes and rental evidence before considering the purchase.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

Completed sales are supplied, but they lack sufficient unit-level comparability; rent, works cost, selling costs and several purchase charges are unsupported or unknown.
