Flat 7, Sunning House, London Road, Sunningdale, Ascot

Description

A self-contained first floor flat within an attractive detached two-storey period building designed in the style of a Spanish villa. The property has three double bedrooms and two bathrooms, including one en suite. The reception room has high ceilings, ornate ceiling detailing, large south-facing windows and a feature fireplace. The kitchen, bathrooms and internal finishes would benefit from modernisation. Access is through a communal entrance and staircase; there is no lift.

Accommodation

First Floor: Entrance Hall, Reception Room, Three Double Bedrooms, Kitchen, Bathroom and En Suite Bathroom. Approximate internal floor area: 162 sq m (1,743 sq ft).

Location

Sunning House is situated to the south of the A30 London Road within a mature landscaped setting adjoining the fairways of Sunningdale Heath Golf Course. Sunningdale railway station is approximately 0.8 miles away. The property is approached over a tree-lined private gated driveway from London Road and occupies a secluded setting within extensive landscaped communal grounds.

Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The supplied completed sales for Sunning House range from £340,000 to £965,000, with a further sale at £675,000 in September 2025. However, no comparable sale details such as size, bedroom count, lease length, condition or specific flat identity are supplied. The subject has approximately seven years remaining on its lease to March 2034, which materially limits comparability and may affect value, mortgageability and resale. A reliable GDV cannot be established without lease-extension information, subject-specific valuation evidence and clarification of the comparable properties.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Do not proceed on the guide price without specialist advice on the lease expiry, lease-extension economics, mortgageability and a subject-specific valuation. The property should only be reconsidered after those costs and risks are evidenced.

Works Required

Modernisation of the kitchen, bathrooms and internal finishes, as identified in the description. No allowance is made for unspecified defects or improvements.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

A BRRR assessment is not supportable from the evidence. The lease has approximately seven years remaining, while no lease-extension premium, refurbishment cost, finance cost, rental income or refinance valuation is supplied. The available sales range is too broad and lacks sufficient subject-specific detail.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

No sufficiently specific rental evidence or auctioneer rent estimate is supplied, so rent and gross yield cannot be established. The short lease to March 2034 is a significant BTL concern because its effect on financeability, tenant demand and resale has not been quantified.

Flip Analysis

A flip appraisal cannot be completed reliably. Although same-building sales range from £340,000 to £965,000, the differences in flat size, condition, lease length and identity are unknown. Refurbishment costs, selling costs and a lease-extension cost are also unavailable.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• Approximately seven years remain on the lease, expiring in March 2034.

• The financial and legal implications of extending the lease are not supplied.

• No sufficiently specific rental evidence or auctioneer rent estimate is available.

• Kitchen, bathrooms and internal finishes require modernisation, but no refurbishment cost is provided.

• Same-building sold comparables vary widely and lack size, condition and lease-detail context.

• No buyer premium, administration charge or other auction costs are supplied.

Recommendation

Do not proceed on the guide price without specialist advice on the lease expiry, lease-extension economics, mortgageability and a subject-specific valuation. The property should only be reconsidered after those costs and risks are evidenced.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

The evidence confirms the accommodation, condition issues and short lease, but provides no rent, refurbishment budget, lease-extension cost, buyer fees or sufficiently detailed comparable information.
