Description

This two-bedroom second-floor flat is set in a traditional sandstone tenement in Paisley, within reach of the town centre, local amenities and transport links. The accommodation is arranged off a central hall and includes a bay-windowed living room, a separate fitted kitchen and two bedrooms. A bathroom with a bath and separate shower enclosure, along with three storage cupboards, completes the internal layout. The flat has useful room proportions and retains traditional character. The kitchen is fitted with wall and base units, worktops and tiled splashbacks, while the bathroom has a window for natural light and ventilation. The listing notes that cosmetic upgrading and modernisation would be beneficial, giving a buyer scope to update the interiors to their requirements. Residents also have access to a communal rear garden. Paisley Gilmour Street and Paisley Canal stations, local bus services and road links including the M8 are described as accessible from the area. The property is marketed by Gallus Sales & Lettings.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

59out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £70,000, this flat is priced below the local average at £155 per sq ft versus £173, making it an appealing opportunity to acquire a two-bedroom home in Paisley at a relatively low entry price. The overall score is still a weaker opportunity: the price is attractive, but the economics are tight against current local average values once the light refurbishment is considered.

The traditional sandstone tenement setting, generous proportions and bright bay-windowed lounge give the flat a distinctive starting point. The interiors look usable but dated across several rooms, so a cosmetic refresh and updated finishes could make the most of the layout; the communal garden also appears well kept.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire at £155 per sq ft, below the local average of £173 per sq ft.
  • Refresh the dated finishes and worn flooring across the usable interior.
  • Make the most of the bright bay-windowed lounge, traditional sandstone setting and communal garden.
