A rare three-storey Victorian commercial development on Dumbarton High Street, offered freehold and ready for a full refurbishment. The building’s period stone frontage, high ceilings and large internal volumes suit an investor or developer seeking a prominent high-footfall location less than a ten-minute walk from Dumbarton train station.
The property is sold at auction and is currently in shell condition; it requires complete renovation before occupation or letting. There is clear upside: refurbishment or conversion to residential (subject to planning) could unlock rental income estimated at £50,000–£60,000 per year or capital value uplift for resale.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the building needs full renovation, planning for change of use is not confirmed, and the surrounding area is classed as very deprived which can affect lettings and values in the short term. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and the site has no flood risk, which supports both commercial and residential possibilities.
This is a pragmatic development play for experienced investors or developers who can manage refurbishment, secure any required consents, and capitalise on a central, high-visibility position in a town undergoing regeneration.
