The ECHO has taken a look inside a number of properties across Liverpool which are on the market for £150,000 or less.
Getting on the property ladder is more difficult than ever, with rising interest rates and a looming cost of living crisis. These bargain homes go to show you can make the most of any space, with charming, bright interiors, splashes of colour and a peppering of bare brick.
There's a recurring theme with each home - they're all mid-terraces. However, they have stood the test of time, with many constructed for the city's workers at the turn of the 20th century.

On a tree-lined street in Tuebrook is a three-bed, one-bath home with an immaculate interior.
The Hillberry Avenue house is deceptively large, with a front reception room and a massive open plan kitchen diner to the rear.
The outside space has also been utilised to create a compact garden. On the market with Entwistle Green, £150,000 is being sought for the property.
On Hornsey Road in L4, a three-bed mid-terrace is on sale for just £135,000 with Clive Watkin. It has a number of gorgeous period features, including its fireplace in the living room with a bare brick surround.
The centrepiece of the room is lit up by the massive bay window. The wall between the reception rooms has been knocked down to create a huge family space which flows easily through the ground floor.
The master bedroom benefits from two windows, while the family bathroom has a standalone tub for added luxury. There is also a small, astro-turfed 'yarden' to the rear which really makes the most of the limited space.
This house on Chester Road in Anfield benefitted from a full makeover before being listed for sale with Whitegates for £150,000. The owner has stripped the property back and opted for a neutral grey finish.
The brand new kitchen is housed in a large bright room with ample space for a dining or additional living area, while the glossy bathroom is modern and sleek.
There's also a large yard to the rear with bags of potential to be used as a multi-functional outdoor space.
The owners of this property on Sulby Road, off West Derby Road, have created a warm and stylish entrance using patterned tiles. There are two large reception rooms to the front, benefiting from beautiful bay windows.
The kitchen truly is the heart of the home in this property, with a central island and mahogany style units. It's also just a stone's throw away from Newsham Park.
The house is on the market with Entwistle Green for offers over £145,000. The firm said it is 'an absolute credit' to the current owners.
