Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

Recent same-street freehold terraced sales were £150,000 in April 2024 and £167,500 in September 2025, with older sales ranging from £162,500 to £220,000. A base GDV of £167,500 is used, with a £150,000 low case and £180,000 high case. Bedroom count, condition and specification of the comparables are not supplied, so this is an indicative evidence-based range rather than a formal valuation.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Conditional refurbishment-led resale may be viable at or near the guide, subject to survey-confirmed works and full auction-fee review. Do not rely on the indicative GDV or bid without obtaining a detailed inspection and project budget.

Works Required

Updating and improvement works are indicated by the description. The likely scope should be confirmed by inspection; no specific defects, service requirements or costs are evidenced. Retain or assess the existing three-bedroom layout, two reception rooms and detached rear garage.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

At the base GDV, 75% refinance is approximately £125,625. However, refurbishment costs, buyer/admin charges and finance costs are not quantified, so total project cost, equity requirement and cash left in cannot be calculated. BRRR viability remains unproven until inspection, costing and rental evidence are obtained.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

BTL cannot be properly assessed because no sufficiently specific rental comparable or auctioneer rent estimate is provided. Gross yield, annual rent and a maximum bid cannot therefore be established. The property is vacant and requires updating, creating potential void and works-cost exposure.

Flip Analysis

The guide is £115,000 against an indicative base GDV of £167,500, giving a gross price-to-GDV spread of £52,500 before works, fees, finance, tax and selling costs. Because refurbishment and selling allowances are unsupported, a reliable flip surplus and maximum bid cannot be calculated.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• The property requires updating and improvement, but the extent and cost of works are not evidenced.

• No sufficiently specific rental evidence is available, preventing a supported BTL yield assessment.

• Administration and other non-optional auction fees may be payable but are not quantified.

• The comparable sales do not include supplied bedroom, condition or specification details, limiting GDV reliability.

• Stamp Duty, Land Registry fees, VAT, finance and selling costs are not quantified.

Recommendation

Conditional refurbishment-led resale may be viable at or near the guide, subject to survey-confirmed works and full auction-fee review. Do not rely on the indicative GDV or bid without obtaining a detailed inspection and project budget.
