Property investing can be incredibly lucrative when done right. One of the most powerful wealth-building methods is the Buy, Refurbish, Refinance (BRR) strategy. In this post, I’ll break down a recent deal that generated an £80,000 profit while still keeping the property in my portfolio—providing both capital growth and strong monthly cash flow.
The Deal Breakdown
I purchased a property for £125,000 and spent £30,000 on refurbishment. After completing the refurb, I refinanced the property at a new valuation of £240,000, allowing me to pull out a significant amount of my initial investment while still owning the property.
The Numbers
-
Purchase Price: £125,000
-
Refurbishment Cost: £30,000
-
Final Valuation: £240,000
-
Profit from the Deal: £80,000
The Refurbishment Work
For £30,000, I completely transformed the property by:
-
Installing a brand-new kitchen
-
Rewiring the entire property
-
Adding a modern, stylish bathroom
-
Plastering and painting throughout
-
Laying fresh carpets to finish it off
Monthly Income from the Property
Rather than selling, I let the property out to contractors, ensuring a high and steady rental income.
-
Monthly Revenue: £3,000
-
Monthly Profit (after expenses): £2,000
Why This Strategy Works
The Buy, Refurbish, Refinance model allows you to:
-
Recycle your capital – Pull money back out to reinvest in more deals
-
Build long-term wealth – Keep the property for ongoing appreciation and rental income
-
Maximize cash flow – With the right rental strategy, generate strong monthly profits
This is just one example of how property investment can deliver both short-term profits and long-term financial freedom. If you’re looking to get started in property investing, this strategy is a great way to scale up without needing endless cash reserves.
