Description

Offered at auction on 5 November 2026, this substantial sandstone property in Hawick was formerly operated as the Buccleuch Hotel. The listing describes approximately 639 square metres of accommodation over several levels, with a ground-floor entrance hall, two large fitness rooms, a kitchen and lounge area, shower room and toilets. The lower-ground floor contains a number of rooms and storerooms. On the first floor there is a large function room, ladies' toilets and two bedrooms, while the upper floor has a lounge, kitchen and three bedrooms, including one en-suite, which could serve as owners' accommodation. The property requires renovation, and the listing notes that work has started following previous planning permission for residential conversion. It also identifies potential for multiple uses. Any planning or use proposals would need to be checked with Scottish Borders Council. Auction bidding is scheduled to take place online between 9am and 3pm on 5 November 2026. Hawick has local shops, schools, medical facilities, cafes and other amenities, with road links via the A7 and A698. Galashiels, where the Borders Railway provides services to Edinburgh, is nearby. The town is around 40 miles south of Edinburgh and 18 miles southwest of Galashiels.

60out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At £190,000, the guide is exceptionally low against the local £/sqf benchmark, making this a strikingly cheap acquisition on the stated comparison. The former Buccleuch Hotel offers around 639 sqm across multiple levels, with large rooms, period detail and a sandstone frontage that appears broadly intact; previous residential-conversion permission is mentioned, though current consent and feasibility need checking. As this is an auction, bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.

This is a heavy, partly started conversion project rather than a cosmetic refresh: photographed interiors show dated finishes and worn or unfinished floors in several spaces, and the remaining scope needs careful inspection and documentation. The scale and existing character give a buyer room to shape the accommodation, but the limited renovation-economics score means the overall opportunity is not fully established by the headline price alone.

Key opportunities

  • The former hotel’s multiple levels and large rooms offer scope to shape a distinctive residential layout, subject to verifying current planning consent and feasibility.
  • A heavy conversion project gives a buyer the chance to complete and rework the partly started scheme around the building’s period details and substantial floor area.
  • The sandstone frontage appears broadly intact, providing a characterful exterior to build on.

Key risks

  • Partly started works, worn or unfinished floors in several spaces and the building’s substantial scale point to a full interior rebuild programme; allow time and budget for a complex job rather than a cosmetic refresh.
  • The remaining renovation and conversion scope is unclear, and the economics score is limited by insufficient data; inspect the works completed and verify the project costs before committing.
