A new year is often a time for reflection and goal-setting for the year ahead.
Perhaps this is the year to get a foot on the property ladder or buy an investment property?
Here are five homes in Tayside and Fife that are each on the market for under £60,000.
Carnoustie
It’s not often you’ll see a detached bungalow selling for less than £50,000, especially one within driving range of Carnoustie’s championship golf course.
This could be described as small but perfectly formed with a shared lounge/bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and small porch.
It is being sold for offers over £45,000 by Blackadders.
Dundee
This Clepington Road flat would make an ideal first property or buy-to-let investment.
This one-bedroom flat has large rooms, a modern bathroom and gas central heating in a high-demand area.
The property is being sold at a reduced price £2,000 less than its home report valuation.
It is on sale with Michael A Brown at a fixed price of £58,000.
Glenrothes
This freshly decorated flat in Blair Place, Leslie boasts two double bedrooms and gas central heating.
There is a large kitchen, a feature fireplace in the living room and plenty of opportunity for a new buyer to add their personal touches.
It is on sale with Your Move for offers over £59,950.
Perth
Smack bang in the middle of Perth city centre, this one-bedroom flat offers a lot for the money.
The freshly-painted Fleshers Vennel property offers plenty of light and good storage.
Elements of the flat would benefit from upgrades, but it would just need a new carpet in the bedroom to be in move-in condition.
It is on sale for the fixed price of £50,000 by Possible.
Crieff
This is one for the renovation enthusiasts – a large two-bedroom flat in West High Street with lots of potential.
The open plan lounge kitchen alone is 6.1m x 5.7m and could be a stunning space. The bedrooms are also generously sized and there’s gas heating.
The flat is a blank canvas that needs investment to finish, including flooring and new kitchen/bathroom but the results could be spectacular.
