Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The strongest evidence is the same-street semi-detached sale at £192,500 on 27 February 2026. Older same-street sales range from £148,000 to £300,000, indicating material variability and possible differences in condition or specification. A base GDV of £192,500 is used as an evidence-led estimate, with £148,000 low and £300,000 high scenarios; these are not formal valuations.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Proceed only after inspection, full modernisation quotations and review of the special conditions. Do not rely on rental or resale profit assumptions until costs and market evidence are verified.

Works Required

Modernisation is required, but the evidence does not specify particular defects or scope. Obtain a full inspection and contractor quotations before budgeting for kitchen, bathroom, decoration, services or other works.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

At the £125,000 guide plus the £1,500 buyer premium, the known acquisition cost before refurbishment and any other applicable seller charges is £126,500. A 75% refinance against the £192,500 base GDV would be £144,375, but total project cost and cash left in cannot be calculated because refurbishment costs and any additional charges are unknown.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

No sufficiently specific rental comparable or auctioneer rent estimate is supplied, so rent, gross yield and BTL cash flow cannot be established. The property is vacant and has five bedrooms, but occupancy or HMO suitability should not be assumed from the evidence.

Flip Analysis

The base GDV estimate is £192,500, but refurbishment cost, finance cost and selling allowance are unavailable. A reliable flip surplus and maximum bid therefore cannot be calculated. The £148,000 to £300,000 comparable range highlights valuation risk.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• The property requires modernisation, but no detailed condition report or works budget is supplied.

• Same-street sold evidence ranges widely from £148,000 to £300,000.

• No sufficiently specific rental evidence is available, so rental yield cannot be assessed.

• Additional seller charges may apply under the special conditions and are not quantified.

• Refurbishment, finance and resale costs are unknown, preventing a reliable maximum bid or flip surplus calculation.

Recommendation

Proceed only after inspection, full modernisation quotations and review of the special conditions. Do not rely on rental or resale profit assumptions until costs and market evidence are verified.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

A recent same-street completed sale supports the base GDV, but the comparable range is wide and there is no refurbishment budget, rental evidence, finance cost, selling allowance or detail of potential additional seller charges.
