It's atrocious that the estate agents haven't been around the houses. The industry is packed with some of the worst people. Only recruiters and car salesmen come close.
Car salesman come second to vehicle insurance especially in Britain, Lose your brand new car it doubtful the insurance will cover same year same model you can make up the difference
I live down the road from the Edlington properties, both the ones in this video and the related past ones. Repairing or demolishing these properties and building new ones is a fruitless endevour. The houses will be broken into before its finished or squatted and vandalized if left empty for any period of time. You'll also have the luxury on living on some of the worst streets in the city. Lets put it this way: If you forcibly evicted everyone on those streets, those property values would increase x5 over night and they'd be bought within the week....and therein lies the true reason for unsellable £5k properties...
Thanks for the reminder. I was initially thinking if buying these house cheap and cleaning it out and full scale renovation would be good for living in. But as you have reminded the neighbourhood is critical in maintaining the property value as well
The burnt house was absolutely ridiculous and anyone who'd pay 10,000 for that would be mad! It would cost about £80,000 just to fully repair it all. The person who offered to pay £35,000 for it never viewed it beforehand, lol. It looks like a house off Fallout 3.
Depends on the location. You are probably not meant to repair it. It may be beyond repair if it is fire damaged, water damaged and full of fungus. You are meant to tear it down and build a new house. Think of it as buying a plot that happens not to be empty.
@@fomobull4187 So you're essentially cleaning up someone's failed insurance scam. Don't forget you also have to pay to demolish it, see if there was any contaminated materials (ie asbestos, lead) present on the former structure and then the nightmare that is actually building a new house. all of that would be well over 50 times the amount that you'd bought it. TDLR just buy a vacent lot of land
It's terrible the estate agents don't check the properties that they are selling first, what would happen if someone was injured in one of the properties? Where would the estate agents stand then?! Another top video, thanks Wandering Turnip
I was going to say the same thing. I was a property manager in Australia and I have seen a few trashed houses, but nothing in comparison to these. The agent should have dashed outside and turned the main water off. No property should ever get this bad. Somebody isn't doing their jobs and I am surprised the neighbour's don't lose the plot by having neighbours like this.
The agents don’t always have control but you’re absolutely right, the water should have been turned off before they showed people round! In all honesty, the fees on something like this would be that low, the agent probably has no interest in it! I’ve dealt with houses like this as an agent and if it has been repossessed they are quite often just left to be sold as seen.
I frequently wonder what an estate agent's job even is, apart from unlocking the front door for you. Of all the houses I've viewed in the UK I've never once felt like an estate agent was giving me a tour of the house, and they rarely ever know any key details about the property.
That boiler really did it for me. It wouldn’t be so hard to turn it off at the mains, the council should be responsible for that & I’m sure any other council would do the exact same thing. Cheers for the video, really eye opening on the price & quality of British homes
i got one from a 93 year old man.. the rats was running on the table and the rain was comming through the roof he got corona and his place was put for sale while he was in the hospital.. (he is alive and well today and lives in a nice place)
Love that fact that in the final house, there are some files neatly placed on a shelf surrounded by chaos. Probably a log of when the crop is ready for harvesting 😉
I used to live opposite a grow house that had a fire. Some cowboys came and patched it up and sold it to an unsuspecting 1st time buyer who had nowt but trouble with soot and smells seeping back to haunt him. Imo it would cause less trouble if they just legalised it. At least ppl wouldn’t be playing silly boggors with the electrics everytime!
I couldn’t help but comment. I am stunned that you have been allowed inside these houses! I’m an estate agent and we would NEVER let anyone inside these houses! It’s so dangerous! Just so shocked.
I love your videos, you are doing amazing work. I haven't visited the U.K. since 2001 and my father emigrated here to Australia in 1959. We have both deeply bonded over watching your videos, no matter how much it breaks mine and my poor dad's heart due to his youthful memories of dear Old Blighty and the modern reality... Thank you so much Dave.
I love your videos! I'm in Canada and it's interesting seeing real estate in the UK and not just the posh places. That is insane the estate agent didn't take a look at these properties before letting people walk through, especially with the syringes exposed.
Some of these houses look like they'll infect you with something unpleasant after viewing them. Whether you're breathing in any mould, asbestos or worse...
Had a laugh at the "why would you show anyone around here" and getting flash backs to when I spent a short time working at an estate agents many years ago. Prep for the agent was nil. Just turn up with keys and let people in. I saw some similar states to this. Agent and viewer would be given photos of before some scumbags moved in and trashed the place. Itd look half xecent. You'd get there and it'd be a nightmare. Worst was probaby a house with a room just like 9:31. (I thought i'd seen the only person who has made their own rabbit room!) The one i saw, just like that. Full of rabbit shit and sawdust. Bedroom with dirty underwear on the floors. Shit filled toilet. Best was downstairs though. A half eaten roast chicken or turkey left on the kitchen top to rot. Kitchen cabinet doors all ripped off. Utterly vile.
We have a problem in central Middlesbrough with the housing over the town area , a lot of foreigners outside of the uk have purchased a lot of property’s as they are cheap and nothing ever gets done with them , that house over laycock street has been empty for a long long time now and I think the houses over that side of town will just get bulldozed off in the end
It’s absolutely disgraceful they showed you round a house with NEEDLES !!! laying around. I saw them as soon as you walked in! Then again on the stairs. That’s so dangerous! They have no regard for their clients or their own health . Please complain to their head office. I’m glad you weren’t hurt during that viewing
Love your videos! From the terrible conditions of the houses you rated, they should be ‘auctioned’ for free, just to get someone to fix it, and perhaps improve the quarter/area. Thank you
Great video mate. Cannot believe you were allowed to walk around those houses with needles and structural damage! Incredibly unsafe for viewers and the estate agents.
when my fater got dementia the council kept on his rental bissness, and i got is back with structual damage and needles all over.. and no one have payd rent for almost 2 years, my father was paying for 7 peoples home and water and electricity... this is how they run the show they removed me as close relative from the papers (his own son) because i complained i was not at his funaral or death they would not tell me it happened, thanks to their shady bissness
Just found your channel mate, not gonna lie clicked on a random video on the home page not expecting to stay for a 30 minute video at all but your videos are so interesting! Your personality on camera just makes the videos enjoyable to watch too man! Must’ve watched like 4 videos start to finish now and gonna check them all out eventually! Subscribed and can’t wait to keep watching your content! Glad I found your channel bro!
Just came across your channel mate. I want to say thank you for producing content that is not only interesting and that you're passionate about, but you're not seeing pound signs and thinking of how to make money on this. Of course you deserve that, but not being a typical "RUclipsr", going on about sponsors and merch makes you refreshing on here. You've more than earned a sub from me. Keep up the great work.
Also about Huddersfield council this time They so cash strapped in October 23 they can't afford Christmas trees for Huddersfield Yet just spent £300,000 on 3 humongous 3 story's high White Planters in Huddersfield Town Centre THAT ABSOLUTELY NOBODY ASKED FOR COME FAST TO HUDDERSFIELD AS THEY STILL BEEN INSTALLED
My first property was a repossessed flat and it was a shit hole, the ceiling had hole the floor had holes and everything needed replacing. It was a hard 6 month as a 23 year old but a great learning process and it got me on the property ladder. People need to look beyond pristine properties and look at potential. Most things you can do yourself other than the electrics and plumbing (unless you had some form of training and can get it signed off).
A year already? Wow! Love your style and output, as they're really refreshing. Another variable in old mining areas is subsidence, but for pete's sake, some warning when you're going into a dangerous structure wouldn't go amiss. I lived in a place where the ceiling came in and the sash windows had picture glass. You've earned your like!!
The bedroom in the London flat is shocking, you be better off using the front room like a studio and using the tiny bedroom as storage. 300k though, what a bargain! 😂
Like a true RUclipsr , making new content with old footage. Great way to try get more traffic to your channel. Perfect commentary and I look forward to new videos to come (with new footage 😂)
Congratulations on your first anniversary. 🎉🎊 Your content is very interesting. Especially the abandoned places and houses. Thank you very much. Wish you all the best. 🍀
Geez... that place with the water pissing out everywhere from that broken pipe... you'd think the owner would have contacted the local authority to get the water cut off.
You find in Middlesbrough a lot landlords come from London and abandon there houses once the tenant leaves and buildings across TS1 Gresham and north ormesby and southbank in TS1 jomast own way to many to manage and look after I am lucky enough to live in Marton next to Stewart's park so don't experience this part of the council's plan to show these areas the houses you visited was to knock them down and rebuild them they got possession orders but ran out of money in 2015.
Wow, next week! Wonder what it'll fetch this time.. 🤷🏻♀️

Hey David we look forward to watching your videos. You are very brave to go into some of those places without protective gear on! Keep making these videos. Have you considered doing one on poor quality new estates? There are plenty of shockers around. I'm sure people would be interested in seeing some.
love your videos,i find them fascinating to watch,i used to work as an apprentice tradesmen with the local authority and even back then i couldnt believe the squalour some people lived in
Goggle street maps has a newer image of 51 laycock street middlesbrough and the whole roof is off now!! Got to feel sorry for the people on either side they must be getting so much damp.
its not been removed its fallen into the house the £10,000 is a bit over the top when its going to cost a heck of a lot more to put it right especially since its been in this state for too long & everythings waterdamaged aswell as fire damaged
House number 2- knocking that extension is the first thing you do no question. I have seen bad extensions with damp issues but that… that’s a breed of it’s own
I used to work for Virgin Megastores and the day we opened a new store in Middlesbrough we had more stolen by shoplifters on opening day than happened in over a month in a regular northern store like Sheffield or Leeds. Absolute sh@@hole. Will never go back.
that london flat is an ideal size for a single person like me. nice size to heat up in the winter. quick to clean. there's all sorts of different people who want different things from their home so good to see there's a variety of homes.
As town-dwellers moved out to the then-newly-built suburbs, the urban areas went into decline, family houses being bought up by private entities to be shoddily converted into rental bedsits and flats. This utilitarian approach ever-cheapened the housing stock, perpetuating a downward spiral. Regarding Middlesbrough, in particular: various plans have been put forward over the decades to try to turn things around but little has come of them.
To get 50k subscribers in a year is amazing mate, nice work! Keep doing what you do! Btw, there’s no excuse for any of these, but I think the worst is the London one, purely because of how much it is, in the state it’s in. At least the others aren’t even past 50k never mind 300. You could by all the others together several times over. Not like I’d have any of them for a fiver.
I understand my guy, I’m very sensitive to smells. It can make me not breathe as much in normal air. Like I breathe in half the much I usually do, like it just stops me breathing through my noise.
In fairness the London flat is very much an investment property. A developer will snap that up, renovate it and sell for a huge profit. Or get a high yield on the rental market.
I grew up near no3 on the list as did a lot of my friends & family. That used to be a nice area until 20 year ago with a lot of professional people living there.
Just stumbled across your channel and i’m not only horrified at the sights but also gagging along with you in what I can imagine are hideous smells. Absolutely shocking. There are a lot of messed up people out there who actually live this way and bring their children into this.
I think it comes as a great shock when it comes to houses like these, some of them stay abandoned for years, even for estate agents it would be a shocker too, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England
You should do a video about BANKS IN HUDDERSFIELD Everywhere across UK backs are disappearing cash points are disappearing Yet Huddersfield just keeps getting more and more Banks opening up HSBC Huddersfield is making a Huge investment in its new 2024 branch opening up in Kingsgate Shopping Arcade
You have to remember that a lot of our housing stock had no bathroom when originally built. The addition of a bathroom often went downstairs rather than sacrificing a bedroom upstairs BUT modern slumlords in the making, squeeze in a downstairs bathroom and turn what was the bathroom into another bedroom for maximum rental yield.
These houses are sad. That flat in London makes the flat I rent look luxurious. Feeling rather grateful at the moment. Edited to add that I can't believe that they let you walk around the house that made it to the top of the list. It was really dangerous. I feel appalled 😮
i cant believe he went inside.. ofcourse they show it to people, i buy these kind of thing my self.. why even walk inside, this is a house that need to be taken down, you can see it from the outside. and this is not ment to be lived in again. this is a plot with sewage and water instalations and maby electricity and gas (and that cost more then they ask for) why you get the plot with instalations so cheap, is because you have the cost of taking down a building
4.57 the Middlesbrough one, that's a supermarket milk delivery/display cage, they come off the lorry, into the shops fridge and out for sake. Egg does someone want that for.
The other Middlesbrough, number 1 in your list will have caused a lot of damp to it's neighbours, I'm gob smacked they let you in, I doubt builders would have let you in
Councils really need to be buying up these cheap properties, having teams of builders, roofers, window fitters, carpenters, electricians, plumbers and plasterers etc. do the necessary work to bring these dwellings back into use and then rent them out as social housing to families who have been waiting years for a place to live. Even if that means that a London council buys up dozens of properties in Middlesbrough or Burnley (etc.). In the long run it will save money compared to the insane amount of money being paid out in housing benefits to private landlords and hotels.
this is shocking to watch letting people in with all the mess left there. my mother rented her house out and the lady smashed it up not nice when it happens nice to watch what is really going on
I urbex far worse places, but yeah, you wonder why sometimes. I’m disappointed you didn’t use some form of countdown music for this :) Anyway, another good video.
London prices are crazy. The other houses could be turned into something reasonably nice with a bit of work. Whether the area is worth investing money to renovate them is another matter
There are plenty of long-abandoned mansions on The Bishops Avenue, aka "Billionaires' Row", in central London literally at least as bad as these more modest dwellings, and they've been featured in the national press at least as far back as 2014, most recently this year (2023), including, in July, one which was completely gutted in an inferno of a fire.
350k for that tiny pokey flat! In my northern town you can buy a three bedroom semi detached house for £130k! When I bought my house 11 years ago it was £70k. It's value now is around £130k. It's a three bedroom, 50s built semi, around 1800sq ft, it has 75ft driveway, a detached garage and a large rear garden.
The British and Americans are very greedy. They are Capitalists! This is at the level of the Reptilian Aliens. Entire cities are empty and reduced to ruins. And they think: “Damn, how can I make money from the homeless?” Just like that, all these Irish Travelers and Americans sleeping in cars appeared. (And what do they sell for 300-500 thousand? Shit. Frame house or Block kennel for dogs)
These houses should really be free, it’s the community that suffers with this kind of neglect.
"you've got a lawn on the wall!" - 🤣🤣
Gotta love Doncaster's entry!
Would be interesting to see if anything has changed to these houses on a revisit in 6 months or so.
It would take more than 6 months to sort these places out, they should be demolished.
I saw the first one is set to be auctioned online this Thursday. Nothing has changed with the house itself. Feel bad for the fool who buys it.
Their lost and their greed.@@Mezzala9
The first one, Pritchard street in 2022 got £46,000 in an auction, that's seems crazy to me.
I can't see how they can make these properties safe to live in.@@WooWoo-co4jf
It's atrocious that the estate agents haven't been around the houses. The industry is packed with some of the worst people. Only recruiters and car salesmen come close.
They don't care. All they want is their commission!
$ versus $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ 😊
Don’t forget politicians 😮

I used to work for Virgin Megastores and the day we opened a new store in Middlesbrough we had more stolen by shoplifters on opening day than happened in over a month in a regular northern store like Sheffield or Leeds. Absolute sh@@hole. Will never go back.
You just made that up
@@ianmcconnell12 I did not. It was a harrowing day. We got hit hard. Everyone was too busy watching 911.
@@rlacombeVirgin megastore opened in 1999,i can remember it opening.
that london flat is an ideal size for a single person like me. nice size to heat up in the winter. quick to clean. there's all sorts of different people who want different things from their home so good to see there's a variety of homes.
Is 300K the ideal price though?
Mate, love all the videos and I will certainly keep my eye out for the next one, thank you for your interesting content :)
Love your videos, so much so that I’ve commented
another super video ...keep up the good work
Thanks again!
Hi mate, just found your channel and watched a few videos Amazing quality and well deserved a sub.
Thanks for watching 👏👍👍
As town-dwellers moved out to the then-newly-built suburbs, the urban areas went into decline, family houses being bought up by private entities to be shoddily converted into rental bedsits and flats. This utilitarian approach ever-cheapened the housing stock, perpetuating a downward spiral. Regarding Middlesbrough, in particular: various plans have been put forward over the decades to try to turn things around but little has come of them.
Hard to believe that this land was once an example to the world. Appalling !!
.
To get 50k subscribers in a year is amazing mate, nice work!
Keep doing what you do!
Btw, there’s no excuse for any of these, but I think the worst is the London one, purely because of how much it is, in the state it’s in.
At least the others aren’t even past 50k never mind 300.
You could by all the others together several times over.
Not like I’d have any of them for a fiver.
Cheers for watching mate 👍😀😀
@@wanderingturnip my pleasure matey!
I understand my guy, I’m very sensitive to smells.
It can make me not breathe as much in normal air.
Like I breathe in half the much I usually do, like it just stops me breathing through my noise.
In fairness the London flat is very much an investment property. A developer will snap that up, renovate it and sell for a huge profit. Or get a high yield on the rental market.
I grew up near no3 on the list as did a lot of my friends & family. That used to be a nice area until 20 year ago with a lot of professional people living there.
1,000 subs per week! Congrats WT
I didn’t think of it like that, very cool 😀
Loved your video. How about doing a video on residential caravan sites?
Estate agents are the worst. Can’t be bothered with anything except their commission.
It's all about Desolation, Desolation, Desolation!
Congratulations on your first year. Your short made me laugh when someone asked if you was the wandering ferret 😂😂😂
😁
Just stumbled across your channel and i’m not only horrified at the sights but also gagging along with you in what I can imagine are hideous smells. Absolutely shocking. There are a lot of messed up people out there who actually live this way and bring their children into this.
beauty of england
I think it comes as a great shock when it comes to houses like these, some of them stay abandoned for years, even for estate agents it would be a shocker too, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England
All Guide prices, would be nice to know what they actually sell for.
more of these please!
Got a good one coming soon…
You should do a video about BANKS IN HUDDERSFIELD
Everywhere across UK backs are disappearing cash points are disappearing
Yet Huddersfield just keeps getting more and more Banks opening up
HSBC Huddersfield is making a Huge investment in its new 2024 branch opening up in Kingsgate Shopping Arcade
It's definitely a pet hate of mine when the bathroom/loo is off the kitchen 🤢
You have to remember that a lot of our housing stock had no bathroom when originally built. The addition of a bathroom often went downstairs rather than sacrificing a bedroom upstairs BUT modern slumlords in the making, squeeze in a downstairs bathroom and turn what was the bathroom into another bedroom for maximum rental yield.
These houses are sad. That flat in London makes the flat I rent look luxurious. Feeling rather grateful at the moment.
Edited to add that I can't believe that they let you walk around the house that made it to the top of the list. It was really dangerous. I feel appalled 😮
i cant believe he went inside..
ofcourse they show it to people, i buy these kind of thing my self..
why even walk inside, this is a house that need to be taken down, you can see it from the outside.
and this is not ment to be lived in again.
this is a plot with sewage and water instalations and maby electricity and gas (and that cost more then they ask for)
why you get the plot with instalations so cheap, is because you have the cost of taking down a building
4.57 the Middlesbrough one, that's a supermarket milk delivery/display cage, they come off the lorry, into the shops fridge and out for sake. Egg does someone want that for.
The other Middlesbrough, number 1 in your list will have caused a lot of damp to it's neighbours, I'm gob smacked they let you in, I doubt builders would have let you in
Blackbern has alot of bourded up houses if you were looking for more palces to go :)
Councils really need to be buying up these cheap properties, having teams of builders, roofers, window fitters, carpenters, electricians, plumbers and plasterers etc. do the necessary work to bring these dwellings back into use and then rent them out as social housing to families who have been waiting years for a place to live. Even if that means that a London council buys up dozens of properties in Middlesbrough or Burnley (etc.). In the long run it will save money compared to the insane amount of money being paid out in housing benefits to private landlords and hotels.
Top quality content
Happy 1 Year
Congratulations on your first year, I've enjoyed every single upload.
How do estate agents sleep at night?
Ah cheers for enjoying them all 👍
If you did the 'box flat' up, it might be quite nice, it's like the estate agents say, it's location.
this is shocking to watch letting people in with all the mess left there. my mother rented her house out and the lady smashed it up not nice when it happens nice to watch what is really going on
I urbex far worse places, but yeah, you wonder why sometimes. I’m disappointed you didn’t use some form of countdown music for this :) Anyway, another good video.
I enjoyed this video. I used to live in Pritchard Street, Burnley where the first house in this video was. Awful place!
It is a shame how my hometown Boro has become over the past 20-30 years. Drugs, immigration and crime and part of society not giving a crap.
Love the channel.
😀
Absolute horror show, amazing research and results, roll on 2024’s list!
Can you do an update about whether the last house re-sold and how much for? Wild.
Back in the 90s you could buy houses in some areas of Sheffield for cash for a few grand
London prices are crazy.
The other houses could be turned into something reasonably nice with a bit of work. Whether the area is worth investing money to renovate them is another matter
There are plenty of long-abandoned mansions on The Bishops Avenue, aka "Billionaires' Row", in central London literally at least as bad as these more modest dwellings, and they've been featured in the national press at least as far back as 2014, most recently this year (2023), including, in July, one which was completely gutted in an inferno of a fire.
350k for that tiny pokey flat! In my northern town you can buy a three bedroom semi detached house for £130k!
When I bought my house 11 years ago it was £70k. It's value now is around £130k. It's a three bedroom, 50s built semi, around 1800sq ft, it has 75ft driveway, a detached garage and a large rear garden.
The British and Americans are very greedy. They are Capitalists! This is at the level of the Reptilian Aliens.
Entire cities are empty and reduced to ruins. And they think: “Damn, how can I make money from the homeless?”
Just like that, all these Irish Travelers and Americans sleeping in cars appeared.
(And what do they sell for 300-500 thousand? Shit. Frame house or Block kennel for dogs)
They're not even really houses any more...
I think scrappers had that boiler of the wall
