This two-bedroom maisonette occupies the second and third floors of a mid-20th-century block and offers clear value for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The layout places living space on the lower level — a bright open-plan dining kitchen plus a generous lounge — with two double bedrooms and a three-piece bathroom upstairs. Double glazing, built-in wardrobes and communal garden grounds add practical benefits.
The property is being sold freehold and has a proven rental history (circa £800pcm), making it attractive for investors seeking immediate income. For owner-occupiers, the affordable council tax and proximity to shops, transport and local amenities make day-to-day life easy. The block’s solid, functional construction and secure communal entrance suit buyers wanting straightforward, low-fuss accommodation.
Notable drawbacks are factual: the EPC is F, and the flat will benefit from cosmetic updating or modernisation to maximise value and energy performance. The building dates from around 1965 and is accessed via communal stairs and deck walkways, which may not suit anyone requiring level access. The property sits in a very deprived area, which affects long-term capital-growth prospects but helps keep the purchase price and running costs low.
Overall, this maisonette presents an affordable entry point to the Helensburgh market with sensible rental potential and clear scope for improvement. Buyers seeking a refurbishment project or a hands-off rental should both consider viewing to assess the scope and potential returns.
