Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The supplied Land Registry evidence records historic leasehold flat sales in Jamieson House from £80,000 in 2002 to £137,000 in 2017. The sales are not identified by flat number, size, floor, condition or specification, and there is no recent sale evidence. They provide context only and do not support a reliable current GDV estimate. The £70,000+ guide is before the known £1,800 administration fee and any disbursements.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Do not bid beyond the guide without reviewing the legal pack, inspecting the flat, confirming leasehold charges and obtaining current valuation and rental evidence. Proceed only if the lease and total costs support the intended strategy.

Works Required

No specific defects or refurbishment requirements are evidenced. Allowance cannot be estimated without inspection. Confirm condition, common-area issues, lease terms, service charge, ground rent and any planned major works before bidding.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

A purchase/refurbish/refinance calculation cannot be supported because current GDV, refurbishment cost, rent and finance-related costs are unavailable. The approximately 81 years unexpired lease may affect lender appetite and future value; obtain specialist lease and mortgage advice.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

The flat is vacant, but no sufficiently specific rental comparable or auctioneer rent estimate is supplied. Rent and yield therefore cannot be established. BTL assessment also requires confirmation of service charge, ground rent, lease restrictions and property condition.

Flip Analysis

A flip surplus cannot be calculated reliably. Historic same-building sales are available, but they are dated and not matched to this specific flat by size, floor or condition. Current resale evidence, inspection findings, selling costs and lease details are required.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• Approximately 81 years remain on the lease, which may affect mortgageability, value and extension cost.

• No current, property-specific GDV evidence is supplied; the available sales are historic and not matched by flat number, size, floor or condition.

• No sufficiently specific rental evidence is available, so rental income and yield are unverified.

• Property condition and refurbishment requirements are unknown.

• Service charge, ground rent, major works liabilities and other leasehold costs are not supplied.

• Additional legal-pack disbursements may be payable on completion.

• The known £1,800 administration fee is payable in addition to the purchase price.

Recommendation

Do not bid beyond the guide without reviewing the legal pack, inspecting the flat, confirming leasehold charges and obtaining current valuation and rental evidence. Proceed only if the lease and total costs support the intended strategy.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

The property description, tenure, vacancy, guide and administration fee are supplied, but current comparable evidence, rent, condition, EPC, service charge, ground rent, disbursements and property-specific valuation data are missing.
