BRRR-strategy properties — refurb + refinance
Buy, Refurb, Rent, Refinance. The deals that pull your deposit back out. We surface UK needs-refurb listings priced at 70-75% of After Repair Value.
BRRR, properly
BRRR works when the Purchase + Refurb total lands below 75% of the After Repair Value. Do the maths properly and you pull all (or most) of your deposit back out at remortgage, leaving you with an infinite return on a cashflowing asset. We rank every UK listing that needs refurb against local sold prices for refurbished comparables, so you can see the ARV target before you make an offer. This is not Instagram BRRR. This is the maths of the strategy, applied to real listings.
Refurb-flagged automatically
We detect "needs modernisation", "requires refurb", "blank canvas" in listings, plus EPC/condition signals.
ARV from real sold prices
After Repair Value is calculated from recent refurbished comparables on the same street.
Remortgage maths included

Frequently asked questions
What is the BRRR 75% rule?
Purchase price + refurb cost should not exceed 75% of the After Repair Value. If a property refurbishes to GBP 200K, your total in should be under GBP 150K. Anything higher means you leave equity stuck in the deal at refinance.
How do you estimate After Repair Value?
We pull sold prices for refurbished comparables in the same postcode and property type. We adjust for floor area, condition, and age. If no close comparables exist, we flag the ARV as low-confidence so you do not over-project.
What refurb budget should I allow?
A light refurb (paint, carpets, kitchen, bathroom) typically runs GBP 15-25K in the North, GBP 25-40K in the South. Full renovation with structural work: GBP 40-80K+. Our calculator lets you plug in your actual builder quote.
How long does BRRR typically take?
Purchase 8-10 weeks. Refurb 6-12 weeks. Tenant in 2-4 weeks. Remortgage after 6 months (day-one remortgage products exist but fewer lenders). Total cycle: 8-12 months from offer to money-out.
