They Put This House Up For A Penny But No One Wants To Buy It (7 pics)

1. Not a cottage.
2. 1p? I'd buy in a heartbeat. Who cares what the inside looks like, it's not like the furniture comes with the house (usually anyway), and even if it did you could just throw it away.

"A penny" might be just an expression in that region.
Maybe the house is just a bit below the market value.

Stupid post

That's it

yup. They listed it for $75000 under the normal price.

The original story was in the DailyMail so take it with a pound of salt.

Reading that article, that's in the town I grew up in. Wow. So, I can say with some certainty that 'a penny' isn't just an expression, more like BS here as 1p isn't mentioned anywhere else. Looks like they had it for sale for £350,000, then dropped to £300,000. Doesn't look like it was sold however - the house was for sale in late 2013 and there is no record of any sale.
