convert or sell?

I'll tell my Vietnamese mates to look out for it in the estate agents, they will fill it full of stinky weed and rig the leckie.

That's a long way to go to find some mates. Perhaps you should try changing your banter.

My one-bed is though. It's the bottom half of one of those converted detached sandstones villas with garden all the way round. It's the posh man.

I can see the Sherbrooke hotel from where I am sitting.

Houses are posh, flats not so posh, one bedroom flats definitely not posh.

Pollokshields is the posh, west end is full of students.

As has been said by others, but also to add there are 3 bedroom flats in the west end on that list for less than you are claiming you will get for a one bedroom flat in the tulipehole that is Pollokshields.

I don't understand.

If that was a set of LET properties I could believe it. It looks more like a list of unfulfilled chancers to me...

+1, I'd understand if it was the Olympics, Wimbledon or the World Cup but come on the Commonwealth games is hardly up there with those events!

FFS, you talk some amount of absolute tulipe.

I don't understand.

I've asked the tenant to leave before the end of July, could let it for £10k over the commonwealth games, which would pay for the conversion. Or that's the thinking.

I've got a one-bedroom flat in Glasgow. Lets for £615 PCM. A few years back we discovered a basement area under the lounge, full of builders waste. I paid someone to clear it out and install a hatch. It's the size of another room. Anyone have experience of converting a basement and the costs involved?

Call the council, pay for a pre-planning assessment (something like £100) , where a planning officer will come round and advise you on how to convert and meet all building control requirements.

Sounds like a decent return already though.

And check that there will be demand for a basement room.
