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.
These examples illustrate the way Dominic discusses opportunities. They are not a list of properties currently available for sale.
