Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

Sold evidence on the same road ranges from £192,000 to £240,000, including £240,000 completed on 12 June 2026. A base GDV estimate of £205,000 uses the most recent evidence while recognising that the comparables' condition, size and specification are not supplied. The £192,000–£240,000 range is an evidence-supported market scenario, not a formal valuation. The property requires refurbishment and repairs, but no quantified works budget is provided.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Investigate as a refurbishment-led resale opportunity only after reviewing the legal pack, confirming the property's condition and obtaining a detailed contractor budget. Do not rely on BTL or BRRR returns until rent and total project costs are evidenced.

Works Required

Refurbishment and repairs to the seven-room house, including the accommodation, kitchen, bathroom and exterior as required. The evidence does not identify specific defects or provide a costed schedule.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

At the base GDV estimate, 75% refinance is £153,750. However, refurbishment costs, total project cost, rent and finance assumptions are unavailable, so cash left in and refinance viability cannot be calculated. The six-week completion requirement may require rapid funding and works planning.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

BTL performance cannot be established because no sufficiently specific rental comparable or auctioneer rent estimate is supplied. Refurbishment costs and the total project cost are also unknown.

Flip Analysis

The same-road sold evidence supports a base resale value of £205,000, with a supplied range of £192,000–£240,000. A flip surplus cannot be calculated because refurbishment, acquisition and any selling costs are not fully quantified; the £1,800 administration charge is known, but disbursements are unspecified.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• The property requires refurbishment and repairs, but the scope and cost are unknown.

• Sold comparables do not include supplied details of size, condition or specification, limiting GDV precision.

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

• Buyer disbursements may become payable and are not quantified.

• The six-week completion option may create funding and delivery pressure.

Recommendation

Investigate as a refurbishment-led resale opportunity only after reviewing the legal pack, confirming the property's condition and obtaining a detailed contractor budget. Do not rely on BTL or BRRR returns until rent and total project costs are evidenced.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

Same-road completed sales provide useful GDV evidence, but condition-adjusted comparability, refurbishment costs, rental evidence, EPC, council tax, parking, heating and potential disbursements are not supplied.
