Investment Case Study
Location: Brentford, London
Property Type: 2-Bedroom Flat
Purchase Price: £300,000 (distressed property)
Estimated Refurbishment Costs: £40,000
Total Investment: £340,000
Purchase & Refurbishment:
Purchase Price: £300,000
Refurbishment Costs: £40,000
Total Initial Investment: £340,000
Post-Refurbishment Valuation (After Repair Value - ARV):
Estimated ARV: £400,000
Refinancing:
Loan-to-Value (LTV) Ratio: 75% of ARV
Refinanced Mortgage Amount: £400,000 × 0.75 = £300,000
Capital Recovered:
Amount Recovered from Refinancing: £300,000
Equity Remaining in Property: £100,000 (25% of ARV)
Rental Income:
Estimated Monthly Rent: £1,800
Annual Rental Income: £1,800 × 12 = £21,600
Mortgage Payments:
Interest Rate: 3% per annum
Annual Mortgage Interest: £300,000 × 0.03 = £9,000
Net Annual Income:
Annual Rental Income: £21,600
Less Annual Mortgage Interest: £9,000
Less Estimated Annual Expenses (20% of Rental Income): £21,600 × 0.20 = £4,320
Net Annual Income: £21,600 - £9,000 - £4,320 = £8,280
Return on Investment (ROI):
Initial Cash Invested: £340,000 - £300,000 (recovered from refinancing) = £40,000
ROI: (£8,280 / £40,000) × 100 = 20.7%
Capital Recovery: By refinancing at 75% LTV, the investor recovers £300,000 of the initial £340,000 investment, leaving £40,000 tied up in the property.
Equity Build-Up: The property now has £100,000 in equity (the difference between the ARV and the refinanced mortgage).
Cash Flow: The property generates a net annual income of £8,280, providing a steady cash flow.
ROI: With a 20.7% return on the remaining cash invested, this strategy demonstrates a robust return, showcasing the effectiveness of the BRRR method.
