A scheme that allows people to by a house for just £1 has led to some stunning results.
Several dilapidated properties in Liverpool have been completely transformed into incredible dream homes as part of the innovative 'Homes for a Pound' scheme. The project was launched in 2015 and lets people, who are struggling to save for a deposit, purchase a house for £1, before using their own money and resources to bring it back to life as part of an agreement with the local council.
There were 2,500 applications received for just 106 houses in the Webster Triangle neighbourhood, after a trial in the Granby area of the city. It gained national attention and in 2018 was the subject of a Channel 4 documentary series.
