A bargain flat is on the market for £39,000 - the same as a garage in London. The one-bed flat needs a bit of TLC, but was valued at £50,000 so could be a bargain.
It has a garden and a double bedroom as well as a lounge and kitchen-dining room. It is tipped as a "great starter home for a first-time buyer or downsizer" and a "potential bargain".
The ground floor flat is in a traditional red sandstone building, with an entrance hallway, lounge, large dining kitchen offering direct access to the rear garden, a double bedroom and a bathroom. It is within walking distance of the shops and amenities of the town centre in Alexandria, West Dunbartonshire.
It's described as having a potential rental income of more than £370 a month. Comparatively, a garage in Harrow, West London, with a 165sqft floor area is on sale for £40,000. Another in East Sheen, Richmond upon Thames, is also on sale for £40,000.
The property is due to go under the hammer at Auction House Scotland’s on July 20 at the Radisson RED hotel, Glasgow.
