Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The only same-address completed sale supplied is £30,000 for an “Other” freehold property, which is not sufficiently comparable to a loft space. The £285,000 sale at 82 High Street and semi-detached sales at 66 High Street are not reliable evidence for a loft conversion GDV. A market value cannot be established without confirmed planning status, accommodation, access, services, condition and conversion feasibility.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Treat as a conditional development opportunity only. Obtain legal, planning, building-control, access, services and survey advice before bidding; do not rely on the apparent guide-price discount.

Works Required

Investigate and, if feasible, obtain approval for conversion to a one-bedroom flat, then complete only the conversion works supported by surveys and the approved design. The evidence does not establish the required structural, access, service, fire-safety, insulation, heating or finishing works.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

A BRRR strategy cannot be underwritten from the supplied evidence. GDV, refurbishment cost and refinance value are all unsupported, while the £1,200 administration charge is known and further charges may apply. Conversion and lender eligibility require confirmation before bidding.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

The £995 pcm figure is one advertised asking rent for a one-bedroom apartment elsewhere in Bristol, not achieved rent and not evidence that this loft is currently lettable. BTL yield cannot be established until conversion feasibility, legal use, costs and a directly comparable rent are verified.

Flip Analysis

A flip appraisal is not supportable. The nearby completed sales are materially different property types or otherwise unsuitable, and no conversion cost, planning position or resale GDV is available. Estimated flip surplus is therefore not calculated.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• Conversion to a one-bedroom flat may not be permitted or technically feasible; no planning or building-control evidence is supplied.

• No inspection or condition information is supplied, so structural, fire-safety, access, services and other conversion requirements are unknown.

• The £995 pcm figure is an advertised asking rent for a different Bristol postcode and is not a passing or achieved rent.

• Comparable sales are not sufficiently comparable to establish a loft conversion GDV.

• Additional buyer, seller-cost reimbursement, legal, transfer, search and disbursement charges may apply.

• EPC, council tax, heating, parking, occupancy and lease information are absent.

Recommendation

Treat as a conditional development opportunity only. Obtain legal, planning, building-control, access, services and survey advice before bidding; do not rely on the apparent guide-price discount.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

The evidence lacks confirmed use, planning, condition, accommodation details, conversion costs, GDV, directly comparable rents and several property particulars. Only one weak same-address sale, one Bristol asking rent and the £1,200 administration charge are available.
