Three-bed home hits market for just £42,500 - but there's a rather grimy catch

A three-bed terraced house has just hit the market for a meagre £42,500, but there's a rather grimy catch.

The property in Walsall, Birmingham, comes complete with boarded and smashed windows, a bathroom ridden with black mould and a smoke alarm dangling from the ceiling.

The price is certainly enticing, but you'll need to be a real fixer-upper to take this property on, as the bathroom is also covered in dirt and debris.

There's not much left of the kitchen floor, but the remains are covered in grime. The garden has also been left in a sad state, as there's no grass left to be found. It also features a rusty panel left by the door.

Thinks look a bit more colourful as you enter the bedroom, thanks to the vibrant wallpaper. Unfortunately, it's peeling off, exposing dirt and grime.

The living room of the house has been used as a dumping ground, as it's filled with rotten furniture including two filthy armchairs.

The property will be up for auction on April 20 and is expected to sell at £42,500, but prospective buyers will have their work cut out.

The Rightmove listing reads: "Situated within a short walk of Walsall town centre, this end terraced property is in need of complete modernisation and improvement.

"The well-planned living accommodation comprises of a reception hall, L-shaped lounge, kitchen, utility area, three bedrooms and bathroom."

You must book an appointment to get a viewing and the auction will be held at Walsall Football Club from 6pm on the day.
