Three-bedroom house in Birmingham goes on sale at auction with a starting price of £1

Fancy fulfilling your dream of owning a property, without having to scrimp and save for the next decade?

You might be interested in a three-bedroom house in Acocks Green, Birmingham, that’s on sale for just £1.

The house, sat at 93 Douglas Road, looks pretty lovely from the outside, but there’s a catch. You can’t just get your dream home for a quid without some caveats.

Take a peek inside and you’ll see why it’s going on auction at such a cheap starting price.

The house has been left looking more than a little shabby, with piles of rubble in the living room, a broken toilet, torn up floorboards and a smashed up kitchen.

So it’s probably only the house for you if you’re up for a big renovation project.

If you don’t mind getting your hands dirty, the house is a good deal – it has a lot of potential.

The average property price on the same road is more than £200,000, so you’d be getting a decent location for a bargain price.

The street has shops and close links to a railway station and is just six miles from the centre of Birmingham.

The house has three bedrooms, two with original cast iron fireplaces, and one bathroom.

On the ground floor you’ll find the hallway, a kitchen, and two reception rooms.

Outside there’s a small front garden and a larger back garden.

You’ll need to use your imagination to see how lovely the home could be. Try picturing the interiors without all the smashed sinks and stained walls.

If you’re excited by the prospect of a major DIY project, you’ll need to get involved in the auction.

The terraced house is being auctioned for £1 by SDL Auctions at Villa Park, Birmingham, on Tuesday 29 October.

Valuer Neal Hume said: ‘This property may be a ghost of its former self but any serious investor will have the vision to see beyond the disrepair and imagine the possibilities.
