Tenure / Property Information
Tenure |
Freehold |
Lease |
The property is freehold. Prospective bidders should satisfy themselves of the terms of the tenure, ground rent and service charge if applicable by inspecting the legal pack. |
Services |
Prospective purchasers are advised to make their own enquiries of the relevant statutory authorities regarding the availability of services. Services, apparatus and equipment have not been tested by Auction House and cannot be verified as being in working order. |
Investment Analysis
This is a freehold land parcel with no stated area, planning permission, permitted use or development consent. The supplied terraced-house sales are not directly comparable and do not establish land value or GDV. The £1,000 guide is therefore not evidence of market value.

Strategy Recommendation
Only consider as a planning-led land opportunity after reviewing the legal pack, title, boundaries, access, services and planning prospects. Do not rely on the guide price as value evidence.
Works Required
No physical works can be specified from the evidence. Any use or development would require investigation and the necessary consents.

Potential BRRR Position
BRRR is not supported because no GDV, rental value, planning consent or refurbishment budget is evidenced. At the £1,000 guide, the stated buyer premium and admin charge add £3,000 before any disbursements or other costs.
Buy-to-Let Analysis
BTL analysis is not supported: there is no accommodation description, rental evidence or stated permitted residential use.
Flip Analysis
A flip appraisal cannot be established without planning status, site dimensions, permitted scheme, build costs, GDV and selling-cost evidence. The supplied house comparables are not suitable for valuing this land parcel.
Investor Risks & Due Diligence
• Potential uses and development are subject to necessary consents.
• No site area, boundaries, access, services or planning status is supplied.
• The residential sold comparables do not establish land value.
• Disbursements and other legal, search, seller-cost and transfer charges may be payable.
• No rental evidence or income-producing use is established.
Recommendation
Only consider as a planning-led land opportunity after reviewing the legal pack, title, boundaries, access, services and planning prospects. Do not rely on the guide price as value evidence.
