No block-of-flats-on-single-title discoveries today. Focus on cheap auction entry properties and ongoing monitoring.
Extremely cheap 3-bed terrace in Sparkhill B11. At £39k this is likely a probate / derelict / auction requiring full refurb. B11 (Sparkhill) is on the target postcode list for splits. Even with £80k-£120k refurb, total cost £119k-£159k = viable for 2-flat conversion if GIA ≥80 sqm after works.
Verdict: 🔍 Worth investigating — price is low enough to absorb refurb costs. Verify condition and GIA.
3-bed semi in Tipton DY4. Auction property, freehold. Sub-£100k entry in Dudley borough — very unusual. Likely probate / needs full refurb. Could be candidate for 2-flat split if GIA is adequate.
Verdict: 🔍 Investigate — low entry price but verify condition and GIA.
2-bed terrace — likely too small for title split but cheap for BRRR/HMO. Auction, freehold. Not viable for splitting (GIA likely <80 sqm for 2-bed).
Verdict: ❌ GIA too small for split. Pass.
