Four-bed House selling for £147,000 mocked as Portacabin

Fancy living in a detached home, complete with a driveway spacious enough for multiple vehicles.

Now’s your chance, and it’s available for the surprisingly low price of just £147,000.

This four-bedroom, 1,367 square-foot property features a bathroom, a spacious kitchen, and a roomy living room, making it a perfect spot for hosting guests.

However, some prospective buyers have remarked that it looks somewhat like a large, two-story portacabin.

Located in Johnstone, west of Glasgow, Scotland, the home is on the market as a freehold property, currently advertised by Let Property & Sales Management. According to Luxury Property News, it’s being pitched as a buy-to-let investment opportunity.

The listing describes this unique property as an ideal option for investors looking to expand their portfolio.

There’s a bit of a twist, though—long-term tenants already reside in the house.

The property currently generates an annual rental income of £12,000, with the tenants expressing a desire to remain in the home.

Should the situation change, the property is situated in a prime location, with three train stations within a 1.7-mile radius.

Additionally, there are four schools nearby, making it an attractive option for families once the current tenants move out.

Reactions to the property have been mixed. One potential buyer quipped, “Portakabin on stilts?”

Another found the place “bizarre,”

while a curious onlooker asked, “What’s underneath it, though? There are windows…”

Jokingly, one viewer said, “I say stilts… I mean rigid stays…”

Yet another user expressed concerns, stating, “So many red flags.”

A more detailed comment highlighted the rental situation: “It’s being sold with the current family still renting it for £1,000 a month. It states they have no intentions of moving out. I mean, you would only really want it as a buy-to-let investment. But also, you could just kick them out before completing, but wouldn’t really want to deal with that. Definitely a buy-to-let.”
