Location

Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

Same-street freehold semi-detached sales range from £60,000 to £140,000. The subject requires modernisation, but comparable condition, size and specification are not supplied. Indicative HB scenarios are £60,000 low, £110,000 base and £140,000 high; these are not formal valuations.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Proceed only subject to legal-pack review, inspection and a priced refurbishment schedule. The opportunity is potentially refurbishment-led, but do not bid on the apparent GDV spread alone.

Works Required

Modernisation and improvement works throughout, as described by the auctioneer. Specific works, costs and condition are not evidenced.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

At the £35,000 guide plus the £3,600 administration charge, the acquisition appears low relative to the indicative base GDV. However, refurbishment costs, other charges, finance costs and final valuation are unknown, so cash required and refinance surplus cannot be established. A 75% refinance of the base GDV would be £82,500 before costs.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

BTL assessment cannot be completed because no sufficiently specific rental evidence or auctioneer rent estimate is provided. The £3,600 buyer administration charge would also increase acquisition cost.

Flip Analysis

The indicative base GDV is £110,000, but refurbishment costs, resale costs and other acquisition charges are not quantified. Flip surplus therefore cannot be reliably calculated.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• Unknown refurbishment scope and cost

• Comparable sales have materially different prices and no condition or size details are supplied

• No reliable rental evidence, preventing BTL yield assessment

• Additional legal-pack disbursements and purchaser charges may apply

• Final refinance valuation may differ from the indicative GDV

Recommendation

Proceed only subject to legal-pack review, inspection and a priced refurbishment schedule. The opportunity is potentially refurbishment-led, but do not bid on the apparent GDV spread alone.
