The housing market is wide and far and offers nearly everything imaginable, from castles to cottages and more.

But not all houses are ready to move into as some need a little work before they can become functioning family homes.

Although these fixer-uppers might seem a bit daunting with all the work that needs to be done, they can be a bargain.

Many head to auction at around a quarter of the price compared to similar houses in the area.

This includes this once-loved home near Bromley that is now in need of some work and is priced at £225,000 on Zoopla.

The three-bed semi-detached house is close to local amenities from shops to transport links and has a large rear garden too.
