Shropshire homes are going under the hammer in the next few weeks - and most are less than £100k

We've looked at millionaires' mansions, brilliant barn conversions and affordable cottages - now we're delving into the listings to see what homes are soon to be going under the hammer in Shropshire.

The guide prices for auctioned properties are often much lower than the market rate, giving buyers the chance to get a few thousand off what you’d normally pay for a house.

But a lot of them need some serious TLC, never mind the restrictions and nuances that securing a mortgage for one would require.

Remember, if you're buying at auction, you'll have to have the money upfront so don't get carried away with that paddle - guide prices aren't always an indicator of the final sale price and homes often sell for much more.
