The cheapest "house" is £740. I do think that this might be a typo
www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/109434530#/

This is the cheapest flat

Might not be the best idea to put your real postcode in? Unless you don’t mind putting that on the Internet?

HistoriaTrixie · 10/10/2021 00:58

I'm in a university town, so the flats are mostly student housing.

www.zillow.com/b/penn-state-towers-indiana-pa-5jBh3s/

This house seems a bit dire but it's the cheapest:

www.zillow.com/homedetails/182-7th-St-Lucernemines-PA-15754/114695072_zpid/

The cheapest more "normal" looking one is this one. It's a great location, backs right up to a state park with a lake:

Flat - www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/103571459#/?channel=RES_BUY

House - www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/113959274#/?channel=RES_BUY

Don't know if I'd really call it a house but that's the cheapest non-flat nearby

TeddyBeans · 10/10/2021 01:28

Realised it was over 55s 🤦‍♀️

House - www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/112842860#/?channel=RES_BUY

Bobsyer · 10/10/2021 01:38

House - £5000! Although it is up for auction: www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/113979518#/?channel=RES_BUY

Flat - £9500 - also for sale by auction
www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/113464619#/?channel=RES_BUY

Lots of student housing round here so I don't doubt the flat at least will be snapped up by an investor.

Bobsyer · 10/10/2021 01:41

I'd imagine cheapest not shared ownership and not auction would probably be around the £70k mark for both.

GiantKitten · 10/10/2021 02:59

Burnley is renowned for having the cheapest (most rundown) housing in the country.

ufucoffee · 10/10/2021 07:47

[quote Laquila]@ufucoffee is that common near you, houses with no kitchen? (I'm assuming there's a sink and a gas ring type set-up in the living space?) £11k is incredible!

I'm reeling from the £375k 1-bed at in Fife 😱😱😱[/quote]
No, it's been ripped out. Might have been broken into and stolen. It's a very rough area. Lots of 2 bedroom terraced auction houses starting at 5k.

DrMaryMalone · 10/10/2021 08:32

@SymbollocksInteractionism you are right but OP said 10 miles and thats what right move brings up for that search distance for my postcode....

I am definitely within 10 miles of St Andrews, Dundee and Leven are probably more like 12 miles but still not a million miles off.

icedcoffees · 10/10/2021 09:03

I'm not linking to where I live but the cheapest houses here are around 40k for a terrace (two bed) with four bed terraces going for around 60-70k.

There aren't really any flats here.

tabulahrasa · 10/10/2021 09:23

“Property can't be moving fast in Bo'ness - those pictures are from Jan/Feb!”

Aye, I noticed that... and that the cheapest house was also Bo’ness... wonder what’s so bad about Bo’ness? Lol

I’d have thought there were worse areas within 10 miles of me tbh.

SmartCar · 10/10/2021 09:51

Flat cheapest

House
www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/114112343#/?channel=RES_BUY

Hardly seems worth getting a flat over a house here

DinosApple · 10/10/2021 10:02

Studio flat £84000
House (1 bed) £120000
Suffolk/Norfolk border.

frumpety · 10/10/2021 10:46

There are some great places on here if you had the wherewithall to do them up and/or the funds to be a cash buyer.

ArblemarchTFruitbat · 10/10/2021 11:30

Excluding auctions, this is the cheapest house at £45k - it would need a lot of work doing, though:

www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/113435756#/?channel=RES_BUY

This one is habitable and it's actually a semi for £55K

www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/89089087#/?channel=RES_BUY

Flats - this studio flat can be yours for 10k and is habitable:

www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/113959682#/?channel=RES_BUY

It's cheap oop norf!

Cheating slightly as not the cheapest but very nicely done Smile

Small 2 and 3 bed houses start at 55k in Liverpool www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/112401899#/?channel=RES_BUY

You can get quite a nice 4 bed with period features for around 90k if you sift through a lot of awful ones.
