Description

Offered at auction on 8 October 2026, this part-completed detached house is arranged over three levels and is described as providing around 170 sqm (1,830 sq ft) of flexible accommodation. The proposed layout includes four bedrooms, an open-plan kitchen and dining room, a separate living room, a lower-ground-floor family room, a utility room and a workshop. The principal bedroom is planned with an en-suite shower room, and the ground floor includes a garage and porch. The listing states that flooring has been laid and that full planning permission has been granted, but building warrants will need to be renewed. Buyers should confirm the current state of the works and the permissions and warrants before proceeding. The property is in Saline, with local shops and amenities nearby and road connections towards Dunfermline and the wider Central Belt.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

57out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At £179,000, the guide price is markedly below the local average per square foot, creating an opportunity to acquire a substantial four-bedroom, three-level house at a low entry price. The structure and roof covering are visible, but the exterior is part-built and the plot remains a construction site; completing the house and reinstating the garden is the central value-creation project. The listing describes a planned open-plan kitchen/dining space and a lower-ground family room with bifold doors, offering scope to finish a flexible family home. Building-warrant renewal, the remaining work and approval status need checking. As this is an auction, bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.

The low price and strong fundamentals are offset by the scale and uncertainty of the unfinished build, while the available information does not establish renovation economics. This is a hands-on development opportunity rather than a straightforward cosmetic project.

Key opportunities

  • Complete the substantial three-level, 170 sqm structure as a four-bedroom family home, using the planned open-plan kitchen/dining area and lower-ground family room to create flexible living space.
  • Finish the exterior and reinstate the disturbed plot, turning an active building site into a complete home with usable outdoor space.
  • The low asking price per square foot offers an attractive acquisition point for a builder or developer able to manage the completion.

Key risks

  • The part-built exterior, incomplete-looking openings and construction materials indicate a full completion programme rather than a cosmetic refresh; remaining scope, budget, programme and required building-warrant renewal need verification.
  • The roof covering is visible, but its completion and condition cannot be verified from the available images.
