Investment Analysis

HB estimate: the estimated GDV is £58,000, based primarily on the median comparable sale. Five completed sales on Surtees Street range from £39,995 to £65,000, with an average of £55,599 and a median of £58,000. The £60,000+ guide is broadly consistent with the stronger nearby evidence, although condition and specification differences are unknown.

Rental Evidence

Strategy & Risks

HB estimate: treat this as a residential purchase or resale opportunity only after confirming condition, vacant or tenanted status and any legal or physical issues. As the guide is already around the comparable median and the known £2,400 buyer fee reduces the effective acquisition budget, bid cautiously and only after completing due diligence.

• Property condition and refurbishment requirements are unknown.
