DOWNSIDE: . . . however, the property was let by a housing association so it feels lacking in character. It will need a bit of vision and elbow grease to return it to a comfortable family home.

Large property in Crewe in need of substantial repair for sale by auction on February 6
WHAT YOU GET: Three bedrooms, two reception rooms, kitchen, bathroom, backyard and cellar room.
WHERE IT IS: In John Street, a popular street in the centre of Crewe.
UPSIDE: Ideal for people who believe that families that play together, stay together: shops, schools and night life are close by, as is a brand-new cinema, bowling alley and bingo club.
DOWNSIDE: This is definitely one for the experts: the house has water damage and it has not been updated in the past 15 to 20 years, so it needs a fairly large dollop of TLC, both inside and out.
