Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The strongest evidence is the completed sale of adjoining 44 Greevegate, a freehold semi-detached property, at £460,000 on 17 June 2021. This provides a useful, but not conclusive, benchmark because the subject property’s floor area, exact condition, layout quality and post-2021 market movement are not supplied. The subject requires renovation and possible reconfiguration, so the £460,000 figure should be treated as an indicative base GDV rather than a formal valuation. The £200,000–£250,000 guide range is materially below that historic comparable but renovation costs and auction acquisition costs are unknown.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Proceed only after a detailed inspection, measured survey, renovation quotation and legal/planning review. Treat as a potential refurbishment-led resale or owner-occupier project rather than an underwritten BTL until rent and total costs are evidenced. No reliable maximum bid can be set from the supplied data.

Works Required

Renovation and improvement of the existing accommodation, with potential reconfiguration subject to any necessary planning consents. The description supports reviewing the kitchens, bathrooms, decoration, services and layout, while retaining original features such as the high ceilings where practical. No costed schedule or specific defects are provided.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

A potential buy-refurbish-refinance case exists if the property can be acquired near the lower guide and renovated efficiently, with the adjoining 2021 sale providing an indicative £460,000 GDV benchmark. However, refurbishment cost, finance cost, current condition, valuation assumptions and rental income are unavailable. A 75% refinance against the indicative base GDV would be £345,000, but cash left in cannot be calculated without total project cost.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

BTL analysis cannot be established because no sufficiently specific rental comparable or auctioneer rent estimate is supplied. The six-bedroom configuration may offer flexible letting potential, but no HMO status, licensing position, room sizes or achieved rental evidence is available.

Flip Analysis

A refurbishment-led resale may be viable in principle because the adjoining semi-detached property sold for £460,000 in 2021. Profit cannot be calculated because refurbishment costs, finance costs, selling costs and the current achievable resale value are not evidenced. The property’s renovation requirement and possible reconfiguration also create execution and consent risk.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• Renovation scope and costs are not quantified.

• Potential reconfiguration is subject to any necessary planning consents.

• The £460,000 comparable sale is from 2021 and no current market evidence is supplied.

• No sufficiently specific rental evidence is available.

• Additional auction charges may include search fees, sellers’ costs, legal fees and transfer fees, but amounts are not supplied.

• The former timber garage and existing accommodation condition have not been independently assessed.

Recommendation

Proceed only after a detailed inspection, measured survey, renovation quotation and legal/planning review. Treat as a potential refurbishment-led resale or owner-occupier project rather than an underwritten BTL until rent and total costs are evidenced. No reliable maximum bid can be set from the supplied data.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

There is one relevant adjoining completed sale and clear property/auction details, but the evidence lacks current comparable sales, floor area, detailed condition, refurbishment costs, rental evidence, finance costs and selling costs.
