THE REPORTED FIGURES

Purchase price
£37,000 — reported by Stuart on 5 August 2026.
Renovation & fees estimate
About £13,000 including fees, possibly more — Stuart’s 5 August estimate, not a final renovation-only total.
Rent
About £1,000/month — reported in the later project record. Tenancy start and receipts still needed.
Profit estimate
Roughly £650/month previously reported. Costs are not itemised, so this is not an exact or independently reconstructed profit figure.

EXACT FIGURES STILL NEEDED

Acquisition costs
Tax, legal, survey and other purchase fees; identify what is already included in the £13,000 estimate.
Renovation total
Final materials, labour, appliances, furnishing and other spend; separate fees to avoid double-counting.
Rent & period
Tenancy start; actual rent received, arrears or refunds for one named reporting period.
Finance
Mortgage/finance balance, payments, interest, capital repayment and fees for that period; confirm if none.
Running costs
Service charges/factor fees, insurance, letting/management, repairs and other costs for the same period.
Council tax & utilities
Amounts and dates paid by the owner, including vacant/renovation periods; confirm any zero costs.
Profit / cash flow
Confirm which costs the approximate £650 includes. Exact profit and cash flow remain uncalculated.

WHAT THIS UPDATE CONFIRMS

Stuart reported the £37,000 purchase and approximate £13,000 spend including fees on 5 August. The 23 September project record reports about £1,000/month rent and roughly £650/month profit. The earlier £700 expected rent was a forecast, not the later rental figure. No exact yield or profit has been calculated from incomplete costs. Missing amounts are unknown, not £0.
