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

aaah! but that sounds like a doer-upper, which I though were not allowed in the rules...;)

More importantly I think you should be asking why anyone earning just above minimum wage should be allowed to borrow £45,000 to buy a house. That's the kind of money someone with a years experience at McDonald's might earn at the age of 18.

Isn't this the kind of irresponsible lending that people are jumping up and down about?

Would you lend a school leaver £45k of your money?

It's also a "normal wage" for many more mature people. In fact, I can't even find a job at £15k within 20 miles of my house right now to even apply for ... and I'm well over 18.

Bought for £38k in December 2003: http://www.houseprices.co.uk/e.php?q=11+Gored+Terrace%2C+Melincourt%2C+Neath&n=10

And looking at the pictures it's now been repossessed... hard to imagine how you could come unstuck with just £38k owing.

found one:

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.

5 bed in Croydon for 27.5k - sadly I suspect it may be a miss-price.

Yes, it's £275,000 now

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

You could buy in that road at £10-12k in 2000: http://www.houseprices.co.uk/e.php?q=+Vine+Street%2C+Widnes+WA8&n=100

Both abit over budget but everyone else has cheated abit lol!

You could get one of those for £15k in 2000.

That's some HPI... most expensive one ever was £84k, which is almost a 6-fold increase in price.

Good old Jaywick comes up trumps:

http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-10616553.html (three beds )
http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-29397989.html (only £35k but appears to have a front door for a side gate)

Look serviceable. Just don't step outside your front door and you'll be fine. And mostly non-standard construction in Jaywick so mortgages may be an issue.

How many single people earning £15k do you know who live alone in their own (owned) house?
