Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The strongest evidence is the same property selling for £88,500 on 6 March 2026, only £3,500 above the £85,000 guide. Other sales at number 4 on the same terrace were £115,000 in November 2024 and £135,000 in August 2023, but differences in condition and specification are unknown. A supported base GDV is therefore £88,500, with £115,000 representing an evidence-based higher scenario rather than a formal valuation.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Potential buy-to-let only subject to survey, legal review, achievable-rent verification and confirmation of all auction charges. Avoid relying on a flip or BRRR uplift unless the purchase price remains materially below the latest £88,500 same-property sale and costs are fully established.

Works Required

No specific works can be established from the supplied evidence. A survey and legal review should confirm condition, services, the kitchen, bathroom, roof, windows, heating and the additional second-floor room before bidding.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

At a base GDV of £88,500, 75% refinance would be approximately £66,375. Cash left in cannot be calculated reliably because works, fees and total project cost are unknown. The latest same-property sale provides limited support for valuation uplift, so a BRRR strategy requires strict purchase-price and works-cost control.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

The supplied £850 pcm figure is an advertised asking rent, not an achieved rent. At the £85,000 guide this equates to a 12.0% gross yield before finance, voids, management, maintenance, insurance, tax and acquisition costs. The return on total cost cannot be established because refurbishment, buyer/admin fees and other charges are not supplied.

Flip Analysis

Using the base GDV of £88,500 against the £85,000 guide leaves £3,500 before refurbishment, finance, purchase, selling and other costs. No supported selling allowance or works budget is available, so a reliable flip surplus cannot be calculated. The £115,000 higher scenario is based on a different house on the terrace and should not be relied upon without condition evidence.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• The latest completed sale of the same property was £88,500, leaving limited apparent headroom over the £85,000 guide before costs.

• Property condition and refurbishment requirements are not evidenced.

• The £850 pcm figure is an advertised asking rent rather than a verified achieved rent.

• Buyer premium, administration charges and other seller or third-party fees are unspecified.

• EPC, council tax, heating, parking and other property information are unavailable.

• The description refers to Holywell Lane while the property address is Birkwood Terrace; address and title particulars should be verified.

• The second-floor further room should not be treated as an additional bedroom without confirmation.

Recommendation

Potential buy-to-let only subject to survey, legal review, achievable-rent verification and confirmation of all auction charges. Avoid relying on a flip or BRRR uplift unless the purchase price remains materially below the latest £88,500 same-property sale and costs are fully established.
