Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The £230,000–£250,000 guide is auction guidance, not a formal valuation. The only supplied comparable sales are this same property at £249,950 in 2008 and £71,000 in 1996, which are too dated to support a current GDV. Current market value therefore cannot be reliably established from the evidence.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Treat as a potential owner-occupier purchase rather than an investment project, subject to independent valuation, survey and legal-pack review.

Works Required

No specific defects or refurbishment works are evidenced; the property is described as being in good order throughout. Allow for inspection and legal-pack review only.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

BRRR analysis cannot be supported without a current GDV, rental evidence and refurbishment budget. The known buyer premium and admin charge total £2,700, excluding any legal-pack disbursements.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

BTL viability cannot be established because no sufficiently specific rental evidence or auctioneer rent estimate is supplied.

Flip Analysis

A flip surplus cannot be calculated because there is no current supported GDV, refurbishment allowance or selling-cost allowance. The historical 2008 sale is not sufficient evidence for a current resale value.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• Current market value is not supported by the dated comparable sales.

• No rental evidence is available, preventing reliable yield analysis.

• Buyer premium and admin charge total £2,700, with possible additional legal-pack disbursements.

• No detailed condition survey or refurbishment budget is supplied.

• EPC rating is D.

Recommendation

Treat as a potential owner-occupier purchase rather than an investment project, subject to independent valuation, survey and legal-pack review.
