Investment Analysis

HB estimates only: A provisional GDV of £136,000 is based solely on the latest same-terrace sale supplied. This is not a formal valuation or guaranteed resale value. No HB refurbishment estimate, rental estimate, gross yield estimate or maximum bid has been provided.

The £2,400 auction administration fee should be included in acquisition costs. Without reliable refurbishment and rental evidence, no defensible HB maximum bid can be calculated.

Sold Comparables

HM Land Registry sold data as supplied:

The supplied sold evidence ranges from £63,500 to £136,000. The variation indicates that condition, specification and/or other property differences may be material, but no condition details are supplied for this property.

Rental Evidence

No advertised rental evidence or auctioneer estimated rent has been supplied. No rental yield analysis is therefore available. Any asking or estimated rent should not be treated as achieved or passing rent.

Strategy & Risks

Proceed only after confirming the property’s condition, occupancy, legal pack and total purchase costs. Treat the HB estimate of £136,000 as a provisional upper market indicator rather than a guaranteed resale value.
