Case Study 01 Co-sourced refurbishment opportunity
A completed refurbishment opportunity

Asking price
£80,000
Purchase agreed
£72,000
Negotiated below asking
£8,000
Refurbishment
£20,500
Reported refinance valuation
£130,000
Rent achieved

01 Living room
02 Bathroom
03 Kitchen
The numbers behind the project
Original asking price £80,000 Agreed purchase £72,000 £8,000 negotiated below asking
Illustrative total project cost
£94,500 core costs + £5,000 other-cost allowance£99,500
The refinance position
Reported refinance valuation£130,000
Gross refinance at 75% LTV£97,500
£130,000 × 75% = £97,500 gross refinance
Illustrative capital left in
£99,500 total project cost − £97,500 gross refinance£2,000
This is an illustrative capital position based on the figures and allowances shown, not the exact documented historic cash outcome. Unconfirmed acquisition finance or bridging interest, arrangement and exit fees are excluded unless covered by a stated allowance. Future valuations and lending terms are not guaranteed.
The rental position
Rent achieved
£850 PCM
Annual rent
£10,200
Gross yield on £130,000 end value
Approx 7.8%
£850 × 12 = £10,200 annual rent
£10,200 ÷ £130,000 = 7.85% gross yield
Rent achieved is historic, not necessarily the current rent. Gross yield is before mortgage interest and other ongoing ownership costs. Those running costs are separate from the capital-left-in calculation.
The sourcing work behind the deal
My part was to identify the opportunity, assess the purchase position and refurbishment requirement, review the numbers and negotiate the price. I considered the potential post-refurbishment position before presenting the opportunity to the investor.
