How to read these figures
Figures are historical and were originally reported by Tuna Fish Property. Yields are shown as reported; the source does not specify gross or net for every entry. The Prescot yield is a projection. Refinance valuations are not sale proceeds or mortgage advances. The £22,500 call-option amount and £5,000 debt-for-asset-swap amount are not ordinary purchase prices.
Acquisition costs, works, finance, tax and running costs affect overall return. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Images are from the original record where an appropriate visual was available. See the original Tuna Fish Property track record.
Read the figures properly
Price, value and profit
are different things.
Purchase price
The amount paid for the property, before any separate purchase costs or works.
Estimated sale value
An assessment used when evaluating the opportunity. It is not evidence that a sale at that price has taken place.
Comparable sales
Nearby transactions that provide context. Differences in size, condition, tenure and timing still need to be considered.
Profit
The result after proceeds and all relevant costs are known. Neither example on this page states a realised profit.
Apply the same discipline to your search
Ask for the
supporting evidence.
For a proposed purchase, ask what supports the value, which costs remain uncertain and which assumptions need checking. Consider whether it fits your budget and intended use even if the projected outcome changes.
