Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The strongest evidence is the completed sale of the same property at £400,000 on 13 November 2025. The other supplied same-road sales range from £249,900 to £390,000 but are older and do not provide a precise current valuation. A cautious evidence-based GDV range is £390,000–£400,000, with a £400,000 base case. The proposed side extension is excluded from the valuation because no planning application has been submitted and the drawings have not been validated.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Potentially suitable as a cautious BTL or BRRR purchase at or near the guide, subject to inspection, rent validation and full legal-pack review. Do not rely on the proposed side house without planning and viability confirmation. The limited evidenced flip margin does not support an aggressive resale strategy.

Works Required

No specific refurbishment works are evidenced. Buyers should inspect the vacant house and verify condition, while separately investigating the proposed two-bedroom side scheme, planning history, permissions and the validity of the drawings. Any works allowance is excluded from the calculations.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

At the £350,000 guide, the purchase price plus the known £1,800 admin charge is £351,800, excluding works and other possible charges. A 75% refinance against the £400,000 base GDV would be £300,000, leaving indicative cash of £51,800 still tied up before finance, tax and refurbishment costs. The strategy depends on the valuation being achieved and rent evidence being validated; no refurbishment allowance is supported by the supplied evidence.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

The supplied rental evidence is for advertised asking rents for three-bedroom flats, not achieved rents for this house, so it is only indicative. Using the midpoint of £2,206–£2,307 pcm gives annual rent of £27,078. Against the £350,000 guide, the indicative gross yield is 7.74%, or 7.70% against the £351,800 purchase price plus known £1,800 admin charge. These figures exclude finance, management, maintenance, voids, tax, insurance and unspecified legal-pack charges.

Flip Analysis

Using the £400,000 same-property completed sale as base GDV, the gross headroom over the £351,800 purchase-plus-known-admin-cost figure is £48,200 before selling costs, finance, tax, legal costs, works and any auction disbursements. A reliable flip surplus cannot be calculated because no works or selling-cost allowance is supplied. The unconsented side development should not be included in resale value.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• The proposed two-bedroom side house has no submitted planning application and its drawings and development potential are not warranted.

• The rental evidence relates to advertised asking rents for three-bedroom flats rather than achieved rents for this house.

• The property condition and any refurbishment requirement are not evidenced.

• Special-condition charges, disbursements, search fees, seller costs, legal fees or transfer fees may be payable but are not quantified.

• The £400,000 same-property sale may not be directly comparable without details of its condition, specification or timing relative to this auction.

• Finance, tax, insurance, maintenance, management, voids and selling costs are excluded from the yield and cash calculations.

Recommendation

Potentially suitable as a cautious BTL or BRRR purchase at or near the guide, subject to inspection, rent validation and full legal-pack review. Do not rely on the proposed side house without planning and viability confirmation. The limited evidenced flip margin does not support an aggressive resale strategy.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

The analysis has a recent completed sale for the exact property and a small amount of rental evidence, but condition, council tax, heating, legal-pack charges, disbursements, achieved house rents and refurbishment requirements are not supplied. The development proposal is unconsented.
