Property 5 – BRR Case Study

For Property 5, I wanted to try a refurb to rent, using the BRR model (Buy, Refurbish, Refinance). This is a much cheaper property than previously bought, and gives a much better yield when it is refinanced. Here are the stats of the property bought.

Price £43K
Refurb £12K
Value after refurb £65K (at least)
Mortgage (after 6 months) £48,750@ 3.2% = £130 per month
Deposit (money left in after refinance)
£6,250
Rent £450 per month
Management 9%+VAT = £49.50
Insurance £13 per month
Cashflow 450 – 49.50 (management) – 130 (mortgage) – £13 (insurance) = + £257.50 per month
Return on Cash
3090/6250 = 49%

This is great, I will get a similar return to my previous properties, with only 6.2K invested, giving a 50% return. Problem is … finding lots of these deals is not so easy, and there is a LOT more work involved.

Work included a new kitchen, new central heating, new double glazing, and plastering throughout. Basically a full refurb. Once the refurb is complete I will give more photos.
