A BARGAIN home in Manchester has been put on the market for just £23,000, but prospective buyers are warned that moving around inside may not be easy.
The property is the cheapest in Moston, where the average home price is £174,500, but the listing makes clear that it is not ready to live in from day one.
For one thing, the self-contained flat sits on the first floor of what used to be a semi-detached house, but the building has no stairs for owners to use to get to the door.
The run-down house comes with a bricked up door and boarded-up windows, meaning buyers have their work cut out for them.
The listing could be said to be an understatement when it says the property "requires refurbishment."
It is being marketed by Auction House, which will hold an online auction to sell it.
However, as even they can't access the flat, agents say they can only "assume" its current layout and condition.
The ad for the property says: "Not inspected by Auction House North West, however assumed to comprise a first floor maisonette/flat situated on the first floor of a former semi-detached house.

Those keen on the flat can bid for it on 14 and 15 September.
