Potential BRRR Position
BRRR analysis is not supportable because current GDV, refurbishment costs, buyer fees and refinance terms are unavailable.
Buy-to-Let Analysis
The advertised asking rents of £1,500–£1,622 pcm imply gross yields of approximately 6.21%–6.71% against the £290,000 guide, before fees, finance, voids, management and maintenance. Passing rent is not evidenced.
Flip Analysis
A flip surplus cannot be calculated because current resale value, works costs and selling costs are not evidenced.
Investor Risks & Due Diligence
• Guide price is stated as plus fees, but buyer and administration charges are unspecified.
• Rental evidence comprises advertised asking rents rather than achieved or passing rents.
• The only sold comparable dates from 1996 and is not a reliable current valuation basis.
• EPC rating is E.
• Potential enhancement or extension is subject to planning permission.
• Parking is communal and provided in a lay-by opposite the property.
Recommendation
Consider only as a potential BTL purchase, subject to independent valuation, full fee confirmation, survey and rental validation. Do not bid on the current evidence alone.
