Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

Recent completed sales in Highcroft Hall range from £100,000 to £150,000: £100,000 and £105,000 in the older evidence, followed by £125,000 and £150,000 sales in March–June 2026. A base GDV of £125,000 is supported by the most recent £125,000 comparable, with £105,000–£150,000 used as an evidence-based scenario range. The comparables do not provide matching apartment size, floor, condition or specification, so the valuation remains indicative.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Proceed only after reviewing the legal pack, inspecting the apartment and confirming leasehold charges and achievable rent. The low guide relative to recent Highcroft Hall sales is potentially attractive, but the evidence is insufficient to approve a flip or BRRR strategy and the supplied rent produces only a modest headline yield.

Works Required

Internal inspection is required before specifying works. The description supports allowing for general cosmetic updating to enable the purchaser to put their stamp on the apartment, but no specific defects, fixtures, fittings or refurbishment scope are evidenced. No refurbishment allowance is therefore included.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

At the £85,000 guide, the known buyer premium and admin charge add £3,720 before any disbursements or works. A 75% refinance of the £125,000 base GDV indicates £93,750 gross borrowing, but total project cost and cash left in cannot be calculated because refurbishment costs, leasehold costs and other completion charges are not evidenced. BRRR viability is therefore unconfirmed.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

The only rental evidence is an advertised asking rent of £300 pcm for a two-bedroom property in Kings Road, Birmingham, B23. At the £85,000 guide, this equates to £3,600 annual rent and a gross yield of approximately 4.24%, before finance, service charge, management, maintenance, voids and other costs. Achieved rent, service charges and letting costs are not supplied, so net return cannot be established.

Flip Analysis

The evidence supports a base resale/GDV assumption of £125,000, with £105,000–£150,000 as a comparable-based range. A flip surplus cannot be calculated because no refurbishment budget, selling costs, finance costs or full completion costs are supplied. The apparent difference between the guide and GDV should not be treated as profit.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• The apartment’s condition and any required works are not evidenced; internal inspection is recommended.

• Service charge, ground rent and other leasehold running costs are not supplied.

• Additional disbursements and seller-related legal, search or transfer costs may be payable under the legal pack.

• The £300 pcm figure is an advertised asking rent, not an achieved or passing rent, and may not represent achievable market rent for this apartment.

• Comparable sales vary from £100,000 to £150,000 and do not include matching size, floor, condition or specification details.

• No EPC, heating, parking or other operational information is supplied.

• Finance, selling costs and taxation are not included in the analysis.

Recommendation

Proceed only after reviewing the legal pack, inspecting the apartment and confirming leasehold charges and achievable rent. The low guide relative to recent Highcroft Hall sales is potentially attractive, but the evidence is insufficient to approve a flip or BRRR strategy and the supplied rent produces only a modest headline yield.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

There are five same-development completed sales and one advertised rent, but no inspection findings, EPC, service charge, ground rent, lease restrictions, detailed legal-pack costs, refurbishment budget or achieved rental evidence.
