Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The guide is £210,000. The strongest evidence is 52 Swanstree Avenue, a freehold terraced property sold for £325,000 on 21 November 2025. This is on the same road but the evidence does not confirm its size, condition or specification relative to the subject, which is in need of modernisation throughout. The £115,000 gap between the guide and that sale may indicate refurbishment and auction pricing factors, but no adjusted market value can be established with confidence.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Proceed only after inspection and review of the Special Conditions, with a fully costed refurbishment and selling strategy. The recent same-road sale supports further investigation, but the current evidence is insufficient to set a bid limit.

Works Required

Modernisation throughout, with the detailed scope to be confirmed by inspection. The evidence does not specify the condition or required works to the kitchen, bathroom, decorations, services, gardens or rear outbuilding, so no reliable refurbishment allowance can be calculated.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

A potential BRRR route is suggested by the guide being below the recent same-road £325,000 sale, but refurbishment cost, achievable rent, finance costs and lender valuation are unknown. The 75% GDV refinance figure cannot be treated as a reliable project outcome without stronger evidence.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

A BTL yield cannot be established because no sufficiently specific rental comparable or auctioneer rent estimate is provided. The property is vacant and requires modernisation, so letting readiness and costs also remain unquantified.

Flip Analysis

A flip may be viable if the property can be modernised and resold near the £325,000 same-road comparable, but the works budget, acquisition costs, selling costs and the subject property's condition are unknown. No reliable flip surplus or maximum bid can therefore be calculated.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• The property is described as needing modernisation throughout, but the extent and cost of works are unknown.

• Only one recent same-road comparable is available and its size, specification and condition are not provided.

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

• Buyer fees, administration charges and any applicable VAT or seller charges are not quantified.

• Vacant possession is stated, but no detailed inspection, services information, parking information or council tax data is provided.

Recommendation

Proceed only after inspection and review of the Special Conditions, with a fully costed refurbishment and selling strategy. The recent same-road sale supports further investigation, but the current evidence is insufficient to set a bid limit.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

There is one recent same-road completed sale and basic property details, but no confirmed subject-specific valuation adjustment, rental evidence, refurbishment budget, buyer/admin fees or selling costs.
