Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The £185,000 guide equates to approximately £578 per acre across the stated 320 acres, but no directly comparable land transactions, agricultural income evidence or formal valuation are supplied. The sold comparables are residential properties in Trefriw and are not reliable evidence of this land parcel’s value. Approximately 250 acres are subject to an Agricultural Holdings Act tenancy and circa 70 acres are vacant, making the legal and occupational position material. Auctioneer fees, VAT and seller charges are also unspecified. A GDV, supported market value range and maximum bid cannot therefore be established from the evidence provided.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Treat as a specialist land acquisition only, subject to legal-pack review, confirmation of the AHA tenancy terms, vacant-land position and all auctioneer and seller charges. Do not bid on residential BTL, BRRR or flip assumptions without further evidence.

Works Required

No refurbishment works are evidenced. Any expenditure would need to be assessed from the legal pack, tenancy documentation and the purchaser’s intended use of the land; no development or infrastructure costs are assumed.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

A BRRR strategy cannot be underwritten because there is no supported residential GDV, rental income, refurbishment budget or refinance valuation. The AHA tenancy affecting approximately 250 acres and the vacant balance require detailed legal-pack review before considering any operational or development strategy.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

Not suitable for conventional residential BTL analysis on the evidence supplied. There is no dwelling, no sufficiently specific rental comparable and no passing rent or auctioneer rent estimate. A rental yield cannot be established.

Flip Analysis

A flip appraisal is unsupported. The supplied sold comparables are detached or other residential properties and do not evidence the resale value of a 320-acre land parcel. No supported GDV, works budget, selling allowance or planning/development evidence is provided.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• Approximately 250 acres are subject to an Agricultural Holdings Act tenancy; the full terms and purchaser obligations require legal-pack review.

• Only circa 70 acres are stated to be vacant, so control and use of the wider parcel may be restricted.

• Auctioneer buyer fees, VAT and potential seller charges are unspecified and may increase the acquisition cost.

• The supplied sold comparables are residential properties and do not support a land valuation.

• No rental, agricultural income, planning, development or resale evidence is supplied.

Recommendation

Treat as a specialist land acquisition only, subject to legal-pack review, confirmation of the AHA tenancy terms, vacant-land position and all auctioneer and seller charges. Do not bid on residential BTL, BRRR or flip assumptions without further evidence.
