Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The £25,000+ guide is not supported by a directly comparable sale in the supplied evidence. The three sold comparables are semi-detached houses on Love Lane, not garages or development units, and therefore cannot establish the unit's market value or development GDV. Potential development is expressly subject to obtaining all relevant consents, for which no planning evidence, floor area, access detail or consent status is supplied. The known acquisition figure at guide is £25,000 plus the £1,800 inc VAT administration charge, with potentially additional disbursements and special-condition costs.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Proceed only as a planning-led opportunity after reviewing the legal pack, title, access and planning position. Do not rely on the supplied house comparables or bid on an assumed residential GDV.

Works Required

No specific refurbishment works can be costed from the evidence. Any conversion or redevelopment would be subject to obtaining all relevant consents; the legal pack and planning position require review before works are defined.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

A BRRR strategy cannot be underwritten from the supplied evidence. There is no supported GDV, refurbishment budget, rental evidence, planning consent or confirmed refinance basis. The £25,000 guide plus the known £1,800 administration charge excludes potentially payable disbursements and other special-condition costs.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

BTL analysis cannot be established because no sufficiently specific rental comparable or auctioneer rent estimate is supplied. The property is described as two garages and WC's rather than a confirmed residential dwelling, so residential letting assumptions would be unsupported.

Flip Analysis

A flip appraisal cannot be established. The supplied sold comparables are semi-detached houses and do not evidence the resale value of this vacant garage and WC unit. Development potential remains conditional on obtaining relevant consents, and no works budget or selling allowance is supported.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• Potential development is subject to obtaining all relevant consents.

• The supplied sold comparables are semi-detached houses and are not directly comparable to the garage and WC unit.

• No rental evidence supports a BTL valuation or yield.

• Additional disbursements, search fees, sellers' costs, legal fees or transfer fees may be payable under the legal pack or special conditions.

• No refurbishment or conversion cost can be established from the supplied description.

Recommendation

Proceed only as a planning-led opportunity after reviewing the legal pack, title, access and planning position. Do not rely on the supplied house comparables or bid on an assumed residential GDV.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

Evidence confirms the existing use, vacancy, tenure, guide and administration charge, but provides no relevant value comparable, planning evidence, floor area, works budget, rental evidence or complete cost schedule.
