One of Scotland's cheapest flats has been sold at auction - for just over £9500.

DIY skills are a necessity for the lucky buyer of the three-bedroom flat in Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire.

Auctioneers say the exact amount the property sold for cannot be revealed for privacy reasons, but confirmed it was sold for between £9500 and £12,000.

The "generously proportioned" flat has a reception hallway, a front-facing lounge, gallery-style kitchen, three bedrooms and a bathroom.

The advert on Auction House Scotland said the flat had a "fantastic low price" and "development potential" but is in need of a "full refurbishment".

Pictures of the dilapidated flat show a large section of the ceiling missing in one room, and badly stained carpets in another.

The property was valued at £15,000 and is said to have a potential rental value of £490pcm.

In an auction last year, the company sold a flat in New Cumnock for £8700 and another in Cambuslang for £10,500.

The company is known for having auctioned a flat for £1 in the past.
