Two-bedroom home on sale for just £37,000 – but a sign on the wall warns you’ll have your work cut out
A TWO-bed home has gone up for auction for just £37,500, but a sign on the wall warns any potential buyer about what needs doing to it.
The end of terrace property in Grimsby, Lincolnshire, might be ideal as a doer-upper as the house certainly needs lots of attention.
Anyone taking a look around won’t be able to miss the word ‘HELP’ scrawled in large letters on the living room wall.
The buyer might be getting a bargain at such a cheap price but they’ll certainly have their work cut out as some floors and ceilings are missing, a new bath needs fitting and the back garden needs some attention too.
With such a low asking price – plus a reservation fee of 4.2 per cent – the freehold property is seen as an “investment” by Pygott & Crone, which is marketing the property.
A description on Rightmove says: “Situated within easy reach of Grimsby Town Centre and amenities is this spacious end terrace home.
“Offered for sale with NO FORWARD CHAIN. The property would make an ideal investment or project for anyone who is of a practical persuasion.
“Upon entry you are greeted by an Entrance Hallway that leads through to the Dining Room.
“This central Dining Room has an adjoining Lounge to the front of the property and Kitchen to the rear.
“Upstairs are the two Bedrooms and Family Bathroom. The main Bedroom is equipped with a shower.

“There is a garden to the rear of the property and it features double glazing and a gas central heating system.
“Internal viewings are recommended to see the potential this property has to offer."
Earlier this month, a three-bed home went on the market for just £25,000 but once again there was a reason it was so cheap.
The property near Pontypridd, Wales, is certainly in need of renovation, but homeowners looking for a project will be eager to flip it into a hefty profit.

Inside, it needs extensive renovation and modernisation.
But the work inside the property is nothing compared to the job to be done outside, with shrubs so wild they have burst through the kitchen walls and through empty window panes.
