Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The £212,000 and £219,450 sales in Treffynnon are semi-detached and detached properties and are not sufficiently comparable to this one-bedroom bungalow. The other sales are described only as “Other” or detached and provide no reliable size, condition or accommodation match. A supported GDV cannot therefore be established from the supplied evidence. The £55,000 guide is not a valuation and excludes the buyer’s fee.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Do not bid on investment assumptions without a viewing, a priced schedule of modernisation, local valuation evidence and confirmed auction charges. Consider only after establishing an owner-occupier or resale value case.

Works Required

Inspect and price the unspecified modernisation required. Allow for updating the open-plan kitchen/reception area, bedroom and shower room only where inspection confirms the need. Review the EPC E rating and assess whether improvement works are practical. The supplied evidence does not support a quantified works allowance.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

A BRRR assessment cannot be supported without a reliable post-works value, refurbishment budget, achievable rent and full acquisition costs. The property is freehold and vacant, but its EPC E rating and unspecified modernisation requirement require further investigation before considering refinance.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

BTL returns cannot be established because no sufficiently specific rental comparable or auctioneer rent estimate is supplied. Buyer fees, VAT position and the refurbishment cost are also unquantified. The property is vacant, but no passing rent exists.

Flip Analysis

A flip surplus cannot be calculated. The available sold comparables are materially different property types and provide no sufficiently reliable resale benchmark for this one-bedroom bungalow. Modernisation scope, costs, selling allowance and VAT or seller charges are also unknown.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• The property is described as needing modernisation, but the scope and cost are unknown.

• EPC rating E may require review of potential improvement works.

• The available sold comparables are not sufficiently like-for-like in type, size or accommodation.

• No sufficiently specific rental evidence is available.

• The buyer fee is excluded from the guide price and VAT or other seller charges may apply.

• The property is vacant, so there is no established passing income.

Recommendation

Do not bid on investment assumptions without a viewing, a priced schedule of modernisation, local valuation evidence and confirmed auction charges. Consider only after establishing an owner-occupier or resale value case.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

The evidence confirms the basic accommodation, tenure, vacancy and guide price, but lacks a reliable like-for-like valuation, rental evidence, refurbishment cost, council tax, parking, heating and complete fee information.
