Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The supplied completed sales on Brighton Road range from £285,000 to £510,000. The most directly relevant evidence is 95 Brighton Road, which sold for £285,000 in January 2025, while other nearby terraced sales were £390,000, £415,000 and £510,000. The subject requires modernisation, but its floor area, bedroom count, parking, internal condition and specification are not supplied. A provisional base GDV of £350,000 is therefore used as a broad evidence-led estimate, with substantial uncertainty. The £225,000 guide is not a valuation.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Consider only as a survey-led refurbishment and resale opportunity, subject to confirming condition, accommodation, project costs and special-condition fees. Do not rely on BTL or BRRR returns until rent and full costs are evidenced.

Works Required

Survey-led modernisation of the two-floor accommodation. The precise scope and cost cannot be established from the evidence; no specific defects, services condition or required kitchen/bathroom works are confirmed.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

Using the provisional £350,000 base GDV, 75% refinance is £262,500. However, refurbishment cost, total acquisition cost, finance costs and lender valuation assumptions are unavailable, so cash left in and BRRR viability cannot be calculated reliably.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

BTL analysis cannot be established because no sufficiently specific rental evidence or auctioneer rent estimate is supplied. The modernisation requirement and unknown total project cost further prevent a reliable yield calculation.

Flip Analysis

A refurbishment-led resale may have potential because the guide is below the supplied local completed sales, but the scope and cost of modernisation are unknown. The provisional £350,000 GDV is not sufficient to calculate a reliable surplus without works, selling and other project costs.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• The property is stated to require modernisation, but the extent and cost of works are unknown.

• Comparable sale prices vary materially from £285,000 to £510,000 and property sizes/specifications are not supplied.

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

• The number of bedrooms, parking provision, heating and internal specification are not supplied.

• The seller may charge additional completion fees under the special conditions.

Recommendation

Consider only as a survey-led refurbishment and resale opportunity, subject to confirming condition, accommodation, project costs and special-condition fees. Do not rely on BTL or BRRR returns until rent and full costs are evidenced.

Analysis Confidence
