This ground-floor one-bedroom flat on Wellington Road offers clear investor potential in Aberdeen city centre. At about 425 sq ft and with a guide price of £35,000 (Home Report: £40,000) the property is offered for sale at auction and is promoted with an estimated rental of £550 pcm — implying a prospective yield above 18% if acquired at guide price.
The flat requires renovation and modernization throughout: cosmetic and likely functional works are needed to bring the dated interior and kitchen/bathroom up to modern letting standards. EPC rating D indicates modest energy efficiency; tenure is unknown and should be confirmed before purchase. The property sits in a constrained-rental local market within a very deprived area and a transitional Eastern European neighbourhood, which will influence tenant demand and rental levels.
Practical positives include a ground-floor position with a private garden area, easy access to city-centre amenities, strong mobile signal and fast broadband—useful for students or professionals. For an investor able to manage renovation and auction purchase risks, this flat represents a low-entry-cost rental opportunity. Buyers seeking a move-in-ready home should expect significant refurbishment work.
