Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

Five completed sales on Ascot Close range from £180,000 to £225,000, with an average of £209,400. The most recent sale was £220,000 on 17 July 2026. These provide useful same-street evidence, but the subject property's condition and specification relative to the comparables are not supplied. A base GDV of £209,400 is therefore an estimate rather than a formal valuation.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Proceed only subject to inspection and full legal-pack review. The guide price is materially below the same-street sales evidence, but the missing condition, works, rent and additional-cost information prevents a reliable maximum bid or confirmed investment strategy.

Works Required

No specific defects or required works are evidenced. Inspect the property and legal pack before budgeting; only general cleaning, repair or refurbishment can be assessed after inspection.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

At the £49,000+ guide, the known purchase price plus £2,700 administration charge is £51,700 before works, taxes and other costs. A 75% refinance against the estimated £209,400 base GDV would be £157,050, but total project cost and cash left in cannot be calculated without a supported works budget and the remaining acquisition costs.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

BTL analysis cannot be established because no sufficiently specific rental comparable or auctioneer rent estimate is provided. The property is vacant, and the known £2,700 administration charge would need to be included alongside the purchase price, works and any other applicable costs.

Flip Analysis

Same-street completed sales support a broad GDV range of £180,000 to £225,000 and a base estimate of £209,400. A reliable flip surplus cannot be calculated because refurbishment costs, selling costs and applicable completion costs are not supplied.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• Property condition and required refurbishment works are not evidenced.

• No sufficiently specific rental evidence is available, so BTL income and yield cannot be assessed.

• The EPC is only referenced as being in the legal pack and has not been supplied.

• Additional completion costs may be listed in the Special Conditions and are currently unknown.

• The known £2,700 administration charge is payable at the fall of the gavel or end of the online auction.

• Comparable sales may differ from the subject property in condition and specification.

Recommendation

Proceed only subject to inspection and full legal-pack review. The guide price is materially below the same-street sales evidence, but the missing condition, works, rent and additional-cost information prevents a reliable maximum bid or confirmed investment strategy.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

There is strong same-street completed-sale evidence and a stated guide price, but no condition assessment, EPC detail, rental evidence, works budget or full legal-pack costs.
