The cheapest house sale in the whole country in November was a Northumberland terraced home.
East Lea, in Newbiggin-By-The-Sea, is home to the £15,000 terrace that sold on November 19, becoming the cheapest sale across England and Wales, according to the Land Registry.
While Kensington and Chelsea, in London, was the location of the most expensive sale (a £49.6m property), several North East homes appeared on the bottom ten list for the country, with houses in Sunderland and County Durham also selling at bargain basement prices.
