A PROPERTY with two bedrooms and its own parking spot has been put on the market - for just £15,000.

The estate agents marketing the third floor apartment say it would be ideal for a first time buyer or an investor.

The home is on Barrow Island, just metres away from an area which recently benefited from a seven figure investment programme.

It has a reception room, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms.

At £15,000 it is almost £115,000 cheaper than the average property prices for Barrow.

And while some areas of Barrow Island - mainly Egerton Court - have a reputation for crime and disorder, just three incidents were reported in the Schooner Street area - where the flat is located - in December.

A buyer able to find a £1,000 deposit and take a mortgage for the rest over 25 years would pay just £55 a month in repayments based on deals available right now.
