The block of flats where a teenager and his stepfather died in a mysterious fire has been put on the market with a six-figure price tag.
Police are still investigating the blaze at the 11-bedroom property in Fraserburgh’s Kirk Brae which claimed the lives of Derek Youngson and Derek Roy.
Mr Youngson, 19, and Mr Roy, 47, were in a flat in the top floor of the building when a fire broke out around noon on Hogmanay 2006.
The teenager’s mother – and Mr Roy’s former partner – Catherine Youngson believes the pair were murdered.
Mr Roy’s former partner, and the teenager’s mum, Catherine Youngson maintains that they were murdered.
Aberdeen estate agent Martin and Co is now marketing the building for offers over £420,000.
It describes the property, which will be sold as a block, as a “great investment opportunity”.
The now-repaired flats are made up of 10 one-bedroom homes and one two-bedroom apartment.
Included in the sale is the basement of the building, which “has been considered for conversion into further flats or separate gym area”.
The tenement was last on the market in 2008, when it sold for just £36,500.
Ms Youngson, who has four other children, has said that every day since her son’s death has been a “struggle”.
“I’m still grieving for my son every day,” she said.
“I love and miss him so much, and so do my children. We’re all grieving.
“I just want justice. He was so young and so full of life – funny and loving. I definitely believe it was murder. I wish I could turn back time, and I’m trying to get on with my life but it is very hard.”
Mr Youngson and Mr Roy are believed to have been overcome by smoke and fumes as they tried to escape from the flat.
The blaze broke out at lunchtime on Hogmanay and prompted a rescue operation by quick-thinking builders who had been working nearby.
Roofer John Rafferty and his team used an extendable 60ft ladder to rescue five people from the burning property.
They heard screams just as they were packing away equipment and preparing to leave.
About 30 firefighters arrived on the scene and rescued another person from the building.
They took about 40 minutes to bring the blaze under control.
Four people who were rescued were taken to Fraserburgh Hospital suffering from smoke inhalation.
At the time, one neighbour said: “It was complete pandemonium. People were climbing out through broken windows and screaming. Some of them had very little clothes on, as if they had just woken up.
“You could see people banging on their windows calling for help.
“The fire was obviously blocking their front doors and they were trapped inside. It was horrible.”
A spokeswoman for the police described investigation into Mr Youngson and Mr Roy’s deaths as “open”.
