The former offices of Petrofac at Wellington Circle south of Aberdeen are being sold at auction later this month.

Comprising a 44,426 sq ft office building which is ready for immediate occupation together with a 147-space car park, the property is being offered for sale with a guide price of £975,000.

Mhairi Archibald, of Acuitus – which is selling the property at its forthcoming auction – said: "Located on Aberdeen’s 'Motor Mile' next to the A956 and close to major car dealerships Including Tesla, this is a substantial office building with great transport links. It’s a great ‘blank canvas’ for a new owner and its three-acre site could provide future asset management opportunities."
