Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

Sold evidence ranges from £178,000 to £260,000, including £178,000 for 81A High Street in 2020 and £260,000 for 105A High Street in 2025. These are leasehold flat/maisonette comparables but their size and specification are not supplied; the subject is specifically a studio. A provisional £220,000 base GDV is used as an evidence-based midpoint, with low/high scenarios of £178,000/£260,000. This remains low-confidence because there is no direct studio comparable, floor area, condition or specification evidence.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Proceed only after confirming the guide, legal-pack charges, condition and achievable studio rent. Without that evidence, do not set a bid or commit to BTL, BRRR or flip economics.

Works Required

No condition defects or refurbishment requirements are evidenced. Allowance cannot be quantified; inspect the flat and review the legal pack before bidding. Known purchase-related cost evidence includes the £1,800 inc VAT administration charge, with possible additional disbursements and other legal, search or transfer charges.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

A BRRR assessment cannot be completed because there is no auction guide or purchase price and no supported refurbishment budget. The provisional 75% refinance figure on the £220,000 base GDV is £165,000. The approximately 167-year lease is supportive, subject to legal-pack review, but cash left in cannot be calculated.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

Rental evidence is limited to advertised asking rents of £700 and £1,250 pcm for one-bedroom flats; neither is confirmed as achieved rent or directly comparable to this studio. On the provisional £220,000 GDV, these imply approximately 3.8% to 6.8% gross before costs, but a reliable BTL yield cannot be established without a confirmed achievable rent and purchase price.

Flip Analysis

A flip surplus cannot be calculated because the purchase price, refurbishment cost and selling allowance are unavailable. The provisional resale/GDV range is £178,000 to £260,000, but the comparables are not fully like-for-like with the studio subject.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• No auction guide price is supplied, so maximum bid and total project cost cannot be calculated.

• Sold comparables are not confirmed as studios and their floor areas and specifications are unavailable.

• Rental evidence consists only of advertised asking rents and is not directly confirmed for this studio.

• Condition, EPC, heating, parking, council tax and service-charge information are absent.

• The £1,800 administration charge is known, but legal-pack disbursements and other possible charges are not quantified.

• The property is leasehold and the legal pack should confirm service charge, ground rent, restrictions and lease terms.

Recommendation

Proceed only after confirming the guide, legal-pack charges, condition and achievable studio rent. Without that evidence, do not set a bid or commit to BTL, BRRR or flip economics.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

There are several local sold comparables and limited rental evidence, but the subject is a studio while comparable sizes are unknown; guide price, condition, floor area, EPC, running costs, achievable rent and full purchase charges are unavailable.
