Well, I tried, but down yer in Deb'n, there bain't much for £45k.

Best I could come up with was this one with good views:

I thought this garage with outline PP looked good till I saw where it was...

And for an interesting business venture I was most taken with this:

that one's number 17, not listed on LR. Looks nice.

The whole road's been cheap forever: http://www.houseprices.co.uk/e.php?q=Cadogan+Street%2C+North+Ormesby%2C+Middlesbrough+TS3&n=10

Look at Google streetview - if you read the house details there's no parking, no rear entrance, no garage.... yet nobody has a car. Going round the back I can see there is a rear entrance way, gated off - but not room for a car in the back yard.

Small supermarket supermarket nearby, larger one only about a mile away, local shops and takeaways (and a bingo hall & pub lol) good transport links, town centre within walking distance (about 25 mins on foot) and most people park on the street

Auction date on that one was last month ... obviously didn't sell then.... oops, just spotted it's under offer so it did sell.

Still on propertybee it is now showing as a 900% increase so no doubt Hamish will be quoting it as an example for one of his 'theories'!

Yes, it's £275,000 now

They must have spotted all the interest we had in it - and put the price up

Following on from that one, I ended up in the auction files... and there was one house up for auction at £50k that was tenanted at £624.45/month!!! An unbelievably high rent for a 2-up-2-down terrace.

But it IS in Corby...they are an odd lot around there.

Actually Hamish would be at home there, is it not in the main populated by ex-pat Jocks ?

Not the nicest house I've ever seen, but under 45k!

It is a lot of house for the money, but have you seen the boarded-up ones around there on Streetview? Doesn't bode well...:(

I thought I'd found the winner at £30k. Ready to move into, great garden shed/summerhouse, two(?) garages

Then I spotted it's 25% ownership - how on earth does that work on a house that old then? I thought SO's were new builds from the past 20 years or so.

All I can see wrong with it is a damp problem, not such a good SO deal as the cost of fixing that's disproportionate to the amount you're buying.
