Investment Analysis

Market Comparables

Use recent Land Registry sold evidence and genuinely comparable current/let rental evidence for the same micro-location, accommodation, tenure and condition. Venmore’s stated rents or rental opinions are retained as auctioneer evidence where supplied; HB screening figures are not a formal valuation.

Proposed Works

HB desktop allowance: £5,000. Scope should be confirmed from inspection, photographs, survey and contractor pricing. Prioritise structure, roof/damp, services, heating/electrics, windows, kitchens/bathrooms, decoration and external works only where relevant to this specific property.

Rental Value

Low / Base / High Investment Scenario

Specialist Commercial Analysis

Verify occupational leases, passing rents, rent-review provisions, repairing obligations, VAT status, business rates, service costs and covenant strength. Mixed-use assets should be valued by component and income where appropriate.

Maximum Bid Indicator

Base the maximum bid on verified commercial/residential income and capital value, less buyer fee, works, legal/professional, finance, holding, contingency and required return. SDLT treatment may differ for mixed-use/non-residential purchases and is buyer-specific.

Strategy Recommendation

Income hold or refurbishment/re-letting, with redevelopment only where planning and title support it.

Strategy Rating

Income Hold: ★★★★☆ | Value-Add: ★★★★☆ | Development: ★★★☆☆

Key Risks

Lease length, ground rent, service charge and lender acceptability, listed-building constraints, legal-pack special conditions, condition/survey, finance and valuation risk.

Analysis Confidence

Medium for facts reproduced from Venmore’s particulars; low-to-medium for HB desktop works/value screens until inspection, legal-pack review, direct sold/rental comparables and contractor/QS pricing are completed.
