Yahoo News The cheapest 'fixer uppers' on the Lancashire property market right now
Buying a 'doer-upper house' is an attractive option for those looking to get on the property ladder, or people wanting to flip houses for a profit.
Although these types of homes require a lot more work, they can often be bought at a much cheaper price than a new build with the potential of adding good value once renovated. Making over a tired, damaged and run down property can be a great money maker for eager investors or maybe you fancy taking on a project that you can call your own.
Lancashire is home to many such properties that just need a little TLC to bring them back up to their former glory. There are a variety of new homes on the market, from Blackpool to Colne, with prices starting from just £15,000.
