- The home in Birmingham will go up for auction on March 18
DIY enthusiasts may have found the perfect home after a three-bedroom house has gone under the hammer for just £9,000.
The two-storey terraced pad looks unassuming from the outside, with a neat front garden, and large windows. But inside, it’s a slightly different story.
Pictures of the Birmingham home show a dated kitchen with a tired floor in need of replacements.
Upstairs, there are the bedrooms – one of which is pictured, with a bright red feature wall and matching carpet.
Despite needing some TLC, the property still represents incredible value on a street where houses have sold for up to £280,000.
The property was last sold at final price for £98,000 in 2003 but it could now be worth £200,000, according to a property checker website.
When asked by MailOnline why the listing price had been set to just £9,000, the auction house said it was up to the seller to set that price.
But they said it was commonplace for final prices at auction to reach around 20 times the initial listing price, although it always depends on the day.
If the property was to fetch 20 times its fee it would sell for a final price of £180,000.
There is also a bathroom, however it is not pictured on the listing.
While the home isn’t exactly move-in-day ready, it appears to be in relatively good shape – particularly for the price tag.
The property also boasts a rear garden.
Again, the outside is in need of some TLC, with overgrown grass and plants, but has the potential to make a charming outdoor space.
Out the back, there is then the garden, where it is greatly overgrown and has old, dirty, rotting wood seating.
The property is on Milverton Road in the Erdington area of Birmingham.
Advertised on Rightmove by BP Auctions, the listing advises an inspection is recommended before moving in.
It reads: ‘The property has accommodation comprising of through lounge, kitchen, three bedrooms, bathroom, rear garden and fore garden allowing off street parking for one vehicle.
‘Conveniently situated for Erdington town centre and all its amenities the property offers easy access to motorway network links and public transport facilities.
‘The property is also set behind a driveway providing off-road parking leading to the front entrance door.
‘Bedrooms one, two, and three contain double-glazed windows to front elevation and central heating radiator.
‘The bathroom suite comprises of a bath with shower over, vanity wash-hand basin and low-level flush W.C.’
Bidding closes on March 20 at 12.35pm and is for sale by online auction from March 18 at 12.35pm.
