Strictly offered For Sale to the Cash Buyer only. This property is NOT currently suitable for a Mortgage. Please DO NOT enquire or ask to view the property if you require a mortgage (Thank You for your co-operation in advance).
The particular property remains desirable due to its Semi Detached Bungalow style, it’s favoured Prestwick location and the opportunity it affords the knowledgeable purchaser with access to cash only funding. Owned & occupied for many decades by the same owner (circa 80 years) the property displays glimpses of its original character with the traditional panelled internal doors, picture rails and a fine fireplace with matching semi-glazed alcove cupboards in the lounge.
The photographs and “Virtual Tour” (available to view only on our blackhay.co.uk website – please ensure you view this internal tour before arranging a viewing) clearly show that the property has suffered from a lack of internal maintenance/modernisation as its owner lived through the decades. However, it undoubtedly offers the successful purchaser an opportunity to bring the property up-to-date in the usual fashion – kitchen/bathroom/electrics/windows/decor etc …with the caveat of undertaking building works to deal with the issue that appears to cast doubt over its “Suitable for Mortgage Status”. A brief “Engineers Report” summarises that external cracking suggests there may be an issue with the internal “wall ties” corroding – in essence a further inspection is recommended to confirm this and initial informal discussions with a “trusted builder” have outlined the likely works involved/potential costs. The Sellers have opted to make an “allowance” against the stated Home Report value of £120,000 (noting the Surveyor clearly highlights that value is subject to an Engineers Report stating that the potential structure issues have been resolved to a level where the property would qualify for mortgage status on normal lending terms).
So… the property is not suitable for the novice DIY’er however it remains desirable and an opportunity for a knowledgeable purchaser (as previously stated). The current accommodation comprises, reception hall, characterful bay windowed lounge, separate kitchen, 2 bedrooms and bathroom. An undeveloped attic is featured. The gardens have been tidied to an extent however will require more work.
Clearly the property is “Sold as Seen”. Cash Purchaser is the ONLY option.
Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments… “After 35 years in the property industry I have sold a myriad of property styles, from walk-in condition to derelict. This particular property doesn’t phase me, however I will not be the buyer. Understandably we are not in a position to answer speculative questions from speculative buyers.
If you are a serious Cash Buyer and wish to discuss matters with a view to making an acceptable offer then we are happy to engage. The Sellers may accept a sole offer or they may look at the option of a “Closing Date” – no decision has been made and the sale progress will be continually reviewed.
Ultimately it will solely be the buyer’s decision as to whether they proceed with their particular interest in this property. The information/opinions stated are an “overview” only and any potential buyer must satisfy themselves whether this particular property is suitable for them – it is essential that they consult in detail with their solicitor prior to making an offer for this property, noting again that only Cash Buyers will be considered and the property will be Sold as Seen with No Guarantee or Warranty whatsoever.”
To view, please telephone BLACK HAY ESTATE AGENTS direct on 01292 283606 (after you have viewed the “Virtual Tour” at blackhay.co.uk). Viewings will be limited in accordance with Government Covid Guidlines and proof of Cash Buyer status may be required in advance. The Home Report will be available to view here exclusively on our blackhay.co.uk website. If you wish to discuss your interest as a Cash Buyer only in this particular property (noting all the previous information re “serious buyers only”) - please get in touch with our Estate Agency Director/Valuer Graeme Lumsden on 01292 283606.
We hope you appreciate we are trying to be informative/helpful by clarifying matters in advance with regard to Cash Buyers, speculative enquiries etc.

* NEW to Market - Available to View Now * A rare opportunity to acquire a small Cottage, believed to date circa 1900, within favoured Wigtown (designated in 1998 as Scotland’s National Book Town) on the “Machars Peninsula”, historically a very interesting area set amidst picturesque South West Scotland, located adjacent to the Solway with the Wigtown Bay Local Nature Reserve (LNR) just a few minutes walk from the property.
The cottage is located within a conservation area. A comfortable home to its owner over a number of years however it does now need modernisation with the Home Report detailing some of the works required, however the competitive price allows scope for the successful purchaser to upgrade to their own spec’/budget.
The property occupies an end of terrace/corner position, a short walk from the town hall/square. Access is via its main door entrance to the front which opens onto a semi-open reception hall which has a staircase to the side leading to the upper level whilst the lounge is located adjacent. A door to the rear of the lounge leads onto a central hallway off which a separate bedroom (No1 ) and bathroom are located either side, whilst the kitchen is located to the rear. A door from the kitchen opens onto the rear garden (noting that this has not been opened for some time and the garden itself is heavily overgrown). On the upper level, a 2nd bedroom with panoramic views towards Wigtown Bay on the horizon.
The specification includes mixed style electric heating together with mixed style windows. EPC – F. On-street parking is available.
It is fair to say the property will perhaps be of particular appeal to those clients seeking a “project” whether utilising their DIY skills or employing relevant trades to carry out upgrading works. Of broad appeal, whether as 1st Home or for the retired/semi-retired client or as a “bolt-hole”/holiday home.
The Home Report gives a clear indication of the current condition/likely works required, noting the Home Report Mortgage Value of £80,000 for the property in its current condition. Taking the aforementioned into account the property is offered for sale on a strictly “Sold as Seen” basis with no warranties/guarantees, noting the “services/utilities” appear disconnected and it would be the responsibility of the purchaser to deal with their reinstatement.
“Every picture tells a story”, so the saying goes …No 1 South Main Street is certainly presented in “Before” condition however it is only fair to reflect on its potential/wonderful location and how the “After” pictures might look. At the indicated price this is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity however please only view having taken into account the information provided here and in the Home Report. Serious potential purchasers are welcome to discuss matters in more detail with our Director/Valuer Graeme Lumsden on 01292 283606.
