House Buying Doesn’t Have To Be Expensive

Many aspiring homeowners in the UK find themselves priced out of the market and left with no other choice but to rent a property or continue to live with friends or relatives. There’s no disputing that the recession hit the housing market hard but prices are once again buoyant and it’s denying a large number of people from making their first steps onto the property ladder.

Perhaps those left disappointed by house prices in their area should venture to South Wales where a tiny terraced house recently went under the hammer at a guide price of just £8,000!

Situated in Brynmawr, Blaenau Gwent, the building contains one bedroom, a lounge and kitchen, front and rear garden, UPVC double glazing, satellite dish, staircase and is within staggering distance of the local pub, offering nearby access to the A465 Heads of the Valleys link road.

It also has a toilet, only it’s housed at the bottom of the garden and the house itself needs a considerable amount of tidying up and renovating to make it liveable.

It’s not the first time the property has been put up for sale as it was sold as recently as August last year for a far more substantial £16,500.

Cheaper homes have been made available in the past such as a two-bedroomed property in Burnley from 2013 which had a starting price of a mere £1,000.

Restoration of the building would have required significant investment but it unfortunately didn’t sell and hence couldn’t claim the title of the UK’s cheapest house.

If you’ve been looking to move but can’t afford it then why not improve upon what you already have and make your existing home even more special.
You can do that by having a conservatory, orangery or a brand new set of windows or doors fitted by Conservatory, Window and Door Outlet.
