A derelict house that has been revamped as part of an affordable housing project is being offered for sale at almost £35,000 less than its market value. Wyre Council acquired and renovated the property, the first house to come under its Affordable Housing Delivery Programme, and it has now been valued. The three-bedroom home in Thornton will be available for sale as a ‘discount market home’ for the fixed price of £136,000, considerably less than the £170,000 it has been valued at.
