Description

A development opportunity comprising a first-floor flat at 1 Conval Street and shop premises at 1 The Square, offered together as one lot in Dufftown. The properties are described as being in disrepair and uninhabitable in their current condition. The flat has gas central heating and partial double glazing, with a kitchen, three rooms, a hallway and a bathroom. The shop comprises one room, and internal walls may have been removed. A large pit is noted below floor level, and the listing advises that the floors and lower walls have been removed and that inspection by a structural engineer is required. Plans were drawn in 2019 for a possible conversion to a two-bedroom mid-terraced house, but planning permission has not been applied for. Any conversion would therefore require planning and feasibility checks. Shared ground is available to the rear. Carpets and fitted floor coverings, light fittings, bathroom fittings and kitchen appliances are included in the asking price.

38out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

The prominent stone corner position and combined shop-and-flat lot give this a distinctive canvas, with plans already drawn for a possible two-bedroom house conversion. The photographed interiors are heavily stripped and worn: floors and lower walls have been removed, with exposed joists and a large pit or void, so this is a structural reinstatement project rather than a cosmetic update. The plans have not been submitted for planning permission, and the listing recommends a structural engineer’s inspection.

At £85,000, the price cannot yet be judged against local £/sqf because floor area is missing. The £90,000–£180,000 renovation range signals a substantial budget and programme; the score is low overall, with value and residual economics not yet assessable from the available area data.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the combined shop-and-flat premises around the drawn, but not permissioned, two-bedroom house conversion concept.
  • Make use of the prominent stone corner frontage at Conval Street and The Square as the basis for a distinctive finished property.
  • Rebuild the stripped interiors with a new layout, floors and finishes, including replacing the visibly damaged, dated kitchen.

Key risks

  • Removed floors and lower walls, exposed joists and a large pit or void make this a structural reinstatement programme; the £90,000–£180,000 works range calls for substantial budget and time beyond a cosmetic refresh.
  • The listing recommends inspection by a structural engineer; concealed masonry and roof condition cannot be established from the available views.
