Roxburgh Street
West End
Refurbishment
A tired ex-rental basement flat near Byres Road refurbished and sold above Home Report at closing date.
Ex-Rental Basement Flat.
Right Location. Right Finish.
Roxburgh Street was a tired ex-rental basement flat in one of Glasgow's strongest West End pockets. It had the location, the bones and the unusual layout advantage of both front and rear main-door access. What it did not have was the finish.
The property had been let out for years. It was dark, dated and tired, with an old front door, outdated electrics and a general ex-rental feel. The opportunity was to take tired rental stock in a prime location and reposition it for owner-occupier demand.
The area mattered. Roxburgh Street sits close to Byres Road and the wider Glasgow West End, with access to cafes, restaurants, shops, transport links and established professional demand. The flat also had a small private front garden and access to a communal rear garden, which helped it stand out from a standard basement flat.
Full refurbishment.
Matched to the buyer.
The right specification in the right location can justify paying for quality. Buying cheaply is not the full strategy. Buying the right flat at the right price, then matching the finish to the buyer, is what made the project work.
The main challenge was logistics — basement access, narrow stairs, tight turns and on-street parking all had to be managed. The project sold at closing date above Home Report value and showed the benefit of matching specification to buyer demand.

Selling a tired West End flat?
I'll look at it directly.
Especially if it needs work, has awkward access or has been used as rental stock for years.
