Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The latest supplied comparable is 15 Kempson Crescent, a semi-detached freehold house sold for £450,000 in December 2024. This provides a useful local reference, but the evidence does not confirm comparable size, condition, specification or construction. The subject's non-standard construction may affect mortgageability and resale value, so £450,000 is an indicative base GDV only, not a formal valuation.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Proceed only after reviewing the legal pack, confirming buyer and seller charges, obtaining specialist advice on the non-standard construction and establishing a supported rental or resale valuation. Do not rely on the guide-to-comparable gap as profit.

Works Required

No specific refurbishment works are evidenced because the property is described as being in clean decorative order. Obtain specialist advice on the non-standard construction and investigate the outbuilding or extension potential, subject to permissions and consents. Any necessary works cannot be costed from the supplied evidence.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

A £450,000 base GDV is indicated by the latest same-road comparable, implying 75% of GDV of £337,500. However, refurbishment costs, purchase fees, construction risk and mortgageability are unknown. The refinance and cash-left-in position therefore cannot be reliably established.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

BTL analysis cannot be completed because no sufficiently specific rental evidence or auctioneer rent estimate is supplied. The guide price is £195,000, but the buyer's fee and any VAT or seller charges are unspecified, preventing a reliable total-cost and yield calculation.

Flip Analysis

The apparent gap between the £195,000 guide and the £450,000 indicative comparable is not a dependable flip margin. Works, buyer costs, VAT, seller charges, selling costs and the effect of non-standard construction are not supplied, so flip surplus cannot be calculated.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• Non-standard construction may affect mortgageability, insurance and resale value.

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

• Buyer premium amount is unspecified.

• VAT may apply and seller's additional charges are unknown.

• The outbuilding and extension potential are subject to permissions and consents.

• Comparable evidence is limited and does not confirm equivalent size, condition or specification.

Recommendation

Proceed only after reviewing the legal pack, confirming buyer and seller charges, obtaining specialist advice on the non-standard construction and establishing a supported rental or resale valuation. Do not rely on the guide-to-comparable gap as profit.
