Freehold two-storey maisonette near UHI and hospital — affordable entry to Inverness living.
Freehold two-storey maisonette, approximately 721 sq ft
Walking distance to UHI, hospital, and local shops
Two generous bedrooms plus two additional adaptable rooms
Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband throughout
Communal parking and mid-20th-century apartment block setting
Area classified as very deprived; constrained renters locally
Very low council tax; affordable £100,000 asking price
Small-to-medium room sizes; typical older building maintenance considerations
Set over two floors, this freehold maisonette offers practical living space close to key Inverness amenities. The ground floor presents a living room flowing to a dining area, a fitted kitchen and useful storage; upstairs there are two generous bedrooms, two additional versatile rooms and a family bathroom. At about 721 sq ft, the layout suits first-time buyers or young families seeking a straightforward, adaptable home.
Location is a clear strength: the property is within walking distance of the University of the Highlands and Islands and the hospital, with easy access to the city centre and nearby retail parks. Connectivity is strong with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and communal parking and grounds serve the mid-20th-century residential block.
Practical considerations are also important. The area is classified as very deprived and has a local profile of constrained renters; this can affect resale dynamics and local services. The building is a mid-20th-century apartment block with small-to-medium room sizes and communal parking, so buyers should expect typical maintenance and communal management arrangements associated with older apartment developments.
Overall, this maisonette represents an affordable entry into Inverness property ownership — freehold tenure, low council tax, and a £100,000 asking price make it accessible. It will particularly appeal to first-time buyers or investors seeking rental demand from students and hospital staff, though buyers should factor local deprivation and communal building upkeep into their plans.
