Auction lot — rental income and refurbishment potential near Eyemouth harbour.
Three-bedroom main-door maisonette over ground and first floors
A three-bedroom main-door maisonette in Eyemouth offered for timed online auction. The property is arranged over ground and first floors, with an entrance hall, living room, kitchen, three bedrooms and a bathroom. The building dates from around 1960 and was converted later; double glazing was installed before 2002 and the property is served by mains gas with an Ariston boiler for central heating and hot water.
The flat is currently let at £450 pcm (all payments up to date), which produces a gross income of £5,400 per year. At the asking price of £68,000 this equates to a gross yield close to 8%—a clear income driver for buy-to-let purchasers. There is also a RICS Home Report valuation of £100,000, but this does not change the auction sale process or price.
Buyers should note material considerations: the EPC is Band E, broadband speeds are slow and the interior will benefit from modernization in places. The area is described as very deprived and council tax is above average, factors that will influence long-term capital growth and tenant demand. The sale is by auction (18 September 2025), so timelines are fixed and due diligence should be completed before bidding.
Eyemouth offers coastal scenery, a working harbour and local amenities within walking distance. The property may suit investors seeking an immediate rental return or buyers willing to refurbish for higher capital value and improved EPC performance.
