Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The supplied completed sales on Sheep Way range from £182,500 to £224,000. The most recent sale was £209,000 on 10 October 2025, while the two 2023 sales were £205,000 and £224,000. Given the subject flat's stated good decorative order, 870 sq ft, parking, long lease and matching location, a base GDV of £209,000 is supported. A low scenario of £205,000 and high scenario of £224,000 reflect the more relevant supplied evidence; the £182,500 sale is older and lower but remains a downside reference. No external rental comparable was identified, so the £1,250 pcm figure is an auctioneer estimate only.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

The guide price offers a strong apparent discount to the supplied completed sales, but the high service and estates charge, ground rent and uncertain auctioneer rent estimate require verification. Subject to legal, lease and service-charge due diligence, a buy-to-let or BRRR strategy is more supportable than a flip because the property is described as already in good order.

Works Required

No specific refurbishment works are evidenced. The flat is described as being in good decorative order. Allow for inspection, minor maintenance and compliance checks only; no monetary works allowance has been included because costs are unsupported.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

Using the £137,000 guide, known buyer/admin charges of £2,940 and no unsupported works allowance, the analysed cost is £139,940. A 75% refinance against the £209,000 base GDV would be £156,750, indicating £16,810 more than the analysed acquisition cost before finance, tax, valuation, refinance and other costs. Actual refinance proceeds are not guaranteed and depend on lender valuation, affordability and lease/service-charge assessment.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

At the auctioneer's estimated rent of £1,250 pcm, annual gross rent is £15,000. This produces 10.95% gross yield on the £137,000 guide and 10.72% on the guide plus the £1,800 buyer premium and £1,140 admin charge. The annual £2,596 service and estates charge plus £359 ground rent total £2,955 before management, maintenance, finance, tax and voids, reducing the indicative income after those two stated property charges to £12,045 per year. The rent is an estimate and no sufficiently specific rental comparable was supplied.

Flip Analysis

The base GDV is estimated at £209,000 against an analysed guide-based cost of £139,940, giving £69,060 before selling costs, finance, tax and any works. A formal flip surplus is not estimated because no selling-cost allowance or finance-cost evidence was supplied.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• The £1,250 pcm rent is an auctioneer estimate rather than achieved or independently evidenced rent.

• Annual service and estates charges of £2,596 and ground rent of £359 materially affect net income.

• Special Conditions of Sale may add search fees, sellers' costs, legal fees, transfer fees and other charges not quantified in the analysis.

• The property is leasehold; lease terms, service-charge accounts, reserve funds, major works exposure and transfer restrictions require legal review.

• Refinance proceeds depend on lender valuation, underwriting and treatment of the service charge and lease.

• No specific refurbishment or repair costs have been evidenced, so the cost model excludes any unknown works.

Recommendation

The guide price offers a strong apparent discount to the supplied completed sales, but the high service and estates charge, ground rent and uncertain auctioneer rent estimate require verification. Subject to legal, lease and service-charge due diligence, a buy-to-let or BRRR strategy is more supportable than a flip because the property is described as already in good order.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

Strong address-specific completed-sale evidence and clear property/lease details are supplied, but rental evidence is limited to an auctioneer estimate and there is no confirmed condition budget, full auction legal-cost schedule or exact service-charge detail beyond the stated annual figures.
