Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The supplied completed sales are all for Budleigh Court, Brentwood, rather than the subject building, and no comparable sizes, condition, floor levels or service-charge information are provided. The latest supplied sale was £285,000 on 13 February 2026, with older sales of £305,000 and £325,000. These provide context only and do not support a reliable subject-specific GDV. The £230,000+ guide cannot be assessed against a sufficiently evidenced valuation.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Do not bid on the current evidence alone. Obtain an inspection, service-charge and lease information, legal pack review, specific rental comparables and a defensible valuation before considering BTL, BRRR or resale.

Works Required

No specific defects or condition issues are evidenced. Require inspection and legal review before budgeting any works; only confirmed works should be costed.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

A long lease of approximately 146 years and peppercorn ground rent are positive stated tenure features. However, GDV, refurbishment cost, rent, service charges, finance costs and additional purchase charges are not sufficiently evidenced, so refinance proceeds and cash left in cannot be calculated.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

The flat is vacant and has an allocated parking space, but no sufficiently specific rental evidence or auctioneer rent estimate is supplied. Rent, gross yield and maximum supportable purchase price cannot therefore be established.

Flip Analysis

A resale assessment cannot be reliably completed. The supplied Brentwood sales are not identified as sufficiently comparable to the subject flat, and no condition or selling-cost allowance is provided. Any apparent difference between the guide and historic sales should not be treated as a supported flip surplus.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• No sufficiently specific rental comparable or passing rent is supplied.

• The supplied sold comparables are for a different named development and lack size, condition and specification details.

• Property condition is not evidenced, so refurbishment costs are unknown.

• Service charges and other leasehold costs are not supplied.

• Buyer, administration and other third-party charges are unspecified.

• The guide is £230,000+ and the eventual purchase price is uncertain.

Recommendation

Do not bid on the current evidence alone. Obtain an inspection, service-charge and lease information, legal pack review, specific rental comparables and a defensible valuation before considering BTL, BRRR or resale.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

The evidence confirms tenure, approximate size, vacancy, accommodation and location, but omits condition, service charges, rental evidence, buyer/admin fees and sufficiently specific comparable sales.
