Next Episode of The £1 Houses: Britain's Cheapest Street is
not planed. TV Show was canceled.
Liverpool City Council are selling off derelict houses - for just £1 each. But is this the dream scenario that it appears to be? The houses haven't been touched for 10 years, and the buyers must invest their own cash to renovate them, which is at least £40k. If the work is not completed within 12 months, the council can take the houses back, with no compensation.The Wavertree area is renowned locally for crime, drugs and anti-social behaviour. The newcomers are relying on each other to build a solid community from scratch. This series, filmed over two and a half years, captures the highs and the lows of the people who are gambling their savings to step onto the property ladder and trying to achieve ordinary dreams in extraordinary circumstances.
In the first episode, childhood sweethearts Mel and Rob are desperate to give their kids a home through sheer hard graft and a tiny budget.
In this episode, the £1 scheme hits a crisis: a frustrated Victoria decides to move in before the council have signed off on her house; local shopkeepers Mo and Eman's house is ransacked; a nearby shooting spooks young mum Mel; and things comes to a head as anger erupts at the council meeting. Even the local policeman says he wouldn't choose to live there. Have the new residents bitten off more than they can chew?
In this episode, as 2017 draws to a close, the handful of pioneers renovating their £1 houses are rushing to finish for Christmas. But the houses haven't yet passed building regulations, and so cannot legally be handed over to the beleaguered families. Mel and Rob are desperate; and when they discover they have to pay for extra work, decide to take matters into their own hands. 'Mischief Night' in Liverpool gives extra cause for concern.
