Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

Indicative GDV is based on nearby sold evidence only. The £90,000 sale of 58–64 Dalton Road is the most relevant, although it covers a wider property than the subject. Nearby sales range from £60,099 to £100,000, with older £145,000 and £250,000 transactions less reliable due to age and limited comparability.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Proceed only as a conditional commercial freehold acquisition after reviewing the legal pack, confirming title and liabilities, and obtaining independent rental and valuation advice. Do not rely on the guide price alone.

Works Required

No specific defects or refurbishment requirements are evidenced. Inspect the glazed shop front, roller shutter, open-plan accommodation, shared yard and loading bay, and verify condition and statutory compliance.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

A 75% refinance of the base GDV indicates £67,500 gross borrowing capacity. However, total project cost, refurbishment cost, commercial rent and finance costs are unavailable, so cash extraction and viability cannot be calculated.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

BTL analysis cannot be established because no sufficiently specific rental evidence or auctioneer rent estimate is provided. Commercial letting demand, achievable rent, voids and operating costs remain unquantified.

Flip Analysis

The base GDV is estimated at £90,000 from nearby completed sales. Flip profitability cannot be calculated because refurbishment, acquisition disbursements, finance, selling costs and legal-pack liabilities are not quantified.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• No rental evidence or passing tenancy information is provided.

• The most relevant £90,000 comparable covers a wider property than the subject.

• Refurbishment and repair requirements are unknown.

• Buyer disbursements, legal fees, searches and other completion costs may apply.

• Shared rear yard and loading-bay rights should be verified in the legal pack.

• Commercial use and any alternative uses may require confirmation or consent.

Recommendation

Proceed only as a conditional commercial freehold acquisition after reviewing the legal pack, confirming title and liabilities, and obtaining independent rental and valuation advice. Do not rely on the guide price alone.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence
