The bargain three-bed County Durham home that could be yours for just £1
This three-bedroom house could be yours for only £1.
A County Durham home is set to go on auction with a guide price of just a quid.
It means the home could be snapped up for less than the cost of an average loaf of bread, which stood at £1.40 in January, or using spare change found down the back of the sofa.
The three-bed property in Horden comes with a loft room, rear yard and open plan living area.
In need of renovation throughout, the mid-terrace on Third Street could be a perfect investment opportunity or rung onto the property ladder for a buyer willing to take on a project.
An online listing says there will be no viewings inside and the home is currently boarded up. There are also no pictures of its condition inside.
It is said to need 'renovation and refurbishment throughout'.
The online auction takes place on May 20, 2025.
The full listing reads: 'A mid terrace property set within an area earmarked for regeneration within the Horden Masterplan, which was signed off in September 2024.
'The property currently requires a full scheme of refurbishment and modernisation and offers the potential to provide four bedrooms with accommodation over three floors.

Both, subject to necessary consents being approved, but shows the potential for an excellent return. These have not been submitted or approved and are to be used for guidance purposes only.
'The property is situated close to the centre of Horden, close to local amenities, schools and bus routes to Peterlee, Sunderland, and the surrounding districts. Horden is located between the centres of Hartlepool and Sunderland and gives good access to the A19 trunk road."
As with any auction property, any potential buyers are encouraged to read the small print online and contact the auctioneers for the legal pack.

Should you buy an annuity? Here's 4 times when it doesn't make sense to do so
Annuities can be a solid tool for generating guaranteed income in retirement, but they're not for everyone. Despite promises of financial peace of mind, annuities come with some big trade-offs. They're complex, often expensive and restrict access to your funds. Before you tie up your money potentially for decades, it's worth asking yourself if an annuity truly fits your financial situation. In plenty of cases, it might not. Annuities are essentially a bet that you'll live long enough to make the upfront investment worth it. You give an insurance company a lump sum or series of payments, and in return, they promise to pay you income — sometimes for life. The longer you live, the better your investment pays off, because no matter how long you live, those guaranteed payments keep coming. However, if you have concerns about your health or your family history points to a shorter life expectancy, you may be better off keeping your money elsewhere. You could spend $100,000 or more to buy an annuity and only get a few years of payments before passing away — leaving little to nothing for your heirs. Some annuities include a standard death benefit, which pays out the remaining contributions minus fees and withdrawals. (You contribute $100,000, receive $60,000 in payouts and your heirs inherit $40,000 minus fees.) You can also add a death benefit rider to your annuity, but that protection comes at an added cost — one you could avoid by skipping an annuity altogether. Similarly, since annuities restrict access to your initial investment, it can be costly — if not nearly impossible — to access your money if your health rapidly declines and your financial outlook shifts. In short, if your health isn't solid, keep your cash more liquid and flexible somewhere else. Learn more: Here's what you should know about inheriting an annuity. An annuity is often described as a do-it-yourself pension. If you're lucky enough to have a traditional pension from your job when you retire, you may already have guaranteed lifetime income. Let's say you're set to get $3,000 per month from your pension, and your expenses are $4,000 per month. Maybe an annuity could cover the $1,000 gap — but so could a smart systematic withdrawal plan, not to mention the ultimate source of guaranteed income in retirement, Social Security. If your pension covers all your essential expenses, an annuity contract will only complicate your retirement plan. You're likely better off keeping additional funds in an IRA or a high-yield savings account for emergencies and nondiscretionary spending. Annuities are complex and a bit different than other financial products. Learn how annuity fees and commissions work and the common annuity terms that every investor should know. You may also want to consult with a financial advisor if you're considering an annuity. Annuities are for people who already have their basic financial house in order. If you're still working on building up your emergency fund or paying off considerable debt, buying an annuity could make your overall financial situation worse, not better. Why? Because annuities generally require a large upfront investment in order to produce any sort of meaningful income in retirement — think $100,000 and up. Most financial experts recommend putting no more than 25 percent of your savings into an annuity, so you should have plenty of money elsewhere before signing a contract. Because once you buy an annuity, getting your money out can be difficult. Annuity funds are notoriously difficult to access without getting hit with surrender charges and tax penalties. And once you annuitize your contract, meaning you start receiving payouts from the insurer, you may not be able to take an early withdrawal at all. Annuities also generally don't offer great growth potential or adjust payouts to keep pace with inflation (unless you pay extra). If you're still trying to build wealth, you're likely better off keeping your money in a Roth IRA or a brokerage account. Get started: Match with an advisor who can help you achieve your financial goals Annuities are most useful for people who want to outsource some of their retirement planning decisions — particularly when it comes to managing investment risk and timing withdrawals. The insurance company handles the investment, the payouts and manages the risk of outliving your money. But that convenience comes at a cost: high fees, rigid rules and less flexibility. If you feel confident managing your own portfolio, it's not very useful to pay an insurance company to do what you can already handle yourself. You're likely to get better returns and more control by keeping your money invested and drawing it down in a tax-efficient way. If you want a second opinion, a one-time session with a fee-only financial advisor could go a long way and cost only a few hundred dollars — a drop in the bucket compared to the potential hidden fees baked into many annuity contracts. While annuities aren't the right choice for everyone, there are valid reasons why they continue to be part of retirement planning conversations. The trade-offs are real, but so are the benefits — especially if you're focused on long-term financial security. First, not all annuities are expensive or inflexible. Multi-year guaranteed annuities (MYGAs): These are fixed-rate annuities that act more like CDs, but with deferred taxes. They're simple, low-cost and don't require giving up access to your money forever. Longevity annuities: These deferred income annuities are purchased at retirement but don't start paying out until later — usually around age 80 or 85. Because they're designed to cover only the later years of retirement, they require a much smaller upfront investment than annuities with lifetime payouts. Second, you might feel confident managing your investments now — but what about in your 80s or 90s? Cognitive decline is a real possibility, and not everyone has a reliable person to step in and manage their finances. An annuity can automate your income and help protect you from poor decision-making later in life. And finally, while annuities are often seen as rigid, there are ways to build flexibility into your contract. For example, you can add a long-term care rider if you're worried about your declining health. Many contracts also allow annual withdrawals of up to 10 percent before you fully annuitize, giving you access to a portion of your money if you need it. Ultimately, buying an annuity is a deeply personal decision. The best move is to talk through your options with a qualified financial advisor before moving ahead. Annuities are heavily promoted as a solution to retirement planning, especially by sales reps and agents who make commissions selling them. But in reality, they're far from a one-size-fits-all fix and there are plenty of times when buying an annuity simply doesn't make sense. If you're on the fence, ask yourself what problem you're actually trying to solve by purchasing an annuity. If it's peace of mind, reliable income or protection against market volatility, there might be simpler, cheaper ways to get there.

Biggest lottery win in UK history up for grabs in £208m EuroMillions draw
A UK ticket-holder could win the biggest lottery prize the country has ever seen tonight if they match the numbers in Friday's EuroMillions draw. The jackpot has rolled over again to an estimated £208 million after Tuesday's £199 million draw, which would also have been a record-breaking amount, had no winners. The jackpot on Friday would be the largest prize the UK has seen, National Lottery operator Allwyn said. Andy Carter, senior winners' adviser at Allwyn, said: 'We are now on the verge of potentially creating the biggest National Lottery winner this country has ever seen – making a single UK winner instantly richer than the likes of Adele and Dua Lipa while also landing them at the number one spot on The National Lottery's biggest wins list.' Here are the 10 biggest UK lottery wins to date – all from EuroMillions draws – and what some of the winners did with their fortunes. Anonymous, £195,707,000 A UK ticket-holder scooped a EuroMillions jackpot of £195 million on July 19 2022. Joe and Jess Thwaite, £184,262,899.10 Joe and Jess Thwaite, from Gloucester, scooped a then record-breaking £184,262,899 with a Lucky Dip ticket for the draw on May 10 2022. At the time, Joe was a communications sales engineer, and Jess ran a hairdressing salon with her sister. Anonymous, £177,033,699.20 A UK ticket-holder became the third biggest National Lottery winner of all time after receiving a £177 million jackpot. The single-ticket holder, who chose to remain anonymous, came forward to claim the EuroMillions jackpot after the draw on November 26 2024. The winner became immediately wealthier than popstar Dua Lipa, who is worth an estimated £104 million, and Michael Buble, worth around £63 million. Anonymous, £171,815,297.80 A UK ticket-holder scooped £171,815,297.80 in the September 23 2022 draw – at the time the country's third biggest National Lottery win. Anonymous, £170,221,000 The fifth biggest winner of the National Lottery to date scooped £170 million in 2019 after matching all the numbers in a Must Be Won draw on October 8. Colin and Chris Weir, £161,653,000 Colin and Chris Weir, from Largs, North Ayrshire, bagged their historic winnings on July 12 2011, making them the biggest UK winners at the time. Colin used £2.5 million of his fortune to invest in his beloved Partick Thistle Football Club, which led to one of the stands at the stadium being named after him. He later acquired a 55% shareholding in the club, which was to be passed into the hands of the local community upon his death. He died in December 2019, aged 71. The couple also set up the Weir Charitable Trust in 2013 and donated £1 million to the Scottish independence referendum in 2014. They divorced in the same year of Colin's death. Adrian and Gillian Bayford, £148,656,000 Adrian and Gillian won 190 million euros in a EuroMillions draw on August 10, 2012, which came to just over £148 million. The couple bought a Grade II-listed estate in Cambridgeshire, complete with cinema and billiards room, but it was sold in 2021, some years after the pair divorced. Anonymous, £123,458,008 The seventh biggest National Lottery winner won a Superdraw rollover jackpot on June 11 2019, and decided not to go public with their success.

Anonymous, £121,328,187 Another of the UK's top 10 lottery winners found their fortune through a Superdraw jackpot rollover, this time in April 2018.

The 5 Biggest Business Sale Mistakes...
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. You're reading Entrepreneur United Kingdom, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. Selling a business is rarely as straightforward as owners expect. I've built, acquired, and sold multiple businesses over the past three decades, and if there's one thing I've learned, it's that most sale challenges are avoidable - if you plan well. Having worked with hundreds of business owners through Chalkhill Blue and written The Exit Roadmap to share what I've learned, I've seen the same costly mistakes come up time and again. In a challenging economy, avoiding these pitfalls becomes even more important. Here are the five biggest business sale mistakes I've seen, and what you can do to steer clear of them. 1. Failing to Plan Ahead Most owners wait far too long to think seriously about exit. In fact, a shocking 48% of business owners who want to sell have no exit strategy whatsoever 1 . They assume they can put their business on the market when they're ready, and buyers will be lining up. The reality? According to the Exit Planning Institute, 70–80% of businesses that go to market never sell 2 . Often, that's because the owner didn't plan early enough to address the risk factors or prepare the business for sale. Lesson learned: Start your exit planning at least 2-3 years before your desired sale date. This gives you time to address dependencies, clean up your financials, and build value. As I often say to clients, you can only sell once - do it right. 2. Overestimating Business Value Understandably, most owners are emotionally attached to their businesses. But emotional investment doesn't always align with market value. In fact, 58% of business owners have never had their business formally valued , which leads to inflated expectations and stalled deals. One couple I worked with was convinced their e-commerce business was worth more than double its realistic value. When we looked at their accounts and buyer appetite in their sector, the truth hit hard. Thankfully, they took the advice, grew the business, and exited at a much higher multiple later on. Lesson learned: Don't rely on hearsay or assumptions. Get a formal valuation from someone who understands your sector and how buyers think. Benchmark it against recent sales, EBITDA multiples, and market trends. This ensures you go to market with clarity and confidence. 3. Neglecting Operational Dependencies Many businesses are overly reliant on the founder, a few key staff, or a handful of customers. These dependencies are huge red flags for buyers. One of the most common questions during due diligence is: "What happens if this person leaves?" As I explain in The Exit Roadmap, your business should ideally run without you. A good litmus test? Ask yourself: could you take a three-month holiday without the business falling apart? If the answer is no, you've got work to do. Lesson learned: Reduce dependency on yourself and others. Document processes, empower your team, and decentralise critical knowledge. Not only does this reduce risk, it boosts your valuation - buyers will pay a premium for a business that operates like a well-oiled machine. 4. Inadequate Financial Documentation Nothing kills a deal faster than messy books. Poor financial controls, inconsistent reporting, or incomplete tax records are huge turn-offs. According to BizBuySell, 65% of businesses listed for sale each year fail to sell at all, and in many cases, it's due to issues uncovered during due diligence. One buyer pulled out of a deal with a client I advised after discovering £200,000 in unexplained "miscellaneous" expenses. It didn't matter that the business was otherwise profitable - the buyer lost trust, and we had to start again with a new prospect months later. Lesson learned: Invest in clean, clear, and consistent financial reporting. Get your accountant to prepare monthly management accounts and keep everything audit-ready. The more transparent your numbers, the more attractive you'll be 5. Limiting the Buyer Pool Too many owners put all their eggs in one basket. They get one offer and run with it, only to discover late in the process that the buyer can't raise funding or wants to renegotiate the price. In truth, the most successful sales usually involve 10-20 potential buyers at the initial stage, with 2-5 serious offers received by the seller. Creating competition between buyers can dramatically increase the sale price. I've personally seen final offers come in 40% higher than the opening bid because we generated competitive tension. Lesson learned: Cast a wide net. Use a broker or advisor with deep market connections to reach financial buyers, strategic acquirers, and even international prospects. This not only gives you more leverage, it often leads to a better cultural and operational fit too. Final Thoughts Selling your business isn't just a financial event; it's a personal milestone. And it's likely the biggest transaction of your life. When I wrote The Exit Roadmap, I wanted to give business owners a step-by-step guide to avoid the mistakes I'd seen others make. These five errors - poor planning, overvaluation, operational dependency, sloppy financials, and a limited buyer pool - are the most common, but also the most preventable. Whether you're hoping to sell in six months or six years, the time to start preparing is now. Future you will be grateful.
