Looking for property at a bargain price?
This two-bedroom home may not be the most glamorous, but at £40,000 you'd have to admit it makes your money go pretty far.
Located in Benson Place, Byker, it was the cheapest house in Newcastle available on popular property site Rightmove at time of writing.
It certainly does need some updating, but all the basics are there.
The ground floor houses a lounge and a kitchen/dining room, while upstairs there are two bedrooms, one of which has been split into two to create a third room, a bathroom and a separate WC.
The house, which lies within the famous Byker Wall development, also has a small garden to the front.
If you could put up the standard 10% deposit (£4,000) your monthly mortgage costs would only be around £160.
Or the place might appeal to a landlord who could put up the cash to refurbish the property.
That's the view of estate agents Your Move, who say: "In our opinion with a full refurbish this property would make an ideal buy to let investment."

If you're after something even cheaper, there are flats going in and around the city for even less, with a one-bedroom flat in Forest Hall going under the hammer with an auction price of £27,000.
