For Sale by Auction 2pm on 26th November 2026
Located on the established Saracen Street in Glasgow, while both properties would benefit from refurbishment, they present an ideal buy-to-let investment.
Once repaired and finished to a good standard, the units are considered capable of attracting strong tenant demand from a range of local occupiers, including convenience retail, professional services, takeaway operators or other uses subject to any necessary consents.
The properties may qualify for rates relief. Following refurbishment, the properties are expected to generate competitive market rental income in line with comparable commercial premises within the locality, offering the potential for improved capital value and an attractive investment yield.
