    "There is no catch".... There is always a catch and with this the catch is they are guide prices which means they are gong to auction and they put a stupidly low guide price to gather interest... If you look at sold prices for Elizabeth Street in Goldthorpe what you actually find is they are £35-50k, still very cheap but not £15-20k, the ones that are £5k will need £20-30k in renovations which will after they are renovated will be worth about what you put into it which is why there are so many.. It is a good example though that there are cheap houses available but not quite as cheap as this video makes out..

    The house you inquired about cannot be bought for £5000. It is up for auction, so the starting price is a suggested amount. To acquire the property, you will need to submit a bid, and the final selling price may vary between the guide price and the amount you mentioned. It's important to note that there will also be additional fees associated with the purchase.

      Hi, thanks for your comment. It’s a shame how it is at present, but the folk are just as friendly which is great. Hopefully the regeneration that is happening will boost the area. Lots of huge industrial units already built with expansion on the old Manvers pit as well as all up the Dearne Valley Parkway and what ever it is they are building in Goldthorpe now, should give the jobs market a bit of a lift too.

    As a dual citizen of both the UK (by descent) and Canada (by birth), I'll say "thanks, but no thanks." You couldn't pay me enough to live in the UK. Even if the house was free and you offered me £500k to live there, I still wouldn't move. I value my freedom too much to be able to say (and write) what I want to say online whenever I want to say it. I don't like the idea of being locked up just for speaking the truth online. Britain has gone full Hitler/Stalin (take your pick - they're both cut from the same Far Left cloth). The high taxes, high inflation, terrible weather -- no thanks! Don't get me wrong ... I don't live in Canada either. I love in a tropical country where I can express myself freely online without the threat of being thrown in jail because of it.

Our mining infrastructure took a thousand years to create and ten years to destroy. It was destroyed by design - to cripple the working class and enrich foreign oligarchs.

      Eyup Gaz. I was told that the Hyde Park area was a total no go.. I have no clue why to be honest. Obviously the folk aren’t the most affluent, but at the end of the day they are every day folk. Saying tat, it did go a bit Pete Tonge later on that day. Luckily as you can probably tell, I’d already had a skin full so it wasnt too bad, no loss of supping..lol..

    I'm from a town in the County Durham coalfield (Washington)..... When I first started primary school, there was 4 pits in the town. F-Pit, Usworth Colliery, the Glebe Pit, where me dad worked, and Harraton Colliery. By the time I left school, 11 years later, THERE WAS NONE..... Oh, BTW.... The Tories closed one, and LABOUR CLOSED THREE. So let's not get carried away with the lazy 'Maggie closed all the pits' tropes. Harold Wilson (Labour), in one parliament, closed more than twice as Maggie did in 3 parliaments. (And I'm not a Tory, Reform all the way for me).

      Nothing to do with immigration then. All self-inflicted by both Tory and Labour. The country has been a desert since the 1970s. Immigrants might be just what the country needs as the locals have screwed up big time.

      Yes, it’s a great shame that the country couldn’t produce coal cost effectively. It became cheaper to import it from Poland. It was a salient message about government trying to run industries. When it became cheaper to import coal that was the death knell for the pits.
      I’m given to understand that there is 400 years worth of coal still under our feet! If this mad dash for nett zero goes awry we may need that resource, as well as the oil and gas in the North Sea, but at what cost? We’re already importing oil and gas anyway, so all we’ve achieved so far is to move the CO2 emissions abroad.
      Still, at least the Environment Secretary can say; “it wasn’t us”. How lovely. Meanwhile we’re going to spend billions on short term solutions, and on equipment that is environmentally unfriendly, has a finite lifespan, is produced in countries that are pumping out most of the world’s carbon but, Hey - it wasn’t us!

    I've had a look at Goldthorpe on zoopla for prices like that you can only get houses that are so trashed up or in pretty poor shape looking more like a drug dealers den. And it gonna have to cost a hell of a lot of money to fo up a freh lick of paint, new bathroom and some new appliances put in. It's the same everywhere else that has extremely cheap houses selling
