Pictures show inside derelict Scottish flat after 'massive bidding frenzy' at auction

PICTURES have revealed what the inside of a Scottish flat looks like after a "massive bidding frenzy" erupted over it.

The tenement one-bedroom flat at 7 Airlie Street in Hyndland, in Glasgow's West End, attracted 85 bids from eight competing buyers when it went up for auction recently.

Online Property Auctions Scotland, who sold the property, revealed it had a Home Report valuation of £150,000.

The auction opened at £120,000. However, it ended up selling for £201,000 after eight potential buyers drove its price up.

Now, images first reported by The Glasgow Times have revealed exactly what the one-bedroom home looks like inside.

Take a look inside the flat:

He said: “The bidding was ultra-competitive for this exceptional Hyndland apartment, which offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern living.

“In the final nine minutes alone, there were 26 separate bids as the price rocketed from £178,000 to the eventual winning sum.

“There was huge interest even before we opened the bidding, with nearly 100 expressions of interest from around the world in the days leading up to Wednesday’s auction."

Lovat added: “What made this so special is the fact that the flat needs complete refurbishment and renovation.

"There will be a fair amount of expense required before anyone can move in.

“However, it is worth noting that a similar property at 11 Airlie Street sold in November last year for £276,500.”
