Posting on social media, Maxwell, 38, and his wife Leah Jones, 29, gave viewers a close-up look outside and inside the huge property, which is in Popovo, Bulgaria.
As he took a step inside his new pad, Maxwell was pleased and felt 'very lucky' that his bargain home has UPVC doors and windows everywhere.
He showed off the 'big hallway' and the 'original coving' which is still in place around the lights and walls.
He described the first bedroom as being in a 'good state', as he admitted: 'Seen a lot worse on the market in Bulgaria for the money.'

Maxwell, who plans to take his family over to Bulgaria to renovate the house and eventually become as 'self-sustainable as possible', recognised that despite the electrics being 'half done', he wasn't bothered as he beamed: 'But for £8k, I'll deal with it.'
After showing off the huge bedrooms and the large kitchen space, Maxwell gave a quick glance in the bathroom, which was complete with a bath, toilet, sink and radiator.
Thrilled with the bathroom, he beamed: 'We're very lucky to get this because a lot of the other houses that we've seen, there was absolutely nothing - every single room needed doing.
'It's all plumbed in, ready to go - needs a bit of love, a bit of TLC and a clean, but that's what we're here for.'

Not only does the property have three bedrooms, but there's also a 'massive' barn with 'endless possibilities', and a garage on the land too.
As he showed off the outside space, which is 'very overgrown' with 'so much c**p everywhere', Maxwell acknowledged: 'All needs bringing back to life - I can't wait to do that.'
I ditched the UK to live in South Africa - cocktails cost pennies, rent is £430 and I can work by the pool
Big divide
The TikTok clip, which was recently posted online under the username @maxwellmydailys, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly gone viral and amassed 1.5 million views.
Not only this, but it's also racked up 24,700 likes, 2,339 comments and 2,760 saves.

Moving house hacks
1. Declutter Before You Pack
Sort through your belongings and get rid of anything you no longer need. Donate, sell, or recycle items to lighten your load.
2. Create an Inventory
Make a list of all your items. This helps keep track of everything and ensures nothing gets lost in the move.
3. Use Quality Packing Materials
Invest in sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, and packing tape. This will protect your belongings during the move.
4. Label Everything
Clearly label each box with its contents and the room it belongs to. This makes unpacking much easier and more organized.
5. Pack a 'First Day' Box
Include essentials like toiletries, a change of clothes, snacks, and important documents. This will keep you from rummaging through boxes on your first day.
6. Take Photos of Electronics Setup
Before unplugging your electronics, take photos of the wiring setup. This will make it easier to reconnect everything at your new place.
7. Use Suitcases for Heavy Items
Pack books and other heavy items in rolling suitcases. This makes them easier to transport and reduces the risk of injury.
8. Colour-Code Your Boxes
Use different coloured stickers or markers for each room. This will help movers quickly identify where each box should go in your new home.
But social media users were totally divided by Maxwell's £8,000 property - while some thought he was 'lucky' to get such a great deal, others described it as looking 'rough.'
One user beamed: 'What a steal! It's amazing what you can get here for a good bargain! Wish you all the best!'
A second gasped: 'That is one of the best deals I have seen!!!!! LUCKY.'

But at the same time, one person said: 'It's rough.'
Another added: 'Seen better state houses on the Chatsworth Estate on Shameless.'
Meanwhile, a third chimed in and wrote: 'Don't mean to disappoint you, but this is too high of a price for this property. Source: I am Bulgarian.'

The Sounesses are regular attenders at Wimbledon - and so too were many of the others who attended on Saturday. The list included cricketers Andrew Strauss and Ian Botham, and Team GB cycling power couple Jason and Laura Kenny. Multiple Olympic sailing medallist Ben Ainslie was present too as was Irish rugby hero Brian O'Driscoll and Olympic sailing and rowing stars Ben Ainslie and Steve Redgrave. Denise Lewis and Kelly Holmes represented athletics with Anthony Joshua and promoter Eddie Hearn present from the world of boxing. Souness recently completed a second gruelling English Channel swim in honour of Debra - after he and his team spent 22 hours crossing the channel and BACK.

He was taken to hospital after suffering chest pains while watching football on TV at home. Souness also needed shoulder SURGERY after completing the last charity channel swim - but he was determined not to let the side down and duly did his bit for a good cause.

Moment dehydrated and seasick Rangers hero Graeme Souness, 71, says 'I feel terrible' during latest charity channel swim Asked about the "dodgy period" he had suffered since the last swim, Souness replied: "It was one of two things, I think I've either gone and dehydrated myself sitting for three hours in the sunshine before the first swim or a bit of seasickness but I felt terrible. Speaking at the conclusion of the event, Souness added: "How do I feel? I'm knackered! I really am, no amount of training can prepare you for what we just did. "Last time it was tough, but this time was even tougher. The weather was nice though! "I am emotional when I think about why we did this. To support Isla and everyone else living with this horrendous condition." 5 Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page

Steve Coogan says ‘disappointing' Labour year will ‘pave the way' for Reform UK
The 59-year old actor and comedian, who recently starred in The Penguin Lessons, reportedly supported the Labour Party in previous elections until last year, where he backed the Green Party. Speaking to The Guardian, Coogan said the current Labour Government is 'no different from a Conservative government in neglecting ordinary people'. 'What they're doing is putting Band-Aids on the gash in the side of the Titanic,' he said. 'The success of Reform, I lay squarely at the feet of the neoliberal consensus, which has let down working people for the last 40 years and they're fed up. It doesn't matter who they vote for, nothing changes for them. 'They'll pave the way for the only alternative, which is a racist clown. Reform (UK) couldn't organise a p*** up in a brewery, but if there's no alternative, you understand why working people will make that choice.' This comes after the Labour Government marked one year since winning the 2024 general election. Coogan added: 'It's not just the fact that people are disempowered and feel like they have no autonomy. It's compounded by the fact that these people, these multinationals, are enabled and supported by the Government to keep their foot on the neck of working people. 'If any government wants to address that extremism, what they have to do is tackle the root cause…(which is) poverty and economic decline in the post-industrial landscape, especially in the North. 'If Labour addressed that problem, Reform would go away – all their support would dissipate.' Coogan also said he agreed 'wholeheartedly' with MP Zarah Sultana's statement shared on Thursday which said the Government had failed to 'improve people's lives' and that the 'two-party system offers nothing but managed decline and broken promises'. Ms Sultana also announced that she was quitting the Labour Party to co-lead a left-wing alternative with former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. Coogan is best known for portraying Alan Partridge, a persona which pokes fun at British broadcasters, having appeared in several TV series as well as the 2013 feature film Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa. The Government has been contacted for comment.
