Crossways Lane, Thornbury, BS35 3UE

Description

Rental appraisal states that the property presents a potential investment opportunity for professional sharers or the student rental market in Bristol, with properties in the location also tending to perform well with families.

Location

Thornbury is a thriving market town surrounded by open countryside, north of Bristol and the M4/M5 interchange, with commuting links via the motorway network and Bristol Parkway Station. The town has a part-pedestrianised historic High Street, shops, cafes, pubs, restaurants, leisure facilities, schools, parks and sports grounds.

Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The supplied completed sales are detached freehold properties on the same road, ranging from £583,000 to £920,000, but the subject property's type, accommodation, tenure, size and condition are not provided. They therefore do not support a reliable subject-specific GDV or market value estimate. The auctioneer rent estimate is £1,600–£1,750 pcm, but no sufficiently specific external rental comparable was identified.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Do not bid on the current evidence. First verify the property's accommodation, type, tenure, legal title, condition, guide price and planning position; then reassess BTL, BRRR or resale viability.

Works Required

No condition or specification evidence has been supplied, so no refurbishment works or cost allowance can be supported. Obtain the legal pack, floorplan, full particulars and inspection evidence before estimating works.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

A BRRR assessment cannot be completed because there is no guide price, supported GDV, refurbishment budget, property specification or finance-cost information. The 75% GDV refinance figure and indicative cash left in are therefore unsupported.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

The auctioneer estimates rent at £1,600–£1,750 pcm, equivalent to £19,200–£21,000 annually, but this is an estimate rather than passing rent or achieved comparable evidence. Without a purchase price, property size, accommodation and tenure, gross yield, affordability and suitability for professional sharers, students or families cannot be established.

Flip Analysis

A flip appraisal cannot be completed. Although same-road completed sales range from £583,000 to £920,000, the comparables are detached freehold properties and the subject's type, size, condition and tenure are unknown. No supported GDV, works allowance or resale surplus can be calculated.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• No guide price or purchase figure is supplied, preventing yield, total-cost and maximum-bid calculations.

• The subject property's type, size, accommodation, tenure and condition are unspecified.

• The £1,600–£1,750 pcm rent is an auctioneer estimate with no sufficiently specific external rental comparable or achieved-rent evidence.

• The supplied comparables are detached freehold properties and may not be comparable to the subject.

• A buyer premium of £1,800 including VAT is payable on exchange, with no other fee information supplied.

• Potential professional-sharer or student use is described as an opportunity, not confirmed permitted use or demand.‌

Recommendation

Do not bid on the current evidence. First verify the property's accommodation, type, tenure, legal title, condition, guide price and planning position; then reassess BTL, BRRR or resale viability.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

The evidence includes location, vacancy, an auctioneer rent estimate, a known buyer premium and same-road completed sales, but omits the guide price, property type, accommodation, tenure, condition, size and legal particulars.
