This first-floor two-bedroom flat on John Street, Dunoon, is a compact freehold investment with clear rental potential. At around 530 sq ft and offered at a guide price of £45,000, the advertised local housing allowance suggests a potential yield of about 15% — attractive for buy-to-let purchasers prepared to manage and let quickly.
The property occupies a Victorian terraced building with high ceilings and a bay-window room; internal photos and the description indicate a mix of contemporary and dated finishes. The flat requires updating and is described as tired in places, so buyers should budget for refurbishment. Broadband is slow and the area is classified as very deprived, which may affect tenant demand and capital growth despite good mobile signal and local amenities.
This lot will be sold at a livestream auction on Thursday 27th November 2025 (2pm). Registration to bid is required in advance (deadline 6pm Wednesday 26th November). Auction sale includes a buyer’s premium (3.6% of the purchase price, minimum £3,600 inclusive of VAT) — factor this into total purchase costs. No tests of services or warranties are provided; the property is sold as seen.
In short: the flat suits an investor willing to take on a small, lower-cost project for immediate rental income. It is not a turnkey home — consider inspection and a refurbishment budget before bidding.
