Investment Analysis

HB estimates: Evidence is limited. Four recorded sales on Mortimer Road range from £69,000 to £229,950, with dates from 2016 to 2024. The £69,000 sale is materially below the other higher sales, and no comparable floor areas, specifications or condition details are supplied.

HB estimates: The £175,000+ guide price sits below the £229,950 2022 sale but above the £144,000 and £155,000 historical sales. A reliable GDV or refurbishment-adjusted value cannot be established from the evidence provided.

HB estimates: The £2,400 auction administration fee means a £175,000 bid would cost at least £177,400 before any other costs. No rental or yield estimates are available.

Strategy & Risks

HB estimates: Treat the guide as an entry point only, not evidence of value. Obtain a full inspection and rental appraisal before bidding. With no rental or condition evidence, set no HB maximum bid; do not exceed a separately validated valuation after allowing for the £2,400 administration fee.

• Limited comparable evidence, with a wide sale-price range.
• No floor areas, internal specification or condition information supplied.
• No rental comparables or passing-rent evidence, so yield cannot be calculated.
• Vacant possession creates potential reletting and income-delay risk.
• The £2,400 administration fee is payable in addition to the purchase bid.
