Roanheads

THE PROPERTY

A well-presented, one-bedroom detached property situated just a stone’s throw from the sea in Peterhead, Aberdeenshire. Finished to a high standard throughout, this property offers an immediate, income-generating investment with the added potential to significantly increase returns through short-term letting.

The property is sold freehold with no ongoing ground rent or service charge obligations.

CURRENT INCOME – ASSURED SHORTHOLD TENANCY (AST)

The property is currently tenanted on a standard AST, providing the following returns:

• Gross rental income: £775 per calendar month (bills inclusive)
• Net rental income (after bills): £500 per calendar month / £6,000 per annum (approx.)
• Net yield at asking price: 9.2% per annum

This makes the property an attractive, hands-off investment from day one with a reliable, consistent income stream.

UPSIDE POTENTIAL – SHORT-TERM / AIRBNB LETTING

Previously operated as an Airbnb, the property demonstrated strong short-term letting performance:

• Peak income achieved: £1,000+ per calendar month (approx.)
• Potential gross yield (short-term): up to 18.5% per annum at asking price

The coastal location is a key driver of short-term demand, attracting leisure visitors, contractors, and workers in the local energy sector. With the right management, whether self-managed or via a local letting agen, an experienced operator could expect to meaningfully exceed the current AST income, particularly across spring and summer months.

Please note: short-term letting income is seasonal and subject to fluctuation. Figures quoted represent the landlord’s stated peak performance.
