Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The three most recent supplied sales at Hudson House were £275,000 in April 2026, £284,000 in November 2023 and £255,000 in April 2023. As the evidence does not confirm the comparables' bedroom count, floor, size, condition or exact lease terms, £275,000 is used as the base GDV, with £255,000–£284,000 as an evidence-supported scenario range. The £160,000 guide represents a substantial discount to these sales, but condition, service charge and other lease information remain unconfirmed.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Potentially suitable for a value-led BTL or resale strategy only if inspection and leasehold due diligence confirm acceptable condition, service charge, ground-rent reviews and resaleability. Do not bid on the guide alone without obtaining the missing costs and lease information.

Works Required

No specific defects or refurbishment requirements are supplied. Allowance cannot be estimated responsibly. Before bidding, inspect the flat and obtain information on condition, heating, parking, service charge, lease administration and any required works.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

At the guide, the implied 75% refinance of the £275,000 base GDV is £206,250. However, refurbishment costs, service charge, finance costs and any seller fees are unknown, so total project cost and cash left in cannot be calculated. Refinance feasibility would also depend on lender valuation and lease/building due diligence.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

The supplied advertised one-bedroom rents range from £1,400 to £1,635 pcm; the midpoint of £1,517.50 pcm equates to £18,210 annually and an indicative 11.38% gross yield on the £160,000 guide. The low-to-high guide yield range is 10.50%–12.26%. These are asking rents rather than achieved rents, and the annual service charge is unknown, so net yield and total-cost yield cannot be established.

Flip Analysis

The supplied evidence indicates a base GDV of £275,000 and a £255,000–£284,000 scenario range. A flip surplus cannot be calculated because works, selling costs, finance costs and any additional seller fees are not supplied. The valuation evidence is also not confirmed as directly comparable in size, bedroom count or condition.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• Annual service charge is unknown.

• Ground-rent review period and future increases are unknown; current ground rent is £200 per annum.

• The supplied rental evidence consists of advertised asking rents rather than achieved rents and is not confirmed as specific to Hudson House.

• The comparable sales are not confirmed as matching this flat's bedroom count, size, floor, condition or lease terms.

• Condition and any refurbishment requirement are not supplied.

• Parking and heating details are unknown.

• The seller may charge additional completion fees under the special conditions.

• The £1,800 inclusive-of-VAT contract documentation fee is payable by the buyer and is not included in the guide price.

Recommendation

Potentially suitable for a value-led BTL or resale strategy only if inspection and leasehold due diligence confirm acceptable condition, service charge, ground-rent reviews and resaleability. Do not bid on the guide alone without obtaining the missing costs and lease information.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

There are several same-address completed sales and three rental asking-price indicators, but comparable specifications, condition, service charge, parking, heating, refurbishment requirements and possible seller fees are incomplete.
