Investment Analysis
The only supplied comparable is the same property’s £75,000 freehold sale in September 1997. This historic transaction is insufficient to establish a current market value or GDV, particularly for a property described as requiring refurbishment. The auction guide is not treated as a valuation.
Investment Snapshot
Guide Price |
£175,000 - £200,000 |
Strategy Recommendation
Do not bid without a full inspection, legal-pack review, current valuation evidence, rental evidence and a detailed refurbishment quotation.
Works Required
Refurbishment is required, but the evidence does not specify the defects, scope or specification. Further inspection and review of the legal pack are required before costing works.

Potential BRRR Position
A BRRR assessment cannot be quantified because current GDV, refurbishment cost, supported rent and finance assumptions are unavailable. The property’s refurbishment requirement creates execution and valuation risk.
Buy-to-Let Analysis
BTL analysis cannot be established because no sufficiently specific rental comparable or auctioneer rent estimate was supplied. Refurbishment costs, tenure details and total acquisition costs are also unconfirmed.
Flip Analysis
A flip surplus cannot be calculated. The only sale evidence is a 1997 transaction, while no current GDV, refurbishment budget or selling allowance is supported by the evidence.
Investor Risks & Due Diligence
• The property is stated to require refurbishment, but the scope and cost of works are unknown.
• No sufficiently specific rental evidence or passing rent is supplied.
• The only comparable is the same property’s 1997 sale, which is too historic to support a current valuation.
• Tenure, occupancy and lease information are not supplied.
• Buyer premium and administration charge both apply at 1.35% plus VAT, subject to stated minimums; additional legal-pack fees may also apply.
Recommendation
Do not bid without a full inspection, legal-pack review, current valuation evidence, rental evidence and a detailed refurbishment quotation.
