This one-bedroom upper flat is offered as part of a six-property investment portfolio in Bo’ness town centre, marketed for yield-focused buyers. The flat currently sits vacant after a long-term tenant left and is presented with immediate re-let potential at the advertised rent level. The building is a Georgian period stone property with sash windows and period character, which attracts town-centre renters but can require ongoing maintenance.
Financially the lot is compelling: the portfolio shows an indicative yield of 12.5%+ based on current rent of £575pcm for this unit. Council tax band A and an EPC rating of D are facts to factor into operating costs and compliance planning. Note there is uncertainty over tenure and a warning about “potentially no 8% supplement,” which buyers should clarify before purchase.
Location supports rental demand: central shops, good bus links and easy motorway access to the Central Belt, plus nearby train connections at Linlithgow. The surrounding neighbourhood is described as a transitional Eastern European area with constrained renter profiles and overall high deprivation—this supports strong rental demand but also means tenant turnover and welfare considerations may affect management.
For investors: this is a high-yield, town-centre, period flat with straightforward accommodation and gas central heating. For prudent purchasing, budget for routine maintenance typical of Georgian buildings, verify legal tenure and supplements, and allow for potential void periods while re-letting from vacancy.
