Affordable auction opportunity for experienced investors seeking high-yield refurbishment..
Guide price £25,000, sold at auction
A one-bedroom ground-floor flat in a Victorian stone building on Newmilns Main Street, offered for auction with a guide price of £25,000. The property is currently tenanted at £400 pcm and could achieve an estimated rent of £450–£475 pcm once reworked, giving a projected gross yield of about 19–23% at guide price. Freehold tenure, no flood risk, and strong mobile signal are practical positives for lettability.
The flat requires full renovation before habitation: damaged walls, exposed plaster, flooring issues and some structural concerns are noted. Electrical and finishing work is unfinished and the property will need a full programme of works. These defects reduce immediate owner-occupier use but present a clear refurbishment opportunity for investors able to manage repairs and costings.
This lot will be sold at auction and is currently tenanted, so purchasers should allow for a tenant in situ and the auction process. Local comparable sales at low values indicate potential capital upside in the longer term, but the property sits within a very deprived local area, which affects long-term capital risk and tenant demand profiles. Suitable for investors seeking a high-yield refurbishment project prepared to accept area-related risk.
