Summary
A crumbling council house in Bothwell, with cracks, uneven floors, and major structural flaws, is costing over $162,000 to fix—more than double its market value at $87,000. The South Lanarkshire Council is now weighing whether to sell it as-is, reinvesting proceeds into housing programs, while hoping to offset the loss by buying back other properties. Built in 1960, the property’s issues were flagged by a tenant and confirmed by a full assessment, despite neighboring homes appearing stable.
