Strategy & Risks

Treat £850 pcm as a weak HB indicative rent based on an advertised asking rent for a different property type. Do not set a firm maximum bid without current comparable sales, condition information, occupancy confirmation and an investment return target.

• Rental evidence is limited to one advertised asking rent for a three-bedroom flat in a different DH9 postcode.
• Property condition and refurbishment requirements are not supplied.
• Occupancy status is not confirmed.
• The £2,400 auction administration fee reduces the effective investment return.
