Struggling to save a chunky deposit? Prepare to be surprised at what’s on sale for £100,000 or less.
From a houseboat on the outskirts of London to a four-bedroom renovation project in Liverpool, one of these nine eye-catching homes for sale on Zoopla could be just right.
1. One-bedroom flat, March, Cambridgeshire, £80,000
After a home with character? Located on the first floor of a Grade II listed building, this flat boasts sought-after features, such as bay windows and a fireplace.
It offers the best of both worlds. It has a handy location in the heart of March close to a range of local amenities.
Yet it also has tranquil views across the pretty River Nene, which is often lined with boats, according to March Town Council.
There’s a couple of important details to note though. Firstly, there’s a tenant already ‘in situ’. And secondly, the seller is after cash buyers only.

2. One-bedroom flat, Southport, Merseyside, £90,000
This apartment on the second floor of a detached Victorian house ticks a lot of boxes: modern kitchen and bathroom, neutral interiors, residents parking, and a well-maintained communal garden to name a few.
It’s located within walking distance of Southport’s seafront, shops, bars, restaurants, parks and the railway station. Little wonder it’s described as ‘perfectly suited’ to first-time buyers and investors.
The beautiful coastline is right on your doorstep. But if it’s the bright lights that you’re after, Liverpool, Manchester and Blackpool are all nearby.

Love the West Country? This cottage in the Cornish village of Kilkhampton could be for you.
The property has an eye-catching location, close to the Hartland National Landscape and the popular seaside town of Bude.

It’s worth noting that the cottage is available for holiday use eight months of the year.

4. Land, Fortrose, Scotland, £35,000
Just check out this view over the Moray Firth! This ‘rarely available’ parcel of land is situated above Fortrose Harbour on the Black Isle.
OK, it’s not quite a home – yet. Once an allotment ground for one of the big houses in the seaside village, this south-facing triangle of land is ripe for development. Though interested buyers should note – there is no planning permission in place.
It’s a hop, skip and a jump to all the local amenities, including a golf course.

5. Two-bedroom terraced house, Darlington, £78,500
This classic mid-terraced house has got ‘first-time buyer’ and ‘investor’ written all over it. It’s clean and comfortable, with gas central heating and double glazing.
It's also right up there when it comes to convenience. It’s walking distance to local amenities, including shops and schools. And it’s close to the A1M, a major transport route which ultimately connects London and Edinburgh.
Another property on this list offered with no onward chain, you could move in no time.

6. One-bedroom cottage, Castletown, Scotland, £80,000
Located in the far north of Scotland, this could be just the ticket if you want to escape the hustle and bustle.
Believed to date back to the 19th century, Flagstone Cottage is in fact two traditional labourers cottages that have been combined to create one home.
Its charming features include sash and case windows, a wood burning stove, cast iron fireplaces, wood-lined walls, and hard wood and flagstone flooring.
It's a short walk to all the village amenities and Castletown Beach and the selling agent reckons it would be ‘ideal as a holiday rental, or may perhaps appeal to the first-time purchaser’.

7. Three-bedroom terraced house, Abercynon, Wales, £96,000
Calling all investors! This house already has tenants in place for ‘immediate investment’, says the selling agent.
The property appears to be in good nick, with double glazing, gas central heating, a rear garden, and parking on the street outside. What’s more, there’s no onward chain.
The A470 is the key route around here, taking you north to Merthyr Tydfil and the beautiful Brecon Beacons National Park, or south to Cardiff.

Its neat layout comprises a galley kitchen, lounge with a cosy woodburning stove, and a double bedroom – plus plenty of built-in storage.
And in case you’re wondering how practical living on a barge might be, it has a compost toilet, shower, sink and washing machine too.
Just bear in mind the headroom in the cabin, which ranges from 5ft to 6.5ft.
