One Year On TH-cam!
It is raining too much at the momen to continue with my of my current projects. So I thought I would celebrate being on TH-cam one year by looking back at the worst cheapest houses I have viewed since starting this channel.
So this video is my top 5 worst/cheap houses. It takes me all over the country from houses that look like they could maybe be salavaged, to houses that you shouldn't be allowed to walk in.
Do let me know which house you think is the worst, allthough I feel there is a clear winner...
I've had a great year making content, and I thank you all so much for watching. I never expected this channel to be enjoyed by so many people but I am buzzing that you all seem to like it.

These houses should really be free, it’s the community that suffers with this kind of neglect.
Feel sorry for the neighbours, as these places are likely going to damage theirs too.
The burnt house was absolutely ridiculous and anyone who'd pay 10,000 for that would be mad! It would cost about £80,000 just to fully repair it all. The person who offered to pay £35,000 for it never viewed it beforehand, lol. It looks like a house off Fallout 3.
Depends on the location. You are probably not meant to repair it. It may be beyond repair if it is fire damaged, water damaged and full of fungus. You are meant to tear it down and build a new house. Think of it as buying a plot that happens not to be empty.
@@fomobull4187 So you're essentially cleaning up someone's failed insurance scam. Don't forget you also have to pay to demolish it, see if there was any contaminated materials (ie asbestos, lead) present on the former structure and then the nightmare that is actually building a new house. all of that would be well over 50 times the amount that you'd bought it. TDLR just buy a vacent lot of land
It's atrocious that the estate agents haven't been around the houses. The industry is packed with some of the worst people. Only recruiters and car salesmen come close.
They don't care. All they want is their commission!
$ versus $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ 😊
Don’t forget politicians 😮
@@richardpiva3892and bankers
Estate agents are all crooks, shady salesfolk all are, looking for that commission, won't tell you half of what's wrong if you don't ask.
Would be interesting to see if anything has changed to these houses on a revisit in 6 months or so.
It would take more than 6 months to sort these places out, they should be demolished.
I saw the first one is set to be auctioned online this Thursday. Nothing has changed with the house itself. Feel bad for the fool who buys it.
Their lost and their greed.@@derp2438
The first one, Pritchard street in 2022 got £46,000 in an auction, that's seems crazy to me.
I can't see how they can make these properties safe to live in.@@WooWoo-co4jf
I live down the road from the Edlington properties, both the ones in this video and the related past ones.
Repairing or demolishing these properties and building new ones is a fruitless endevour. The houses will be broken into before its finished or squatted and vandalized if left empty for any period of time. You'll also have the luxury on living on some of the worst streets in the city.
Lets put it this way: If you forcibly evicted everyone on those streets, those property values would increase x5 over night and they'd be bought within the week....and therein lies the true reason for unsellable £5k properties...
Thanks for the reminder. I was initially thinking if buying these house cheap and cleaning it out and full scale renovation would be good for living in. But as you have reminded the neighbourhood is critical in maintaining the property value as well
Maybe they should just be demolished then and replaced with nothing but a path or parking spaces.
"you've got a lawn on the wall!" - 🤣🤣
Gotta love Doncaster's entry!
It's terrible the estate agents don't check the properties that they are selling first, what would happen if someone was injured in one of the properties? Where would the estate agents stand then?! Another top video, thanks Wandering Turnip
I was going to say the same thing. I was a property manager in Australia and I have seen a few trashed houses, but nothing in comparison to these. The agent should have dashed outside and turned the main water off. No property should ever get this bad. Somebody isn't doing their jobs and I am surprised the neighbour's don't lose the plot by having neighbours like this.
The agents don’t always have control but you’re absolutely right, the water should have been turned off before they showed people round! In all honesty, the fees on something like this would be that low, the agent probably has no interest in it!
I’ve dealt with houses like this as an agent and if it has been repossessed they are quite often just left to be sold as seen.
I frequently wonder what an estate agent's job even is, apart from unlocking the front door for you. Of all the houses I've viewed in the UK I've never once felt like an estate agent was giving me a tour of the house, and they rarely ever know any key details about the property.
@@Zerobob26 I agree and yet the fees they charge are extortionate!
That boiler really did it for me. It wouldn’t be so hard to turn it off at the mains, the council should be responsible for that & I’m sure any other council would do the exact same thing. Cheers for the video, really eye opening on the price & quality of British homes
Thieves probably stole all the copper piping, damaging the boiler in the process.
All Councils are bothered about is Direct Debits coming in.
Some of these houses look like they'll infect you with something unpleasant after viewing them. Whether you're breathing in any mould, asbestos or worse...
Love your videos but they just break my heart! I can’t believe anyone could have possibly lived in some of these places :(
Yeah crazy isn’t it
i got one from a 93 year old man..
the rats was running on the table and the rain was comming through the roof
he got corona and his place was put for sale while he was in the hospital..
(he is alive and well today and lives in a nice place)
It’s absolutely disgraceful they showed you round a house with NEEDLES !!! laying around. I saw them as soon as you walked in! Then again on the stairs. That’s so dangerous! They have no regard for their clients or their own health . Please complain to their head office. I’m glad you weren’t hurt during that viewing
The bedroom in the London flat is shocking, you be better off using the front room like a studio and using the tiny bedroom as storage. 300k though, what a bargain! 😂
I couldn’t help but comment.
I am stunned that you have been allowed inside these houses! I’m an estate agent and we would NEVER let anyone inside these houses! It’s so dangerous!
Just so shocked.
You have even hit many headlines in the tabloids. Your a credit and we like your videos better than Coronation Street.
Love that fact that in the final house, there are some files neatly placed on a shelf surrounded by chaos. Probably a log of when the crop is ready for harvesting 😉
Haha I though exactly the same 😂
Lol 😂
Dereliction is awful, but it fascinates me.
Same. I could have chosen nice houses to look 😂😂😂
Wow, you Northerners are so house proud.
Thanks Wandering Turnip for exposing them
I used to live opposite a grow house that had a fire. Some cowboys came and patched it up and sold it to an unsuspecting 1st time buyer who had nowt but trouble with soot and smells seeping back to haunt him. Imo it would cause less trouble if they just legalised it. At least ppl wouldn’t be playing silly boggors with the electrics everytime!
Estate agents are the worst. Can’t be bothered with anything except their commission.
Hard to believe that this land was once an example to the world. Appalling !!
.
They're not even really houses any more...
I love your videos, you are doing amazing work. I haven't visited the U.K. since 2001 and my father emigrated here to Australia in 1959. We have both deeply bonded over watching your videos, no matter how much it breaks mine and my poor dad's heart due to his youthful memories of dear Old Blighty and the modern reality... Thank you so much Dave.
Ahh well thanks to both you and your dad for watching I appreciate it a lot 👍👍👍
Love the “never mind the garden, you’ve got a lawn on the wall in here” 😎
Having lived about 2 streets from bayswater, I can tell you that's a steal for the area. Madness.
Just looked on right move the burnt down house is up for auction on the 26 October 2023😮
Wow, next week! Wonder what it'll fetch this time.. 🤷🏻♀️
I used to work for Virgin Megastores and the day we opened a new store in Middlesbrough we had more stolen by shoplifters on opening day than happened in over a month in a regular northern store like Sheffield or Leeds. Absolute sh@@hole. Will never go back.
You just made that up
@@ianmcconnell12 I did not. It was a harrowing day. We got hit hard. Everyone was too busy watching 911.
@@rlacombeVirgin megastore opened in 1999,i can remember it opening.
I love your videos! I'm in Canada and it's interesting seeing real estate in the UK and not just the posh places. That is insane the estate agent didn't take a look at these properties before letting people walk through, especially with the syringes exposed.
my stomach was turning
Great re-visit! I just knew which house would make the number 1 spot! 😱 Up for grabs again too.. 😆
It can be a sad, sad world.
Youve done amazingly well to get to 50k in a year, most people struggle for years to get to those numbers, says a lot about you and your videos! ❤
Had a laugh at the "why would you show anyone around here" and getting flash backs to when I spent a short time working at an estate agents many years ago.
Prep for the agent was nil. Just turn up with keys and let people in. I saw some similar states to this. Agent and viewer would be given photos of before some scumbags moved in and trashed the place. Itd look half xecent. You'd get there and it'd be a nightmare.
Worst was probaby a house with a room just like 9:31. (I thought i'd seen the only person who has made their own rabbit room!) The one i saw, just like that. Full of rabbit shit and sawdust. Bedroom with dirty underwear on the floors. Shit filled toilet. Best was downstairs though. A half eaten roast chicken or turkey left on the kitchen top to rot. Kitchen cabinet doors all ripped off. Utterly vile.
Geez... that place with the water pissing out everywhere from that broken pipe... you'd think the owner would have contacted the local authority to get the water cut off.
We have a problem in central Middlesbrough with the housing over the town area , a lot of foreigners outside of the uk have purchased a lot of property’s as they are cheap and nothing ever gets done with them , that house over laycock street has been empty for a long long time now and I think the houses over that side of town will just get bulldozed off in the end
My old carer paid 350'000 for a house with a swimming pool that flat is a madness
Love your videos! From the terrible conditions of the houses you rated, they should be ‘auctioned’ for free, just to get someone to fix it, and perhaps improve the quarter/area. Thank you
Just found your channel mate, not gonna lie clicked on a random video on the home page not expecting to stay for a 30 minute video at all but your videos are so interesting! Your personality on camera just makes the videos enjoyable to watch too man! Must’ve watched like 4 videos start to finish now and gonna check them all out eventually! Subscribed and can’t wait to keep watching your content! Glad I found your channel bro!
Ah well thank you so much for tuning in and enjoying my stuff 😃 I’ve got a good one dropping later this afternoon so keep an eye out 👍👍
Keep the variety coming
Estate Agents are despicable aren’t they. Nice size garden😂 Taking photos with a 2005 Nokia if the house is wrecked.
😂😂😂 so true. It’s actually hard to take a picture that bad
@@wanderingturnip it’s the sort of picture people take when they see Bigfoot🤣
Mate, love all the videos and I will certainly keep my eye out for the next one, thank you for your interesting content :)
These houses are sad. That flat in London makes the flat I rent look luxurious. Feeling rather grateful at the moment.
Edited to add that I can't believe that they let you walk around the house that made it to the top of the list. It was really dangerous. I feel appalled 😮
i cant believe he went inside..
ofcourse they show it to people, i buy these kind of thing my self..
why even walk inside, this is a house that need to be taken down, you can see it from the outside.
and this is not ment to be lived in again.
this is a plot with sewage and water instalations and maby electricity and gas (and that cost more then they ask for)
why you get the plot with instalations so cheap, is because you have the cost of taking down a building
Congratulations on your first anniversary. 🎉🎊
Your content is very interesting. Especially the abandoned places and houses.
Thank you very much. Wish you all the best. 🍀
Goggle street maps has a newer image of 51 laycock street middlesbrough and the whole roof is off now!!
Got to feel sorry for the people on either side they must be getting so much damp.
its not been removed its fallen into the house the £10,000 is a bit over the top when its going to cost a heck of a lot more to put it right especially since its been in this state for too long & everythings waterdamaged aswell as fire damaged
love your videos,i find them fascinating to watch,i used to work as an apprentice tradesmen with the local authority and even back then i couldnt believe the squalour some people lived in
Its only been a year?... Love your videos... Don't stop wandering... 😁✌
Hope you take the hard hat for future house viewings and not just pre-demo chimneys! Loving your work.
I once lived in Donnie and I knew that #2 was in Edlington. Nearly all the houses in that street are empty and boarded up.
Just came across your channel mate. I want to say thank you for producing content that is not only interesting and that you're passionate about, but you're not seeing pound signs and thinking of how to make money on this. Of course you deserve that, but not being a typical "TH-camr", going on about sponsors and merch makes you refreshing on here. You've more than earned a sub from me. Keep up the great work.
5:35 Quality duct tape repair job on the bath that, good as new!
Great video mate. Cannot believe you were allowed to walk around those houses with needles and structural damage! Incredibly unsafe for viewers and the estate agents.
when my fater got dementia the council kept on his rental bissness, and i got is back with structual damage and needles all over..
and no one have payd rent for almost 2 years, my father was paying for 7 peoples home and water and electricity...
this is how they run the show
they removed me as close relative from the papers (his own son) because i complained
i was not at his funaral or death they would not tell me it happened, thanks to their shady bissness
Hey David we look forward to watching your videos. You are very brave to go into some of those places without protective gear on! Keep making these videos. Have you considered doing one on poor quality new estates? There are plenty of shockers around. I'm sure people would be interested in seeing some.
Happy 1 Year
A year already? Wow! Love your style and output, as they're really refreshing.
Another variable in old mining areas is subsidence, but for pete's sake, some warning when you're going into a dangerous structure wouldn't go amiss. I lived in a place where the ceiling came in and the sash windows had picture glass.
You've earned your like!!
Loved your video. How about doing a video on residential caravan sites?
Top quality content
Love your videos, so much so that I’ve commented
Mindbending!!!
I need to stop watching TH-cam when I eat my tea
😂😂
Councils really need to be buying up these cheap properties, having teams of builders, roofers, window fitters, carpenters, electricians, plumbers and plasterers etc. do the necessary work to bring these dwellings back into use and then rent them out as social housing to families who have been waiting years for a place to live. Even if that means that a London council buys up dozens of properties in Middlesbrough or Burnley (etc.). In the long run it will save money compared to the insane amount of money being paid out in housing benefits to private landlords and hotels.
Like a true TH-camr , making new content with old footage. Great way to try get more traffic to your channel. Perfect commentary and I look forward to new videos to come (with new footage 😂)
Great idea imo. Five bad houses all together in one new vid. Tons of new subs constantly arriving so he's doing something right for sure 👍
It's all about Desolation, Desolation, Desolation!
I am shocked that Estate Agents seriously expect people to buy these death traps.
Somebody took a punt on the Laycock Street, Middlesborough house and threw £36,000 down the sewer.
I think the buyers are out to make a quick buck , but losing out. Not sad about that as property developers are preventing people buying.@@eattherich9215
Well of course, they expect people who want to renovate it and sell it for profit, not regular families to move in right away lmao
And also, drug dealers... hence why a lot of them already were uses as weed growing houses. If there's at least one room that you can live in and running water/electricity, also can be a trap house. Not much more then that.
They are beyond repair.@@aw2584
House number 2- knocking that extension is the first thing you do no question. I have seen bad extensions with damp issues but that… that’s a breed of it’s own
Hello my dear brother very nice beautiful thank you so much so in the property video I'm from London
another super video ...keep up the good work
Thanks again!
I absolutely love these cheap houses videos and look forward to seeing more.
Thanks for watching 😀
My first property was a repossessed flat and it was a shit hole, the ceiling had hole the floor had holes and everything needed replacing. It was a hard 6 month as a 23 year old but a great learning process and it got me on the property ladder. People need to look beyond pristine properties and look at potential. Most things you can do yourself other than the electrics and plumbing (unless you had some form of training and can get it signed off).
more of these please!
Got a good one coming soon…
Love your videos!
All Guide prices, would be nice to know what they actually sell for.
Good channel, congrats on the 1 year
Thank you! 😀
Hi mate, just found your channel and watched a few videos Amazing quality and well deserved a sub.
Thanks for watching 👏👍👍
I think scrappers had that boiler of the wall
In fairness the London flat is very much an investment property. A developer will snap that up, renovate it and sell for a huge profit. Or get a high yield on the rental market.
Congratulations on your first year. Your short made me laugh when someone asked if you was the wandering ferret 😂😂😂
😁
You know it’s bad when the ruined house in the woods at Staups Mill doesn’t make the top 5 😂 I would definitely rather live there on a sunny lounger than some of these.
I think it comes as a great shock when it comes to houses like these, some of them stay abandoned for years, even for estate agents it would be a shocker too, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England
Love these you have great channel 😊 very interesting
Thank you so much!
The reference of the 350k flat where 350k would buy a proper house up north shows the real north/ south divide
Blackbern has alot of bourded up houses if you were looking for more palces to go :)
That Doncaster house could be done up for £10k but it would still be in Doncaster.
No way! Some of the walls would need a complete redoing, that growth in them is simply not feasible to just scrap off and throw few layers on the wall and job done. No way it would be that cheap to redecorate and live in it safely.
i use to live in doncaster & that street the house is on is earmarked for demolition the place its at is known as edlington its an old pit village & the houses were'nt built properly so in time when tennants moved out the council started to demolish streets & build new houses in the place of the old ones its been happening all over doncaster
Can you do an update about whether the last house re-sold and how much for? Wild.
Love the channel.
😀
that london flat is an ideal size for a single person like me. nice size to heat up in the winter. quick to clean. there's all sorts of different people who want different things from their home so good to see there's a variety of homes.
Is 300K the ideal price though?
Absolute horror show, amazing research and results, roll on 2024’s list!
As town-dwellers moved out to the then-newly-built suburbs, the urban areas went into decline, family houses being bought up by private entities to be shoddily converted into rental bedsits and flats. This utilitarian approach ever-cheapened the housing stock, perpetuating a downward spiral. Regarding Middlesbrough, in particular: various plans have been put forward over the decades to try to turn things around but little has come of them.
I understand my guy, I’m very sensitive to smells.
It can make me not breathe as much in normal air.
Like I breathe in half the much I usually do, like it just stops me breathing through my noise.
Great video, awful bloody houses mate, 😅
Just stumbled across your channel and i’m not only horrified at the sights but also gagging along with you in what I can imagine are hideous smells. Absolutely shocking. There are a lot of messed up people out there who actually live this way and bring their children into this.
That first house looks absolutely redeemable for relatively low$$ and hard labour 😊
I grew up near no3 on the list as did a lot of my friends & family. That used to be a nice area until 20 year ago with a lot of professional people living there.
It is a shame how my hometown Boro has become over the past 20-30 years. Drugs, immigration and crime and part of society not giving a crap.
Congratulations on your first year, I've enjoyed every single upload.
How do estate agents sleep at night?
Ah cheers for enjoying them all 👍
1,000 subs per week! Congrats WT
I didn’t think of it like that, very cool 😀
That video is the stuff of nightmares.
To get 50k subscribers in a year is amazing mate, nice work!
Keep doing what you do!
Btw, there’s no excuse for any of these, but I think the worst is the London one, purely because of how much it is, in the state it’s in.
At least the others aren’t even past 50k never mind 300.
You could by all the others together several times over.
Not like I’d have any of them for a fiver.
Cheers for watching mate 👍😀😀
@@wanderingturnip my pleasure matey!
If you did the 'box flat' up, it might be quite nice, it's like the estate agents say, it's location.
4:20 middlesbruh 😂
That one in London at no.4 cost a lot more than my brand new 4 bed cost me in Wales.
I know it’s London but no thanks!
Nuts isn’t it
Bit of fire damage 😂
