Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

Same-street freehold terraced sales range from £130,000 to £188,000. The more recent evidence ranges from £150,000 to £188,000, but the comparable bedroom counts and condition are not supplied. An indicative base GDV of £178,000 is therefore used cautiously, with £150,000 low and £188,000 high scenarios. Full refurbishment costs, rental evidence and legal-pack disbursements are not quantified, so project profitability and maximum bid cannot be established reliably.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Proceed only as a refurbishment-led resale opportunity if the legal pack, building condition and contractor quotations support the GDV. Do not bid using a fixed maximum without verified refurbishment costs.

Works Required

Full refurbishment as stated in the listing, including improvement and personalisation of the two reception rooms, lower-ground-floor kitchen area, bathroom, separate WC, bedrooms and associated finishes. The condition and required specification of individual elements are not supplied, so no detailed scope or cost allowance is assumed.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

Using the indicative £178,000 base GDV, a 75% refinance would be approximately £133,500. However, the full refurbishment cost and total project cost are unknown, so cash left in, equity and BRRR viability cannot be calculated.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

BTL analysis cannot be established because no sufficiently specific rental comparable or auctioneer rent estimate is provided. Refurbishment costs and total acquisition costs are also unquantified.

Flip Analysis

Recent same-street sales provide an indicative resale range of £150,000 to £188,000, with £178,000 as the base GDV. No refurbishment allowance or supported selling-cost allowance is available, so flip surplus and maximum purchase price cannot be calculated.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• The property is described as requiring full refurbishment, but the scope and cost are not provided.

• The comparable sales do not include bedroom counts or condition, limiting GDV comparability.

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

• Legal-pack disbursements may become payable on completion and are not quantified.

• The guide is stated to be plus fees; the £1,800 buyer premium and £1,200 administration charge are payable on exchange, with other costs potentially payable.

Recommendation

Proceed only as a refurbishment-led resale opportunity if the legal pack, building condition and contractor quotations support the GDV. Do not bid using a fixed maximum without verified refurbishment costs.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

Same-street completed sales and the guide/known auction charges are available, but comparable specifications, refurbishment costs, rental evidence, legal-pack disbursements and detailed condition information are missing.
