- Cornish Unit construction and cash-buyer restriction
- Auction purchase is legally binding; review the legal pack and all seller charges before bidding.
- Desktop GDV/rent/works assumptions require independent verification.
Analysis Confidence
Medium for source facts; low-to-medium for desktop investment estimates until survey, legal pack, contractor quotes and local agent appraisal are obtained.
