Description

Plot 3 is a decrofted building plot of approximately 0.165 hectares at South Lochboisdale, with shore access and views across the surrounding loch and open landscape. Detailed planning consent is stated to have been granted for a single-storey, two-bedroom dwelling. Planning references 22/00257 and 22/00258 are dated 7 December 2022; purchasers should check the consent documents and current status with the relevant authority. The plot is on the landward side of the township road. Three other plots are also available, and an owner-occupied croft of approximately 8.53 hectares is offered separately. The plots and croft may be purchased individually or together. The sale may be subject to the seller reserving service rights, including private drainage, and is stated to be sold as seen. South Lochboisdale is a short distance south of Daliburgh, where local facilities include a shop, primary school, hotel, community hall and filling station. Lochboisdale, around five miles away, is the main ferry port for South Uist, with services to Oban, Barra and Mallaig. Benbecula to the north has further amenities, secondary schooling and an airport. The listing invites offers over £30,000 for each plot.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

45out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a plot rather than a renovation house: the appeal is the coastal setting, loch views and stated detailed planning consent for a single-storey, two-bedroom home. The land is undeveloped, with rough, uneven ground and scattered rocks, so the opportunity is to create a new home to the approved design rather than improve an existing dwelling. The photos do not show whether the site is serviced or ready to build, and the consent, its conditions, service rights and build feasibility should be checked.

The score is low overall, with limited economics and location information rather than a confirmed adverse price comparison. Floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sq ft cannot be judged yet; no renovation range is available to assess build economics.

Key opportunities

  • Develop a new single-storey, two-bedroom home in a coastal setting with loch views, subject to verifying the detailed planning consent.
  • Shape the design and landscaping around the generous 0.165-hectare plot and its natural surroundings.

Key risks

  • The plot is rough and uneven, and the photos do not establish servicing or construction readiness; confirm site access, drainage and other service arrangements, including any reserved service rights.
  • Build costs and project economics cannot be assessed from the available information; establish a build budget and verify feasibility before committing.
