Finnieston fixer-upper with bags of potential on market for £85,000

It's always tough buying your first home, especially in recent months where high demand in Glasgow has led to a significant increase in prices.

Savills Home Truth report on Glasgow and West of Scotland found a 44% increase in agreed sales once the market reopened in July following weeks of lockdown.

And zooming in on our city, in recent years it has been particularly difficult to get a first foot on the Finnieston property ladder, the west end area regularly rated as one of the 'coolest' neighbourhoods in the UK with an abundance of bars, restaurants and cafes beckoning in people from other parts of Glasgow and beyond.

But we've stumbled across a rare opportunity to land yourself that much-revered Finnieston pad for a fraction of the price you'd usually pay.

However, it's going to require a bit of elbow grease to get this place up to scratch.

The Estate Agency Co. are marketing a second floor apartment, in the heart of Finnieston - just above much-loved Lebowskis - for just £85,000 (offers over).

And although they admit the property requires 'modernisation and upgrading throughout', it's clear the flats has bags of potential, and anyone who is a dab hand at DIY could quickly turn this home into something very special.

The one-bedroom apartment comes complete with an entrance hallway with large store, kitchen with an opening into the living room and a view onto Argyle Street down below.

Know anyone who's up to the task? This could be the place for them.
