oh my. such an eye opener. I love this thread. With the amount of money in question, you wouldn't be able to by a shed where I live.

If I can have a £5,000 deposit, then how about this one near the lake district?

Recently refurbished as well. And the letter box next door is quaint.

Easington Colliery has one of those confusing Google Streetview slum clearance pictures.

The inset map shows rows of terraces, yet there is open grassland.

Looks like a repo. Certainly needs a refurb, so breaks the rules. Look at that bathroom: no toilet seat and what looks like a shower removed from the wall.

I missed the bathroom problems but it's not what I'd call a refurb - you're being picky!

Well there is this http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-26880019.html marked as requiring some modernisation so may be cheating but when you look at it it just looks dated rather than riddled with problems so a possible modernise one room at a time thing. Also this http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-27128170.html. Again the same. Both Fife 4 ish miles from train station and a 30 ish minute commute into Edinburgh.

If I can get a 5k deposit http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-15316122.html but in reality even fixed price you could probably get another couple of k off

Or This http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-26943184.html 45k for a 3 bed end terrace?? No idea on the area other than its Fife http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballingry

If you don't mind getting jammed between the loo and the basin - the shower room's only 4'6" wide!

A little over budget at £49,950 but this looks ok.

And you'd have me just over the road as a neighbour!
