A derelict home dubbed ‘Britain’s filthiest' property has sold for £115,000 more than expected after it sparked a bidding war. The three-bedroom terraced house was filled with rotting rubbish, smashed furniture and holes in the ceilings and walls.
It was on the market for just £60,000 with estate agents admitting the house needed a “full refurbishment and modernisation". The neglected property had been boarded up for three years after apparently suffering from fire damage.
Social media users branded it “Britain’s filthiest home” when it went up for auction with some predicting it would struggle to sell. Despite the low expectations, the house was sold for £175,000 when it went under the hammer at Loveitts Auctioneers on Thursday.
