Home-hunters who feel priced out of the property market can get their hands on a Port Glasgow flat for less than the average deposit.

Ideal for first-time buyers, a one bedroom flat in Port Glasgow is on the market at starting bids of just £3,000 - the cheapest available property to purchase in Scotland.

The flat has one bedroom, a reception room, kitchen and bathoom and will require a bit of modernisation to bring it up to scratch.

It's on the third floor of the building on Maxwell Street and is close to local shops, amenities and recreational areas.

It's also within the Clune Park regeneration area and a network of local bus services and Port Glasgow Railway Station are close-by.

The property is being marketed by London based estate agency Barnard Marcus and will be going under the hammer on 16 December.
