A pair of neighbouring properties with guide prices of £10,000 each are coming up in auction on Wednesday, July 21.
The two-bedroomed, semi-detached homes at 58 and 60 Old Bidston Road on Birkenhead stand flush to the pavement with rear yards, although both are currently boarded up and will need complete refurbishment.
But buyers with a knack for DIY who succeed in buying both lots in the live-streamed auction will be able to save money by modernising their next-door investments at the same time.
Gurpreet Bassi, chief executive of Bond Wolfe who is facilitating the auction said: “It’s quite rare to have such reasonably priced properties available that are next to each other.
60 Old Bidston Road
“Each property has a traditional layout with reception room, kitchen and bathroom on the ground floor, and a landing and two bedrooms upstairs.
“Yes, they both need some tender love, care and attention, but they will potentially make decent homes for first-time buyers or for buy-to-let investors.”
Another potential bargain in the auction is a three-bedroomed, end-terraced house at 9 Cromdale Grove in St Helens, which has a guide price of just £15,000+.

This property is also currently boarded up and so needs some work, but it comes with central heating and double glazing inside, front and back gardens and parking for residents outside.
Also in St Helens and needing renovation is a two-bedroomed, end-terraced house with front and back gardens at 32 Waterdale Crescent, which has a guide price of £20,000+.
