And is it good value for you?
For me £38k and you would pro probably have to spend another £38k to make it liveable?

Sounds too cheap, what is the catch?

No catch.
If i go onto rightmove there are a number of properties priced in the 20s.

Its just not everywhere in the country is crazy expensive.

What price were they bought for?

£75K one bed cottage needing full renovation, with questionable ownership of the garden.

Elsbells22 · 03/04/2026 19:59

17k one bed flat, home report valuation of 50k.

ObligateAerobe · 03/04/2026 20:02

£70k for a studio flat in a very bad state of repair, on an LA estate with a bad reputation for anti-social behaviour.

yonem · 03/04/2026 20:03

For any property - £40k for a flat with only 75 years left on the lease

For a house - £185k starting price for an auction, cash only due to nonstandard construction

Cheapest property you could actually get a mortgage on - £90k for a studio flat that’s less than 20 sq m

Spacie · 03/04/2026 20:04

Ignoring flats and park homes, £160k for a 3 bed terrace in need of updating. Cash buyers only as it's non standard construction

TurnipsAndParsnips · 03/04/2026 20:08

£270,000 for a studio flat in Bloomsbury or a 1 bed flat in Streatham.

sodabreadjam · 03/04/2026 20:17

£48,000 for a two bedroom flat in North Lanarkshire. It is actually in nice condition but the exterior isn't very appealing and neither is the area. Zoopla seems to stretch the five miles quite a bit - this flat is 8 to 10 miles from me.

Tequilamockinbird · 03/04/2026 20:19

£15k guide price for a 1 bedroom flat going to auction

YerMotherWasAHamster · 03/04/2026 20:23

338,000 is the cheapest 3 bed.

CornedBeef451 · 03/04/2026 20:36

Cheapest is £150k in need of some updating, highest is £5 million.

DizziLizzy · 03/04/2026 20:41

250k 1 bed house no garden or parking

CatherinedeBourgh · 03/04/2026 20:46

Actual house and not park home or apartment 300k for 500sq ft
Looks quite nice though.

begonefoulclutter · 03/04/2026 20:47

Small 1-bed ex-council flat for £110k.

V small 2-bed Victorian terraced house in need of refurbishment £180k.

CatherinedeBourgh · 03/04/2026 20:48

Next up is 425! The 300k one will go fast I think.

JBJ · 03/04/2026 20:53

£45k for a 1 bed ex LA flat in a block in a hideous area.

Goriously · 03/04/2026 20:54

£18k for a one bed flat in need of some modernisation.

£75k for a one bed terrace house.

Add on £100k to those houses if they were in local areas you would want to buy/live in.

KeepPumping · 03/04/2026 21:00

If someone is selling a flat for 18k, how much did they buy it for?? Without links though there is no real context, area/price history/potential problems etc.

@KeepPumping I don't know why you find it so hard to believe a small terraced house in poor repair in a deprived part of a cheap part of the country could be selling for so little. I checked the one near me (I'm in the NE) and the asking price is about 30% higher than it was over 20 years ago. House prices didn't move round here for over 10 years post the 2008 crash so that doesn't surprise me at all (we sold our last house for 10% more than we bought it for after living there for 15 years). Cheap housing means people can have security even on a low wage. Personally I find it obscene that some people have quoted prices that are more than my 4 bed period property in a nice area. How do people ever get on the property ladder? Or are people going to start moving to the NE because it's better to own your own home here while earning minimum wage than to be stuck in a tiny rented flat in an expensive area while earning a high salary?

Setting aside shared ownership, retirement flats, lock up garages and plots of land with no planning, £70k for a poky one bed in a dodgy area

Yes, I"m all for cheap housing, the best thing for working people is cheap housing, the biggest scam ever perpetrated on the working class ( apart from getting them to believe their sweat was only worth minimum wage) was the cheap debt housing bubble where it became normal to outbid each other on basic property with borrowed money! One of the silliest episodes in British history by a country mile.

BlackBean2023 · 03/04/2026 23:15
