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.
