Getting on to the property ladder can be a difficult and daunting prospect when you don't have a significant amount of money for a deposit.
But many people choose a bargain first property to begin building up their own equity and stop losing money to the rental market.
Others seek out low-priced residential properties as an investment for that extra cash they have built up.
There are plenty of bargain properties up for grabs in Newport.
