Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The supplied Land Registry evidence shows five leasehold flat sales at Ovaltine Court ranging from £210,000 to £385,000. The two most recent sales were £282,500 on 29 June 2026 and £375,000 on 2 January 2026. As no bedroom count, size, condition or specific flat details are supplied for the comparables, the valuation range is indicative only. A base GDV of £282,500 uses the latest recorded sale in the same development; £270,000 and £375,000 are adopted as low and high evidence-supported scenarios.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Proceed only subject to legal-pack, lease, service-charge and condition due diligence. Do not bid on a BTL or flip basis until rent, costs and the required works are evidenced; the latest same-development sale provides limited support above the guide.

Works Required

No specific refurbishment works or defects are identified in the supplied evidence. Allow for inspection and confirmation of the flat's decorative, kitchen, bathroom and services condition before bidding, but no works budget is quantified.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

At the base GDV, 75% refinance proceeds would be approximately £211,875. Cash left in cannot be calculated because the purchase price, refurbishment cost and other completion costs are not yet established beyond the £240,000 guide and £1,800 administration charge. Lease terms and lender criteria should also be verified.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

BTL yield cannot be established because no sufficiently specific rental comparable or auctioneer rent estimate is provided. The flat is vacant, and the £1,800 buyer administration charge is known, but other purchaser costs and any refurbishment requirement are not quantified.

Flip Analysis

A resale surplus cannot be calculated reliably because refurbishment costs, selling costs and the eventual purchase price are unsupported. The evidence indicates a wide range of same-development sales, so the £282,500 base GDV should not be treated as a formal valuation.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• Wide range in supplied same-development sale prices, from £210,000 to £385,000, with no comparable property attributes provided.

• No sufficiently specific rental evidence, so rental income and yield cannot be established.

• Refurbishment condition and costs are not supplied.

• Buyer administration charge of £1,800 is payable, with possible additional legal-pack disbursements, search fees, seller costs, legal fees or transfer fees.

• Leasehold service charge, ground rent and remaining lease obligations are not supplied.

• The property is vacant, so there is no evidenced passing rent.

Recommendation

Proceed only subject to legal-pack, lease, service-charge and condition due diligence. Do not bid on a BTL or flip basis until rent, costs and the required works are evidenced; the latest same-development sale provides limited support above the guide.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

There are several same-development completed sales and a clear lease description, but comparable attributes, rent, condition, service charges, disbursements, selling costs and refurbishment requirements are not supplied.
