Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The five supplied School Street completed sales range from £190,000 to £235,000. The most relevant recent evidence is £230,000 for 6 School Street in January 2026 and £235,000 for 16 School Street in September 2024. A base GDV of £230,000 is reasonable from the supplied evidence, with £196,000 as a low scenario and £235,000 as a high scenario. No condition adjustment is possible because the property's condition is not supplied.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Proceed only subject to confirming condition, required works, parking, heating and the Special Conditions of Sale. The evidence supports market value near the guide, but the absence of rent and works data prevents a reliable BTL, BRRR or flip recommendation.

Works Required

No refurbishment works can be specified from the supplied evidence. The property's condition, specification and any required repairs or upgrades are unknown.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

The indicative 75% refinance at the base GDV is £172,500. A complete BRRR assessment is not possible because refurbishment costs, rent, finance costs and total project cost are unavailable.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

BTL assessment cannot be completed because no sufficiently specific rental evidence or auctioneer rent estimate is supplied. Gross yield, operating costs and cash-on-cash performance therefore cannot be established.

Flip Analysis

The supplied completed sales support a base resale value of approximately £230,000, but flip surplus cannot be calculated because works costs and selling costs are not supplied. The £1,800 buyer contract documentation fee is known and would need to be included in any full project appraisal.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• The guide price is not a guaranteed purchase price and may be exceeded at auction.

• Property condition and refurbishment requirements are unknown.

• No sufficiently specific rental evidence or auctioneer rent estimate is available.

• The seller may charge additional completion fees under the Special Conditions of Sale.

• Parking and heating details require confirmation from the auction centre.

• The £1,800 contract documentation fee is payable by the buyer.

Recommendation

Proceed only subject to confirming condition, required works, parking, heating and the Special Conditions of Sale. The evidence supports market value near the guide, but the absence of rent and works data prevents a reliable BTL, BRRR or flip recommendation.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

There is useful same-street completed-sales evidence, including two recent transactions, but condition, rental, refurbishment, parking, heating and potential seller fees are not sufficiently documented.
