Over 1,160 sq ft arranged across four floors. Entrance hall, front living room, second reception room to the rear which could be used as a dining room, family room or fourth bedroom, lower ground floor fitted kitchen/diner, two basement storage rooms, two first-floor double bedrooms, modern family bathroom with three-piece suite, further single bedroom, and second-floor attic bedroom with Velux window and built-in storage.

Location

Conveniently located for local amenities, schools, transport links and Rotherham town centre. The surrounding area is predominantly made up of period residential housing dating from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The rear garden backs onto mature woodland.

Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The four recent same-road freehold terraced sales range from £120,000 to £135,000, with an indicative average of approximately £125,625. A base GDV estimate of £125,000 is supported, with a low scenario of £120,000 and high scenario of £135,000. No condition adjustment is possible because the evidence does not identify defects or required works. The guide range of £70,000–£100,000 is below the indicated comparable range, but the £3,600 auction administration charge and any special-condition costs must be considered.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Treat as a potential value-led purchase rather than a confirmed BTL or flip. Complete viewing, survey and legal review, confirm all auction charges and only bid at a level that preserves a margin against the supported £120,000–£135,000 comparable range.

Works Required

No specific refurbishment works are evidenced. Before bidding, verify the condition of the four-storey accommodation, basement storage areas, kitchen, bathroom, roof/attic space, windows, services and garden. Any allowance should follow inspection and legal review.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

The indicative base GDV is £125,000, giving a theoretical 75% refinance figure of £93,750. Total project cost cannot be calculated because refurbishment costs, purchase price, legal costs and other potential auction charges are not fully supported. BRRR viability therefore cannot be confirmed.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

BTL analysis cannot be established because no sufficiently specific rental comparable or auctioneer rent estimate is provided. The £3,600 administration charge is known, while other buyer, legal and special-condition costs may also apply.

Flip Analysis

The comparable evidence supports a broad resale value range of £120,000–£135,000, with a base of £125,000. A flip surplus cannot be calculated because the purchase price, works, selling costs and potential special-condition costs are not fully defined.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• No reliable rental evidence is provided, so rental yield cannot be established.

• The property's condition and any required refurbishment are not evidenced.

• Special Conditions of Sale may create additional search, legal, transfer or seller-cost liabilities.

• The guide is a range rather than a confirmed purchase price, and the final price may materially affect viability.

• Basement, attic and four-storey construction require appropriate inspection and legal review before bidding.

Recommendation

Treat as a potential value-led purchase rather than a confirmed BTL or flip. Complete viewing, survey and legal review, confirm all auction charges and only bid at a level that preserves a margin against the supported £120,000–£135,000 comparable range.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

Same-road sold comparables and the £3,600 administration charge are available, but condition, rent, refurbishment costs, full acquisition costs and occupancy details are not sufficiently evidenced.
