If you've made it your mission to get on the property ladder in Bristol this year but house prices and mortgage rates seem to have other ideas, you may well be considering buying at auction and getting your hands dirty with a fixer-upper. Unfortunately, sometimes it can seem as if every property in Bristol has already had all its development potential wrung out of it several times over.
However, there are still opportunities to be found for those that have the skills to take advantage of them. From keeping your eyes peeled for the worst house on a good street or keeping an open mind about odd pockets of land in excellent locations, even in Bristol, there are still possibilities to add value and your own stamp if you're willing to put up with the inconvenience and costs of renovations or building work.
We've dug up a few great prospects that are on the market right now, which, with a little imagination and a lot of handy work, could be transformed. Many of the properties on this list are available at auction, and not all may be mortgageable, but for the right buyer, we think they could be a bargain.
