A small mouldy two-bed house in London with a badly damaged kitchen and the ceiling falling in is on the market for an eye-watering starting price of £785,000.
The property, attached to the end of a four storey building in Belsize Park, North London, has been left in a state of disrepair. But, despite the end-of-terraced cottage needing major refurbishment over both floors, it has been listed with a starting price of more than three-quarters-of-a million pounds at auction.
Average terraced properties in Belsize Park - not far from swanky Hampstead and trendy Camden - can fetch nearly £2million, and semi-detached homes can reach more than £3m. Pictures of the property showed a large living room in which the walls are blackened with mould.
