14-room house being sold for just £30,000 – but there’s a catch

Planning to buy a house? You could bag a 14-room property for just £30,000.

But, as you might’ve guessed, there’s a catch.

The end-of-terrace home in Blackpool has an impressive three floors, and from the outside, it doesn’t look to be in the worst condition.

However, once you get past the fairly modern front door, it’s clear that the low property price has been set for good reason.

Inside, the new owner will have to tackle not only dated decor but problems that include holes in the walls, mould, peeling wallpaper and even an area of the ceiling that appears to be partially caving in.

The house, described as needing “a full program of refurbishment”, is being auctioned with a guide price of £30,000 – plus the £1,500 administration charge.

The property comprises a fourteen-room end-of-terrace building arranged over lower ground, ground and two upper floors,” the description reads.

The property requires a full program of refurbishment.

“The property is situated on a residential road close to local shops and amenities.

“The open spaces of Watson Road Park Playground are within easy reach. Transport links are provided by Blackpool South rail station.”

But if you can look past these issues and more, there is potential here – the home even has 10 en-suites.

With Blackpool being one of the UK’s most classic seaside destinations, it’s possible that this property could make a great investment for a future hotel or B&B.

Or perhaps a fantastically large family home.

Given that the average terraced property in Blackpool sells for around £118,084, according to Rightmove, the downsides could almost certainly be worth it for a future owner.
