Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

Same-road completed sales evidence ranges from £145,000 in March 2025 to £185,000 in May 2023, with a £159,500 sale in September 2023. These comparables are not confirmed as identical in size, condition or specification, so the valuation range is indicative only. A base GDV of £159,500 is used, with £145,000 low and £185,000 high scenarios.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Potential value-add BTL or owner-occupier purchase, but proceed only after reviewing the legal pack and obtaining a full survey and refurbishment quotation. Do not set a maximum bid until all works and additional auction costs are known.

Works Required

Modernisation and personalisation are indicated by the listing, but no detailed condition survey or schedule of works is supplied. The kitchen, bathroom, decoration and general finishes should be inspected before bidding; no specific defects or costs can be assumed.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

At the £99,000 guide, the 75% refinance amount on the base £159,500 GDV would be £119,625. However, the cash position cannot be calculated because refurbishment costs, acquisition costs beyond the stated £3,600 admin charge, finance costs and legal-pack charges are not fully supplied. The listing's modernisation requirement also makes the achieved GDV uncertain.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

The supplied rental listing advertises £1,450 pcm, equivalent to £17,400 per year. Against the £99,000 guide, this gives a headline gross yield of approximately 17.6%. This is based on an asking rent rather than achieved rent and excludes refurbishment, finance, tax, management, maintenance, voids and other costs. A total-cost yield cannot be established because refurbishment costs are unsupported.

Flip Analysis

The completed-sales evidence suggests a potential resale range of £145,000 to £185,000, with £159,500 used as the base GDV. A reliable flip surplus cannot be calculated because works, full acquisition costs, selling costs and the property's actual condition are unknown.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• The listing states the tenure is also subject to the legal pack, so freehold status and title matters require verification.

• Refurbishment is described only in broad terms and no costed schedule or survey is supplied.

• The £1,450 pcm figure is an advertised asking rent, not an achieved or guaranteed rent.

• Additional auction, legal, search, transfer and disbursement costs are unspecified.

• The completed comparables may differ from the subject property in condition, size and specification.

• The high GDV scenario relies on an older 2023 sale and may not reflect current achievable value.

Recommendation

Potential value-add BTL or owner-occupier purchase, but proceed only after reviewing the legal pack and obtaining a full survey and refurbishment quotation. Do not set a maximum bid until all works and additional auction costs are known.
