A compact one-bedroom flat in a Victorian terrace on Newton Street, offered for sale at auction with a low guide price of £15,000. The self-contained accommodation is understood to include an entrance hallway, lounge, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, plus a small garden. Fast broadband and basic local shops are nearby; Kilmarnock town centre is within reach for wider amenities.
This lot is presented as a refurbishment/investment opportunity. The listing quotes a Local Housing Allowance value of £4,487.60 per annum and states a potential yield of around 29% at the guide price; buyers should verify rental figures independently. The property will be sold without possession and is being offered at livestream auction on 27th November 2025 — registration to bid is required before 6pm on 26th November.
Buyers should note material considerations: the flat is in an area classed as very deprived and the accommodation is described as needing modernisation. No tests have been made of services, equipment or fittings and no warranty is given as to condition. A Buyer’s Premium of £1,250 + VAT may apply to the successful purchaser. Council Tax Band A, freehold tenure, and no flooding risk are recorded.
For an investor able to manage refurbishment and let in a lower-rent area, this property offers a very low entry price and potential gross rental return if LHA levels are achieved. For owner-occupiers seeking immediate move-in-standard accommodation, the property will likely require investment to modernise and improve services.
