Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

Same-road semi-detached completed sales range from £420,000 in July 2025 to £470,000 in April 2023, with an older £590,040 sale in February 2022. Because the comparable bedrooms, floor areas and condition are not supplied, these provide only an indicative GDV range. A cautious base GDV of £459,000 is used, with £420,000 low and £470,000 high scenarios. The subject requires complete renovation, so achieved value will depend materially on the finished specification and any required consents.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Treat as a potential refurbishment-led owner-occupier or development project only after reviewing the legal pack, inspecting the property and obtaining a detailed renovation quotation. Do not rely on the indicative GDV to set a bid without confirming condition, tenure and required consents.

Works Required

Complete renovation as described by the auctioneer. The property may also have potential for side and/or rear extension, subject to planning and other required consents. No specific defects, systems or construction requirements are evidenced, so no detailed works schedule or cost allowance can be supported.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

Using the indicative base GDV of £459,000, a 75% refinance is £344,250. However, the refurbishment budget, finance costs and total project cost are unknown, so cash left in, leverage suitability and refinance viability cannot be calculated. The £2,280 buyer premium including VAT is known and would be payable in addition to the purchase price.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

No sufficiently specific rental comparable or auctioneer rent estimate is supplied, so rent, gross yield and BTL viability cannot be established. The complete-renovation requirement would also need to be reflected in the investment appraisal before bidding.

Flip Analysis

The supplied same-road sales support an indicative finished-value range of £420,000 to £470,000, with a £459,000 base case. A flip surplus cannot be calculated because no supported refurbishment budget, finance cost, selling cost or complete project-cost allowance is supplied.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• Complete renovation is required, but no itemised scope or cost evidence is supplied.

• Comparable sale condition, bedroom count and floor areas are not provided, limiting GDV reliability.

• Tenure is unconfirmed pending review of the legal pack.

• Any side or rear extension is subject to planning and other required consents.

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

• The £2,280 buyer premium including VAT is payable on exchange, with completion stated as eight weeks from exchange or sooner by agreement.

• Additional auction, legal, finance, selling and refurbishment costs are not supplied.

Recommendation

Treat as a potential refurbishment-led owner-occupier or development project only after reviewing the legal pack, inspecting the property and obtaining a detailed renovation quotation. Do not rely on the indicative GDV to set a bid without confirming condition, tenure and required consents.
