Strategy & Risks

HB estimate: bid cautiously only if the property's condition and lease terms support the evidence-based £30,000 value. The £27,600 HB maximum bid is below the £39,950 guide and excludes unknown acquisition and refurbishment costs.

• The guide price exceeds the latest same-street comparable by £9,950.
• Lease length, ground rent, service charge and other lease liabilities are unknown and require due diligence.
• Property condition is not evidenced, so refurbishment costs cannot be estimated.
• The £475 pcm figure is an advertised asking rent rather than achieved or passing rent.
• Buyer premium and other acquisition costs were not supplied.
