Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The strongest evidence is the same-road semi-detached freehold sales at £196,600 in June 2021 and £330,000 in September 2025. An indicative base GDV of £263,300 is the arithmetic midpoint, with a £196,600–£330,000 evidence range. This is not a formal valuation: the comparables' condition, size and specification are not supplied, while this property is described as non-standard and requiring refurbishment. The £1,800 contract documentation fee is known; potential seller fees are not quantified.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Proceed only after confirming construction type, obtaining a full survey and costing the refurbishment. Do not rely on the apparent GDV uplift or pursue a flip/BRRR strategy without verified works and exit figures.

Works Required

Updating and refurbishment throughout, as stated by the auctioneer. The extent and cost require inspection and survey. EPC F and the heating arrangement should be investigated; any extension remains subject to planning consent.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

At the indicative £263,300 base GDV, 75% refinance equates to £197,475. Cash left in cannot be calculated because the refurbishment allowance, total project cost and applicable seller fees are unknown. The non-standard construction and EPC F may affect lender and refinanceability assessment.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

BTL analysis cannot be established because no sufficiently specific rental comparable or auctioneer rent estimate is supplied. Refurbishment costs, finance costs and any seller fees are also unknown.

Flip Analysis

A flip surplus cannot be calculated reliably because no refurbishment allowance or supported selling-cost allowance is supplied. The indicative GDV range is based only on two same-road semi-detached freehold sales with differing dates and unknown condition/specification.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• Non-standard construction may affect survey findings, mortgage availability and refinanceability.

• The property requires updating and refurbishment throughout, but no costed scope is supplied.

• EPC rating F may require improvement and could affect lettability or finance assessment.

• Any extension is subject to obtaining planning consent from Breckland District Council.

• No sufficiently specific rental evidence is available.

• Heating details are unknown.

• The seller may charge additional completion fees under the Special Conditions of Sale.

• The £1,800 inclusive-of-VAT contract documentation fee is payable by the buyer.

Recommendation

Proceed only after confirming construction type, obtaining a full survey and costing the refurbishment. Do not rely on the apparent GDV uplift or pursue a flip/BRRR strategy without verified works and exit figures.
