A former methodist church in North Lincolnshire is under the hammer later this month.

The guide price is £80,000 - £90,000.

The chapel in Vicarage Lane, Cadney, near Brigg, DN20 9HR, has full planning permission for change of use into residential accommodation and for a detached garage to be built alongside.  

Over a dozen local properties including cut-price four bedroom houses with remarkable views of Lough Swilly, the Atlantic and the River Foyle will be auctioned off in Dublin on Wednesday, July 8.

The properties - including lots from St Johnston, Manorcunningham, Burnfoot, Carndonagh, Culdaff, Castlefin and Letterkenny - will go under the hammer in the Allsop auction in the RDS.

All have asking prices of less than 100,000 euros.

For example, a four bedroom detached house located at Tooban Upper, Burnfoot, overlooking Inch Island and the Swilly is being offered for a minimum of 50,000 euros

Hope you're all sitting comfortable, preferably next to a FAN!

To begin with today, I've got a rather charming little one bedroom end of terrace property for you in Somerset.  Often it tends to be the big spacious family homes that I'll share with you on our blog at UKAL, but once in a while I'm reminded that good things really do come in small packages.

This is a lovely little cottage, and while it's one bedroom means it's not suited to the expanding family, it is however perfect for grandparents, and also parents of grown up kids whom have flown the next. While there's only that single

A South Wales valleys terraced house which was among the cheapest in Britain when it was put up for sale with a guide price of £7,000 has sold at auction for £27,000.

Located at 36 Oak Street in Clydach Vale, Tonypandy, the forlorn-looking, three bed terrace has boarded up front windows, a wrecked downstairs bathroom, ripped up bedroom floorboards and an overgrown garden.

It was snapped up by a Leeds-based motor mechanic at Paul Fosh Auctions last week.

Sean Roper, of Newport-based Paul Fosh Auctions, said: “There was loads of interest generated prior to the auction with lots of people coming

Record numbers attended Romans’ first summer auction of the year, at the Green Park Conference Centre in Reading. The packed sales room and competitive bidding resulted in 92% of the lots selling at or above their guide prices.

“Competition between investors and owner occupiers was very much in evidence today, which drove prices up to some extremely good levels” comments Simon Clayton, Romans’ Auctions Director.

“There was an enormous appetite for properties requiring renovation or with investment potential, and it was a case of simply not having enough stock to supply the demand. This is

A patch of pavement in Islington, north London has sold at auction for a hefty £125,000, from a reserve price of just £4,000.

The 560 square foot patch, in a busy central location by Camden Passage, used to contain a building and has been in private ownership since 1968.

Last week, the lot sold to another private buyer - though it is unclear how the investor will use the patch, which sites near the market stalls, cafes and shops of Camden Passage.

Chris Coleman-Smith, head of Savills auctions, said: "This unusual patch of land offered auction bidders the opportunity to invest in Islington for

Wow it's hotting up already and not even 11am!  I'm going to share a couple of my favourite future auction lots before heading out into the sunshine!

So the first one for you is a really quirky development opportunity in Gainsborough. One of those 'Grand Designs' type of projects. You're starting off with a striking and unique style Water Tower, and thanks to the planning permission, the end result is expected to be a single dwelling in the building itself, with a further two dwellings created on the grounds.

I really love this one, and not just because it's so unusual and different for a

It's all about lovely Leicestershire!

First one I've got for you this time is a lovely 4 bed three storey town house. Really quirky exterior to this one, and it looks very well maintained overall, so will be ready to move right into for the owner occupier. It is pretty much a blank canvas throughout, so is ideal for someone looking to find a home they can really make their own... but it was those fabulous splashes of colour amidst the expanses of neutral white throughout that really drew my attention to this one.

While it's perhaps more subtly done having that small area of red wall in the
