    The best I can find is a 2 up 2 down mid terraced with an auction guide price of under £10,000. LINK

    Good question Trev.  Your find is in Durham.

    I was going to say Stoke on Trent but a quick search revealed the cheapest property there to be £25K.

    Then I thought of Burnley, but the cheapest property I could find was £20K.

    Sunderland was another town that sprung to mind and the cheapest house I could find there was £15K.

    A study undertaken in March 2016 revealed the top 10 most deprived areas in England.

    According to the study, the 10 most deprived towns in England are:

    1. Oldham (65.2 per cent of local areas in the most deprived 20 per cent)
    2. West Bromwich (62.8 per cent)  
    3. Liverpool (59.4 per cent)
    4. Walsall (57.5 per cent)
    5. Birmingham (57.5 per cent)
    6. Nottingham (57.3 per cent)  
    7. Middlesbrough (55.9 per cent)  
    8. Salford (55.6 per cent)
    9. Birkenhead (54.5 per cent)
    10. Rochdale (53.8 per cent)

      It stands to reason that property prices here will be depressed.

    I think we have the answer to this question:

    ​During August a semi-detached house in South Hetton, County Durham, and a terraced house in the Rhondda Valley in Wales sold for £10,000 each, making them the cheapest homes in the UK to be sold last month.

    Mmm, great minds think alike. Now the quest is on to find the worlds cheapest house, so when I was looking at the latest news on Detroit housing since the big downturn and it seems the prices could be on the way up. However I did notice this one closer to New York for $5,500 LINK

    Beats a static holiday home once it's done up!

    A one-bedroom flat in Liverpool is one of the cheapest homes available to buy in the UK and it even comes with access to a communal garden.

    This ground floor, one-bedroom apartment on Crossfield Close, L7, is offered for sale via auction at a guide price of just £1 – less than the price of a National Lottery ticket.

    The property in Liverpool is set to be sold under the hammer by SDL Graham Penny Auctions and is being offered at an extremely low starting price with a view to attracting more potential purchasers.

    I have just asked the question of the Evening Chronicle about #3 on their list - I can't see any record of the sale anywhere!
