Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The strongest evidence is the same property, 7 Marley Croft, recorded sold at £150,000 on 24 July 2026. The 2016 Marley Croft sales range from £170,000 to £275,000 but are materially older and less useful for current value. A base GDV of £150,000 is therefore supported, although current condition, service charge and legal-pack matters are not supplied.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Proceed only with substantial caution and after reviewing the legal pack, leasehold costs and physical condition. The supplied evidence does not establish a compelling BTL or BRRR case, while the apparent flip margin at guide is very thin.

Works Required

No condition or specification of required works is supplied. Allow for inspection and any works identified in the legal pack or survey; no refurbishment allowance can be responsibly quantified from the evidence.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

Using the £150,000 base GDV, 75% refinance is £112,500. Against the £141,800 guide-plus-known-fee cost, indicative cash left in is £29,300 before works, finance, tax and other costs. The absence of rent and refurbishment evidence prevents a full BRRR assessment.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

BTL performance cannot be established because no sufficiently specific rental comparable or auctioneer rent estimate is provided. At the £140,000 guide, the known purchase cost including the £1,800 administration fee is £141,800 before any works, disbursements, finance, tax or other costs.

Flip Analysis

At the guide plus the known £1,800 administration fee, the base cost is £141,800. Against the £150,000 same-property sale evidence, the gross difference is £8,200 before selling costs, finance, tax, disbursements and any works. A reliable flip surplus cannot be calculated because no selling allowance or works budget is supported.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

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

• The physical condition and any required refurbishment costs are unknown.

• Disbursements may become payable on completion, but their amounts are not supplied.

• Leasehold service charges and other lease-related costs are not supplied.

• The apparent £8,200 difference between base GDV and guide-plus-known administration fee could be eliminated by works, selling costs, finance, tax or disbursements.

Recommendation

Proceed only with substantial caution and after reviewing the legal pack, leasehold costs and physical condition. The supplied evidence does not establish a compelling BTL or BRRR case, while the apparent flip margin at guide is very thin.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

A very recent same-property completed sale supports the base GDV, but rental evidence, condition, service-charge information, EPC, heating details, refurbishment costs and selling costs are unavailable.
