One Year On KZfaq!
It is raining too much at the momen to continue with my of my current projects. So I thought I would celebrate being on KZfaq one year by looking back at the worst cheapest houses I have viewed since starting this channel.
So this video is my top 5 worst/cheap houses. It takes me all over the country from houses that look like they could maybe be salavaged, to houses that you shouldn't be allowed to walk in.
Do let me know which house you think is the worst, allthough I feel there is a clear winner...
I've had a great year making content, and I thank you all so much for watching. I never expected this channel to be enjoyed by so many people but I am buzzing that you all seem to like it.
If you wish to support this channel, you can do so via patreon or buy me a coffee, both links are above. That support means I can keep this channel indepedent from and I can make content about absolutely anything I want.
You're all Legends!

The burnt house was absolutely ridiculous and anyone who'd pay 10,000 for that would be mad! It would cost about £80,000 just to fully repair it all. The person who offered to pay £35,000 for it never viewed it beforehand, lol. It looks like a house off Fallout 3.

Depends on the location. You are probably not meant to repair it. It may be beyond repair if it is fire damaged, water damaged and full of fungus. You are meant to tear it down and build a new house. Think of it as buying a plot that happens not to be empty.

@@fomobull4187 So you're essentially cleaning up someone's failed insurance scam. Don't forget you also have to pay to demolish it, see if there was any contaminated materials (ie asbestos, lead) present on the former structure and then the nightmare that is actually building a new house. all of that would be well over 50 times the amount that you'd bought it.

I live down the road from the Edlington properties, both the ones in this video and the related past ones. Repairing or demolishing these properties and building new ones is a fruitless endevour. The houses will be broken into before its finished or squatted and vandalized if left empty for any period of time. You'll also have the luxury on living on some of the worst streets in the city. Lets put it this way: If you forcibly evicted everyone on those streets, those property values would increase x5 over night and they'd be bought within the week....and therein lies the true reason for unsellable £5k properties...

I was going to say the same thing. I was a property manager in Australia and I have seen a few trashed houses, but nothing in comparison to these. The agent should have dashed outside and turned the main water off. No property should ever get this bad. Somebody isn't doing their jobs and I am surprised the neighbour's don't lose the plot by having neighbours like this.

The agents don’t always have control but you’re absolutely right, the water should have been turned off before they showed people round! In all honesty, the fees on something like this would be that low, the agent probably has no interest in it! I’ve dealt with houses like this as an agent and if it has been repossessed they are quite often just left to be sold as seen.

Had a laugh at the "why would you show anyone around here" and getting flash backs to when I spent a short time working at an estate agents many years ago. Prep for the agent was nil. Just turn up with keys and let people in. I saw some similar states to this. Agent and viewer would be given photos of before some scumbags moved in and trashed the place. Itd look half xecent. You'd get there and it'd be a nightmare. Worst was probaby a house with a room just like 9:31. (I thought i'd seen the only person who has made their own rabbit room!) The one i saw, just like that. Full of rabbit shit and sawdust. Bedroom with dirty underwear on the floors. Shit filled toilet. Best was downstairs though. A half eaten roast chicken or turkey left on the kitchen top to rot. Kitchen cabinet doors all ripped off. Utterly vile.

As town-dwellers moved out to the then-newly-built suburbs, the urban areas went into decline, family houses being bought up by private entities to be shoddily converted into rental bedsits and flats. This utilitarian approach ever-cheapened the housing stock, perpetuating a downward spiral. Regarding Middlesbrough, in particular: various plans have been put forward over the decades to try to turn things around but little has come of them.

It was a hard 6 month as a 23 year old but a great learning process and it got me on the property ladder. People need to look beyond pristine properties and look at potential. Most things you can do yourself other than the electrics and plumbing (unless you had some form of training and can get it signed off).

Councils really need to be buying up these cheap properties, having teams of builders, roofers, window fitters, carpenters, electricians, plumbers and plasterers etc. do the necessary work to bring these dwellings back into use and then rent them out as social housing to families who have been waiting years for a place to live. Even if that means that a London council buys up dozens of properties in Middlesbrough or Burnley (etc.). In the long run it will save money compared to the insane amount of money being paid out in housing benefits to private landlords and hotels.

You have to remember that a lot of our housing stock had no bathroom when originally built. The addition of a bathroom often went downstairs rather than sacrificing a bedroom upstairs BUT modern slumlords in the making, squeeze in a downstairs bathroom and turn what was the bathroom into another bedroom for maximum rental yield.

Somebody took a punt on the Laycock Street, Middlesborough house and threw £36,000 down the sewer.

I think the buyers are out to make a quick buck , but losing out. Not sad about that as property developers are preventing people buying.@@eattherich9215

Well of course, they expect people who want to renovate it and sell it for profit, not regular families to move in right away lmao

And also, drug dealers... hence why a lot of them already were uses as weed growing houses. If there's at least one room that you can live in and running water/electricity, also can be a trap house. Not much more then that.

The reference of the 350k flat where 350k would buy a proper house up north shows the real north/ south divide

that london flat is an ideal size for a single person like me. nice size to heat up in the winter. quick to clean. there's all sorts of different people who want different things from their home so good to see there's a variety of homes.

That Doncaster house could be done up for £10k but it would still be in Doncaster.

No way! Some of the walls would need a complete redoing, that growth in them is simply not feasible to just scrap off and throw few layers on the wall and job done. No way it would be that cheap to redecorate and live in it safely.

I think it comes as a great shock when it comes to houses like these, some of them stay abandoned for years, even for estate agents it would be a shocker too, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England
