Those who are strapped for cash but looking to get on the housing market, might want to consider a doer upper property.
Up for auction at £220,000, this particular property is Rainham's cheapest house on Zoopla - but it is a serious project.
With three bedrooms, a kitchen and a living room, the mid-terraced home has potential although likely to need some refurbishment work.

It sits in South End Road and is close to transport links via Elm Park and Rainham stations.
Schools such as St Alban's Catholic Primary School and Whybridge Infant School are also within half a mile, as are shops and other amenities.

From the images on Zoopla, it seems the home still has working mains electricity.
The terraced house has some eye-catching features: the front room walls are a sunny yellow, the bathroom has statement tiles and one of the bedrooms has a deep maroon colour scheme.

The property has front and back gardens, which are both in need of some TLC.
Auction House London has already run several appointments throughout July, and the public auction is set for July 31 at 9.30am.
