Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

Same-road completed sales range from £439,999 to £540,000. The two most recent sales were £450,000 in December 2024 and £540,000 in August 2025, but the evidence does not confirm their condition, size, specification or direct comparability with Newtonia. An indicative HB GDV range of £450,000–£540,000 is therefore used, with £495,000 as the base scenario; this is not a formal valuation.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Investigate as a refurbishment-led resale only after reviewing the legal pack and obtaining a detailed survey and works quotation. Do not set a supported maximum bid until those costs and any disbursements are known.

Works Required

A refurbishment programme is required, and the current EPC rating is G. The scope and cost of works are not evidenced. A survey and legal-pack review are required before specifying works beyond general refurbishment.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

The guide is £140,000 plus the known £1,800 administration charge, but refurbishment costs and rent are unavailable. A 75% refinance against the indicative £495,000 base GDV would be £371,250, but cash left in cannot be calculated without total project cost and finance assumptions.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

BTL viability cannot be established because no sufficiently specific rental evidence or auctioneer rent estimate is supplied. Refurbishment costs, EPC improvement requirements and operating costs are also unknown.

Flip Analysis

The same-road sales support an indicative base GDV of £495,000, with a £450,000–£540,000 range. A flip surplus cannot be calculated because refurbishment, acquisition and selling costs are not fully evidenced. The apparent guide-to-GDV difference should not be relied upon until condition and comparability are verified.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• The property requires a programme of refurbishment, but no quantified scope or cost is supplied.

• The EPC rating is G, with no evidence of the measures or cost required to improve it.

• No sufficiently specific rental comparable or auctioneer rent estimate is available.

• The completed sales differ in date and may differ in condition, size or specification; those details are not supplied.

• Additional legal-pack disbursements may become payable on completion.

• Buyer premium and other acquisition or selling costs are not supplied, preventing a complete project appraisal.

Recommendation

Investigate as a refurbishment-led resale only after reviewing the legal pack and obtaining a detailed survey and works quotation. Do not set a supported maximum bid until those costs and any disbursements are known.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

There are several relevant completed sales on the same road, but condition and comparability are unverified, while refurbishment costs, rent, council tax, heating details and potential legal-pack disbursements are incomplete.
