Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The most relevant evidence is Delamere on the same road and postcode, a freehold semi-detached sale at £240,000 in May 2026. Detached sales on the same road range from £330,000 to £500,000, but their accommodation, plot sizes and condition are not supplied. The £240,000 base GDV is therefore only a cautious evidence-led estimate, with £330,000 representing an unsupported upper scenario based on the nearest higher same-road evidence. The subject's improvement requirement, chalet-style layout and 0.27-acre plot require inspection and legal-pack review before relying on these figures.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Proceed only as a cautious refurbishment/flip opportunity if inspection, legal-pack review and a priced works schedule support the £240,000 base GDV. Do not bid above the guide without quantifying the buyer premium, works, selling and finance costs. BTL is not assessable on the supplied evidence.

Works Required

The property is described as a blank canvas and residential for improvement, but no specific defects or scope are evidenced. Allowance should be made only after inspection for general updating and any required repairs, subject to survey, services checks and the legal pack. No reliable works budget can be calculated from the supplied evidence.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

At the £160,000 guide, the known purchase price plus admin charge is £163,600 before the unknown buyer premium, refurbishment and other costs. A 75% refinance against the cautious £240,000 base GDV is £180,000, but cash left in cannot be calculated because refurbishment and other acquisition costs are unsupported. Refinancing is therefore not underwritten.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

BTL cannot be assessed reliably because no sufficiently specific rental comparable or auctioneer rent estimate is supplied. The known acquisition outlay at the £160,000 guide is £163,600 before any buyer premium, disbursements, refurbishment, finance, tax or other costs. The £3,600 admin charge is included; additional buyer premium fees remain unknown.

Flip Analysis

A £240,000 base GDV compared with the £160,000 guide indicates apparent headroom before refurbishment, buyer premium, selling costs, finance, tax and disbursements. However, the works scope and selling allowance are unknown, while the comparable evidence is not sufficiently detailed to confirm the achievable resale value. No reliable flip surplus or maximum bid can be calculated.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• Refurbishment scope and cost are not evidenced.

• The buyer premium is additional and unspecified.

• Disbursements and other legal or completion costs may be payable but are not quantified.

• No reliable rental evidence is available.

• Comparable properties differ in type and may differ materially in accommodation, condition and plot.

• The property is described as a blank canvas and requires inspection before valuation reliance.

Recommendation

Proceed only as a cautious refurbishment/flip opportunity if inspection, legal-pack review and a priced works schedule support the £240,000 base GDV. Do not bid above the guide without quantifying the buyer premium, works, selling and finance costs. BTL is not assessable on the supplied evidence.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

There is useful same-road completed-sale evidence and a stated guide price, but the comparables lack accommodation and condition details, while rent, refurbishment scope, buyer premium, disbursements and selling costs are unknown.
