Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The strongest evidence is 71 Barrows Road, a freehold terraced sale at £220,000 on 13 July 2026. However, its bedroom count, condition and specification are not supplied, so it is not a fully verified like-for-like comparable. Older Barrows Road sales range from £123,500 to £135,000 between 2016 and 2019, but are too dated to use directly without further evidence. A provisional base GDV of £220,000 is indicated, subject to inspection and legal-pack review; reliable low and high scenarios cannot be established from the supplied evidence.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Do not bid solely on the £40,000 guide. First verify the legal pack, condition, EPC, comparable specification, additional fees and a local rental appraisal; proceed only if the resulting full project budget supports the intended exit.

Works Required

No condition defects or refurbishment scope are supplied. Obtain and review the legal pack, EPC and inspection information before budgeting for works. Do not assume that the kitchen, bathroom, heating, roof, services or internal finishes require replacement.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

Using the provisional £220,000 base GDV, a theoretical 75% refinance is £165,000. A BRRR cash-left-in calculation cannot be established because refurbishment costs, finance costs, taxes and other completion costs are unknown. The £2,700 administration charge is known, while additional special-condition costs are not supplied.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

BTL analysis cannot be completed because no sufficiently specific rental comparable or auctioneer rent estimate is provided. Gross yield, annual rent and maximum bid are therefore unsupported. The property is vacant and would require confirmed condition, compliance and letting-cost information before acquisition.

Flip Analysis

A flip surplus cannot be calculated because no refurbishment allowance, selling-cost allowance or verified like-for-like GDV range is available. The £220,000 GDV indication relies principally on one recent same-road sale whose specification and condition are unknown.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• The principal recent comparable lacks supplied bedroom, condition and specification details.

• No sufficiently specific rental evidence is available, preventing yield analysis.

• Refurbishment requirements and costs are unknown because condition information is not supplied.

• Additional special-condition costs are unknown; only the £2,700 administration charge is stated.

• EPC and legal-pack details have not been provided.

• The £40,000 guide is not evidence of market value or total acquisition cost.

Recommendation

Do not bid solely on the £40,000 guide. First verify the legal pack, condition, EPC, comparable specification, additional fees and a local rental appraisal; proceed only if the resulting full project budget supports the intended exit.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

There is one recent same-road freehold terraced sale and several older sales, but no verified comparable specifications, condition data, rental evidence, refurbishment costs, EPC details or complete fee schedule.
