Description

A crofting tenancy extending to approximately 7.18 hectares (17.74 acres) is available at Locheynort on the east coast of South Uist. The land includes Loch na Laimhrig and has frontage to freshwater and sea lochs, with access to the shore. Tree planting has taken place and peat is cut on the croft. The land may suit crofting or lifestyle uses, subject to any required consents. Planning permission in principle is stated to be in place for a dwellinghouse on the seaward side of the croft, under reference 25/00348. The proposed site is positioned to take advantage of the waterside setting. Buyers should verify the permission, its conditions and duration, and take advice from a solicitor experienced in crofting law. The sale is of a crofting tenancy, not an existing house. Locheynort is reached from the A865 and is approximately 10 miles from Lochboisdale, which has shops, hospitality businesses and a ferry terminal. Daliburgh provides schooling, healthcare and other local services. Benbecula Airport and the ferry connection from Lochmaddy to Skye are also mentioned in the listing.

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

36out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a very different kind of project: a substantial croft tenancy with loch and shore frontage, rather than an existing house to renovate. The listing states that planning permission in principle is in place for a dwelling on the seaward side, offering the chance to create a home around an exceptional coastal setting. The proposed house images are illustrations, not an existing dwelling, and the permission and crofting arrangements need careful verification.

At £65,000, value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged because the floor area is missing; there is also no existing house shown to assess as a renovation. The location and land are distinctive, but the limited information on the build and overall economics keeps this in the low-opportunity E range.

Key opportunities

  • Create a dwelling on the seaward side, subject to confirming the planning permission in principle and its requirements.
  • The croft combines shore access, loch frontage and a roadside setting in a striking South Uist location.
  • The substantial landholding offers scope for crofting or lifestyle uses, subject to necessary consents.

Key risks

  • No existing dwelling is shown; feasibility, servicing and the practical scope of a new-build project need to be established.
  • Crofting tenancy terms and the planning permission details should be checked with appropriately experienced advisers.
