LEED'S CHEAPEST HOUSES

We are back with another cheap house video. This time exploring the cheapest housed on offer in the city of Leeds.

We got to see 3 properties, all ranging in price tags but all on offer for less tha £60k...and all providing different shades of mould and a selection of holes in ceilings. I'm always amazed by how houses can end up in such terrible conditions, but they make for great exploration.

I also headed back to the streets of Leeds as I got told that all the shops I saw vacant in my previous 'death of the high street' video have been repurposed. So I was intrigued to see if this city has bucked the trend and managed to refill all empty shops...what will we find.

A big thanks as well to all the people who have supported me via patreon over the past 2 years. I will be shutting down that page as I no longer need the finacial support due to now getting sponsered ads, but it has been amazing to have that support.

Until next time,

W.T

Closing down your Patreon because you can now support yourself without it is a class move and hats off to you.

Rare to see a YouTuber give up Patreon, shows you the wandering turnip is about the quality of shows and not money

You should write a book about your experiences of viewing these dilapidated properties
You could call it "50 Shades Of Mold "

The first house on the list - we live in the next row over (and just for info, we purchased here for £35k twenty years ago!) - we knew the guy who lived here, used to occasionally see him walk around the park with his dog. As far as we're aware he had some kind of breakdown / severe mental illness, turned into a recluse and disappeared from view. Barely left the house, and lived there for several years with no maintenance on the property and with it generally going to rack and ruin around him. It's not long been bought at auction, and there's a family now ripping out the internals and refurbishing it. A lot of the trees have been chopped down, and they're having to gut the internals - seeing the state of the place in the video, it's not surprising why there's piles of rubble and plasterboard up level with the top of the ground floor windows!

Brilliant advert with the suitcase, so funny.

[Nomoreanons]

That was the most bonkers promotion in a youtube video I have ever seen - props to you! Also, good for you for pushing back at comments slagging off your Leeds high street video.

That last house is about 5 minutes walk from where I used to live for 15 years. Someone once tried to ambush me in the next street over to it one night after living in the area for a few months. He didn't say anything just tried to take my head off with a metal bar. I managed to duck it and ran off up the street. I'm a fast runner so I turned round mid run whilst he was chasing me up the street. I said "You ain't catching me now fucker". At which point he threw the metal bar which hit me in the elbow refracturing it after it was nearly healed from me falling off my skateboard down the playhouse steps trying to impress some lass I liked. I continued running and got home intact. Side note I bought my 2 bedroom house nearby fully furnished in pretty good condition for £20k in 2002 (turns out the owner needed a quick sale as he fled the country with the coppers turning up at my door looking for him a few weeks after completion). I sold it in pretty rough condition in 2016 for £80k. God knows why you'd want to live round there it's absolutely mental as was I when I bought it;]

I'd pay 140 for that house if all the structural work had already been done and just needed a small amount of DIY, but 140 for that bomb site as is, made my jaw drop.

I remember leeds market in the 80's and 90's it was incredible, people coming in by coach from other cities just to visit! Plus, just walking through Leeds in the 90's early 2000's when I was younger, was a sea of people and bustling. I do miss the vibe of both.

I bought my house in Leeds for just over 60k around 10 years ago, at the time i was lucky to find a property in my area of the city for that price. Going to auctions properties were selling for crazy money, doesn't supprise me that one went for such a high price.

I'm currently renovating and it's a similar style property so i can give a rough idea of costs/time involved with taking on one of those. Bearing in mind i've done all the work myself aside from a full rewire and having new windows installed and i've had no structural issues to deal with (not guarateed with those ones though) but i've stripped each room back to brick. So far it's taken around 2 years (along side working) i'm around 70% complete and managed to stick within my budget of 15k, currently expecting to have a couple of grand left once it's complete

Next time you're in Leeds, park at Woodhouse Lane near the uni. £8.65 for 12h, two pound odd for two hours, very decent value. Or get a park and ride bus, even more convenient!

[lotsofspots]

2:30 so, so happy to see you wearing a mask with all that mould!

[LordWongy]

Never seen a YouTube sponsorship that made me want to buy a product so much! I know what I'm buying next payday ahahaha

The empty bank made sense. Halifax had 3 branches in the city centre and they consolidated into one. All the Trinity Centre has done is moved shops from one part of town to another (though its much nicer and safer for kids). Replacing the ones that aren't needed with mixed residential and bars/cafe developments is the way to go.

Congrats on closing down the Patreon mate, you definitely deserve that add revenue… hopefully we’ll see a revival of the high street in the UK within the next five years, fingers crossed it’s independent businesses verses corporate masters. P.s I’ve used your videos as great references for mold on the next season of “The Last of Us”, I’m a scenic painter in film. Thought I’d mention it given you highlighting the variation in mold. 😊

[mrsDavey]

My hubby and I love watching, your advert is fantastic, the funniest unique advertising we've ever seen.at first we both said hasn't he got a gf.then we realised 😂😂. We live in ilkley, even shops in ilkley are closed, and thankyou, we love watching were in our mid 50s so yes Fred dibnah we remember, brought back memories,

[Heedyat]

“I don’t need your support anymore” was a swerve I wasn’t expecting, not gonna lie 😆

[gailhickman]

That little bit of acting was fun. I remember in one of your videos saying you once wanted to be an actor. I reckon Corrie ought to snap you up, you could play an old schoolmate of Kirks, 😄.

I loved the way despite that terraced house being left to rack and ruin, it looked like the last occupant did at least do the washing up before they left, as evidenced by the plates etc in the draining board rack.👍
