Inside Greater Manchester's cheapest house that's just £35k - but it comes with a big warning

It is very rare in today's day and age that you will come across a house for less than £100,000, but one property in Greater Manchester has gone on the market with a bargain £35,000 price tag. The mid terraced house in Bolton is currently the cheapest house up for sale in the region - but there's a catch.

The home may be super cheap but it comes with a warning that any interested buyers are unable to view the property prior to buying it. This is because the house has been extensively damaged in a fire therefore it would be dangerous to arrange any viewings.

The future owner will have to take on a huge renovation project to restore the property to a habitable home before they can even think about moving in - so this purchase is not one for the faint hearted.

Situated on Leigh Road in Westhoughton, the terraced house has two bathrooms but the number of bedrooms isn't stated on the listing.

The home is severely damaged inside and has been left in a derelict state, so the layout and number of rooms currently in the property is not clear. It does however come with a small yard to the rear.
