Anyone looking to get a cheap home or start a DIY project in the region could land themselves an absolute bargain.
A home in County Durham is being auctioned off with a starting price of just £1 but obviously, there's a catch.
The mid-terraced two bedroom property is described by the agents as being “in need of full refurbishment”.
So the successful bidder had better be good at DIY or prepared to invest in a project if they land the Bishop Auckland property.
23 Brook Street is being sold by Bond Wolfe Auctions on Tuesday.
Gurpreet Bassi, chief executive of Bond Wolfe Auctions, said: “This is a classic fixer upper and perfect for someone who is looking for a project.
“It really is a blank canvas. The kitchen and bathroom both come with no fittings and the Energy Performance Rating of G offers scope for improvement.”
The freehold property stands flush to the pavement at 23 Brook Street and has a rear yard.
The property will go under the hammer at Bond Wolfe Auctions next sale on Tuesday 10 September at 10.30am at the regular venue of the Holte Suite at Aston Villa FC.
Another property with a starting bid of £1 is 13 Margaret Street, Ludworth , which is not far from Shotton Colliery, County Durham.
The three bedroom property has both a yard and a garage but has been subject to fire damage.
There are also two nearby properties with a nil reserve.
The first is 9 Henry Street South, Murton , an end terrace two bedroom home which "requires a full program of refurbishment."
The second is 5 Argent Street, Peterlee , a mid terraced three bedroom home which again needs a complete refurbishment.
