The ceilings are collapsing, the exterior walls are bowing and the stairs are a health and safety nightmare. To make matters worse the kitchen is buried under a mountain of empty plastic milk bottles and the shower in the corner needs to be condemned.
There's also damp everywhere, the floors are rotten and, oh yes, no one's so far been able to find out where the toilet's supposed to be. But with a measly £10k price tag - very likely making it the cheapest house in Wales - maybe this neglected three bed, end-of-terrace property in Tylorstown in the Rhondda isn't as bad as it first appears.
Certainly, if you know what you're doing it when it comes to DIY, it may be far less daunting a prospect than it first seems. Especially if you're someone like Gavin Thomas.
