Viewing Day – What We Look For

Yesterday we viewed the Crewe property showing 11.29% projected yield.

Here’s what we assessed beyond the numbers:

• Condition vs actual refurb budget
• Street quality and neighbouring properties
• Suitability for a long-term family tenant
• Any early signs of structural or damp issues
• Overall tenant appeal

Some deals look great online and fall apart in person.
Some improve when you see the potential.

Due diligence protects yield.

Now we review and decide.

Deal Analysis – Crewe, Cheshire (2-Bed End Terrace)

We’re currently reviewing a 2-bed end terrace in Crewe, within walking distance of the town centre and train station.

Projected yield: 11.29% following a light refurbishment.

On paper, it’s attractive:
✅ Strong rental demand for family homes in this location
✅Light cosmetic refurb only
✅Good transport links for commuting tenants
✅Sensible entry price

Our target tenant would be a working family looking for long-term stability.

Tomorrow’s viewing is about validating the numbers:
• True condition vs. refurb budget
• Street quality and neighbouring properties
• Layout practicality for family living
• Any hidden costs that could erode yield

A strong yield only matters if the fundamentals are right.

We’ll update once we’ve completed our on-site due diligence.

Every Buy-to-Let project we take on follows the same framework.

BUILD keeps our approach disciplined and repeatable, helping us manage risk, protect capital and focus on long-term performance rather than short-term wins.

A clear process matters far more than chasing the next “deal”.

'Hands-free' gets used a lot in property - but it only works when the foundations are right.
Our role is to remove the operational load while protecting performance:
👉 disciplined buying
👉 practical refurb decisions
👉 strong tenant demand

The goal isn't excitement - it's consistency.

🏡 Update on this Buy-to-Let

Following the refurbishment, the property was reserved by tenants two weeks before completion, and they have now moved in.

A great result that reinforces how important presentation, planning and finish are in today’s rental market.

When a property is designed properly, demand tends to follow.
