Crumbling house buried under overgrown jungle and full of damp sells for double its guide price

It might not look like the most appealing property but this derelict home was the centre of attention at a recent property auction as bidders fought to become its next owner. According to Paul Fosh Auctions, a dozen bidders battled to secure the house that's buried under a mass of vegetation and in need of a complete and total renovation, both inside and out.

The result was that the house, listed with a guide price of £32,000, and located in Skewen, near Neath, sold for just under double that. The 61 bids shot the final purchase price up to £63,500.
