Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The £85,000 guide is the only supplied purchase/value evidence. No completed sales, GDV evidence, refurbishment quotations or formal valuation are provided, so market value and post-works value cannot be estimated reliably. The three rental listings are advertised asking rents only and range from £427 to £995 pcm, with no evidence confirming direct comparability or achievable rent. The stated buyer premium and admin charge total £3,600 inc VAT; disbursements and other special-condition costs are unknown.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Do not bid on financial assumptions alone. Obtain a viewing, full renovation quotations, legal review of the special conditions and stronger local sales and rental evidence before considering an owner-occupier, BTL or resale purchase.

Works Required

Renovation and redecoration to create a finished home, limited to works identified by inspection and supported by contractor quotations. The evidence does not specify particular defects, systems or required upgrades.

Rental & Market Context

Potential BRRR Position

BRRR cannot be underwritten from the evidence. No post-renovation GDV, refurbishment budget, valuation evidence or refinance terms are supplied. The known acquisition price plus buyer and admin charges would be £88,600 at the guide, before works and any disbursements, but the total project cost remains unknown.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

The supplied two-bedroom asking rents range from £427 to £995 pcm, but these are advertised rents rather than achieved rents and may not be directly comparable. A reliable BTL yield cannot be established because refurbishment cost, achievable rent, total project cost and other property costs are unsupported. The £3,600 buyer premium and admin charge should be included in any appraisal, alongside unknown disbursements.

Flip Analysis

A flip assessment is not supported because there are no completed comparables, GDV, refurbishment quotations, selling costs or holding costs. The property is described as needing renovation, but the scope and cost of works are unspecified.

Recommendation

Do not bid on financial assumptions alone. Obtain a viewing, full renovation quotations, legal review of the special conditions and stronger local sales and rental evidence before considering an owner-occupier, BTL or resale purchase.
