Why is this guy a fool?

At the end of the day he's bought a three bedroom flat for only £20,000, somewhere he said he always wanted to own one.

Regardless of the £1 bollox publicity stunt, that sounds to me like a big win.

Also, from Airdrie it looks like an easy commute to either Glasgow or Edinburgh. So it seems like there's good BTL potential.

""On completion of works, this fantastic opportunity would be an ideal buy-to-let investment, offering an outstanding potential rental yield.""

Sounds like he got a great deal.

£1 was probably starting prize with reserve being a lot higher.

I like it that he did not snipe it using software on auction, now that would be deplorable.
