A Leith flat in need of a total makeover before anyone could call it their home has been sold at an auction for more than double its original asking price.
The one-bedroom Balfour Street flat in Edinburgh was added on the Rightmove property website back on January 17, with a guided price of £30,000, and has since been auctioned away for £74,000, with the buyer paying upfront in cash.
The flat has two rooms - a bedroom and a kitchen and dining space combined in one open plan area, with the shower room and toilet facilities located outside the flat - across the communal hall.
