Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The same property reportedly sold for £230,000 on 31 July 2026. Other same-road sales range from £400,000 to £445,000, but their condition, size and specification are not supplied, so they cannot reliably establish GDV. £230,000 is used only as an indicative base market reference, not a formal valuation.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Proceed only after confirming refurbishment costs, legal-pack disbursements and the basis of the prior £230,000 sale. Do not rely on the higher same-road sales as GDV without comparable-condition evidence.

Works Required

Refurbishment is required, but the evidence does not identify the defects or scope. Obtain a survey, legal-pack review and detailed contractor quotations before bidding.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

At the £175,000 guide, the known acquisition cost includes the £1,800 administration charge, plus unknown refurbishment, disbursements and other fees. A 75% refinance against the indicative £230,000 base GDV would be £172,500, but cash left in cannot be calculated without works and total-cost evidence.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

Rental evidence is insufficient: no specific rental comparables or auctioneer rent estimate are provided. Rental income and yield cannot therefore be established.

Flip Analysis

The indicative £230,000 base market reference is only £55,000 above the guide before the £1,800 administration charge, refurbishment, disbursements, finance and selling costs. A reliable flip surplus cannot be calculated.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• Unknown refurbishment scope and cost.

• No reliable rental evidence, preventing yield assessment.

• Legal-pack disbursements may be payable on completion.

• Higher same-road sales may not be comparable in size, condition or specification.

• The £230,000 reference is a completed sale but is not a formal valuation of the current condition.

Recommendation

Proceed only after confirming refurbishment costs, legal-pack disbursements and the basis of the prior £230,000 sale. Do not rely on the higher same-road sales as GDV without comparable-condition evidence.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

The exact property sale and guide are supplied, but refurbishment scope, rental evidence, legal disbursements and comparability of the higher sales are unavailable.
