Some of the cheapest auction homes set to go under the hammer have been revealed – but they’re not for the faint-hearted. These are all “fixer-uppers” so they require a lot of work before they can be lived in. This means you’ll need some serious money behind you to do them up. If you’re considering buying a property at auction, you need to do your research first. If lots of people are interested in the property, then the final bid is likely to be much higher than the guide price. Most people pay in cash, and often you have to pay a deposit up front on the day – this is usually around 10%. There are also usually extra fees to pay at auction, such as VAT and commission, -and sometimes there is a reserve price too.

The guide price – which is an indication of the seller’s minimum price they’ll accept, so you could end up paying more – starts from £5,000 with the cheapest example. You should always try and visit a property before you put in a bid.
