Strategy & Risks

• HB estimates use an indicative GDV of £85,000 and an estimated rent of £825 pcm.
• Treat £82,600 as an indicative HB maximum bid only; do not exceed it without confirming condition, lease terms, service charges, other auction costs and achievable rent.
• Completed sales evidence is widely dispersed, from £63,000 to £129,950.
• The two most recent supplied comparables sold below the £85,000 guide price.
• Occupancy status, condition, service charges and ground rent were not supplied.
• Only the £2,400 auction administration fee is known; other acquisition and ownership costs may apply.
