Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The latest supplied completed sale is £160,000 for 41A Jenner Way in July 2025, with earlier sales at £146,000 in 2021 and £132,500 in 2018. These are nearby same-street leasehold flat comparables but not the subject property, and no size, condition or specification details are supplied for them. £160,000 is therefore used only as an indicative base GDV proxy, with £146,000 as a lower evidence reference; modernisation requirements and disconnected services may affect the subject's achievable value.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Proceed only after reviewing the legal pack, confirming lease terms and parking, inspecting the disconnected services and obtaining a full refurbishment quotation. Do not bid on yield or flip margin without verified rent and project costs.

Works Required

Modernisation of the flat is required, but the evidence does not specify the extent or cost of works. Services are disconnected, and the heating system is not warranted, so inspection and contractor quotations are required before bidding.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

Using the £160,000 nearby completed sale only as an indicative base GDV gives a theoretical 75% refinance value of £120,000. Total acquisition and refurbishment cost cannot be calculated because no works allowance or additional seller fees are supplied. Lease information also remains outstanding.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

No sufficiently specific rental comparable or auctioneer rent estimate is supplied, so rent and yield cannot be established. The disconnected services and unspecified modernisation costs further prevent reliable BTL underwriting.

Flip Analysis

A flip assessment cannot be reliably completed. The latest nearby sale provides an indicative £160,000 value reference, but refurbishment cost, selling costs and the subject's post-works condition are unsupported.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• Lease information is otherwise awaited, including potentially material lease terms and obligations.

• Services are disconnected, with no warranty or guarantee on the heating system.

• The flat requires modernisation, but no refurbishment scope or cost is supplied.

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

• The seller may charge additional completion fees under the Special Conditions of Sale.

• The supplied comparable sales relate to 41A Jenner Way rather than the subject flat at 43 Jenner Way.

Recommendation

Proceed only after reviewing the legal pack, confirming lease terms and parking, inspecting the disconnected services and obtaining a full refurbishment quotation. Do not bid on yield or flip margin without verified rent and project costs.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

There is useful completed-sale evidence and a clear property description, but the comparables are for a different flat, while rent, lease details, works costs, seller fees and service condition remain unsupported.
