The CHEAPEST Houses in Britain | "Damp, Grime And DEAD Flies Everywhere!"

Burnley, a town in the heart of Lancashire, was once at the centre of Britain's Industrial Revolution. Nestled within stunning views of the Pennine countryside, its textile mills became known around the globe.
Today, though, Burnley is better known for having the cheapest house prices in the whole of the UK where homes start from as little as £15,000. For landlords, this means bigger returns. But behind closed doors, we found residents were facing a different reality.
Rock bottom prices have seen outside investors snap up whole rows of housing. But does that investment come back into the town and its people? Some families are forced to choose between a life on the streets or living in houses riddled with rats and mould. Some are even sleeping in their cars.

Talk to more people who are solving the problems. Intentional communities might work in these towns. You have a group of people willing to work together and receive a variety of benefits. Some people teach building repair to members who will gain marketable skills, for example. We have an older disabled guy with a van- he goes around and picks up other retired people who don’t have cars, brings them to the community pea patch ( allotments). Sometimes they bring their young grandchildren. Everyone gains from this- the old gent gets vegetables and social time, everyone gets sunshine and companionship. Another program matches students with older people who own homes. The student has very cheap room and board, the older people get help getting to the stores. We gave Habitat for Humanity- a group of people gets together to repair a home- the skilled people share their skills with the inexperienced. There is Camp Second Chance, a drug-free alcohol-free community south of Seattle. Local churches gather members to build tiny homes on the property. There is a shared kitchen and bathrooms, social workers help them find jobs, free buses, healthcare. I drop off books and clothes there that are given to me for this purpose. No drugs or alcohol are allowed- none of the residents want to endanger their places there so they are extremely motivated. It would be great if you posted contact info so people can donate to these organizations in Burnley. Thanks for your efforts.

If there was no work, you were on the street. It was common to see dead people in the street who had frozen or starved to death. Or, those lame or injured or old, often just died in the street. Disease was rife, you could not drink water in cities so that is why 2 or 3% ale was special brewed and pubs opened at 6am so people could get their days drink. The disease, filth and squalor, as well as child slavery, such as cleaning chimneys or ship rivetting, meant children died all the time and were abused.

My paternal Grandparents were from one of the worst slums in England at the time: Salford, Manchester. When my Grandfather asked my Grandmother to marry her, she said 'Only if you take me to Canada'. So they emigrated to Canada at the beginning of the 20th c. When World War One broke out in 1914, my Grandfather left Montreal and went back to England to fight for King and country. For his troubles he was gassed and he was injured by shrapnel in his leg. After the War, he left England fo good. Their life in Canada was modest, living in a small, neat Cape Cod cottage, surviving the harsh winters. But, it was an improvement over their former life in Salford. They remained proud Brits, they had nothing negative to say about the Royal Family and such. They were salt of the earth types who kept a steady hand on the rudder 'thru family ups and downs. I can't believe in the 21st c. in Britain, a very wealthy country, that there are still people living there in such horrendous conditions. Class divisions have never been more obvious!

And all that in a country where people still think having a king or queen is the best thing in the world. How about the crown using its riches to help the government in England come up with funds to change this shameful situation? The spending of a royal event alone would change the life of many people on the streets.

The house prices are really good, you can still buy a decent investment, I live near Burnley and I quite like it however I come from London so my view of Burnley is different. Due to my own experiences in big cities I don't find Burnley dangerous but it is similar to every small town in the UK. Council housing down south is also horrific.

London is one of the safest cities in the country though.

People always bring up the Nelson and Burnley area as a cheap place to live and gush on about the nearby countryside - but it isn't always a pleasant place to live. Society is seriously degenerating, drugs are getting rife, areas and people are generally getting rougher, coarser and poorer, no matter whether they "pull together" or not. It isn't just poverty, it is also a wider degradation and an attitude problem as well in some cases, hence the state of some of the living conditions (and this filters out into wider society too). Demographic change is rife and along with it comes the polarisation and stifling alienation of ethnic/religious segregation. Litter is commonplace, the roads are ramshackle and pot-holed so badly in places it is like something from the third world, some of the biggest employers are said to be taking in foreigners as cheap labour who live in tents nearby, whilst major industry and manufacture is a shadow of its former self but thankfully just about still going. Almost every second shop seems to be a betting shop, charity shop, pound-store, tattoo parlour or Asian takeaway. People are generally emotionally beaten, many have given up bothering to care any more and will live in filth because there seems little point bothering to make the immediate area nice. Nobody in their right mind would move in to certain areas - which makes them difficult to turn-around into being nice places to live as the rot is too set in. There's said to be not enough school places, dentists, etc and yet they still build thousands of houses, they shut the A&E hospital years ago and you need to trek 25 miles to Blackburn to get seen in a facility operating at twice its original capacity - and its all very well people moving to try and take advantage of the house prices and 'lower costs for a pint', but with the lower wages and fewer prospects, once you move into such a region, you will often not be able to afford to escape once you're acclimatised to the place - like the girl who was amazed that Burnley has the cheapest house prices, as it is inconceivable to her that she'd be able to afford more for herself than what she pays for now. Sure, it has its plus sides and it has its good areas and good points, but it isn't a rosy place to be, it can be depressing, alienating and the house prices and cheap cost of living isn't all of the picture. There's something going wrong at the root of society in places like this and slush-fund money from the government can't fix some of those problems, they can only temporarily mask them in my opinion. These areas do need help and "levelling up", but they also need help to help themselves just as much if the pride and drive for prosperity is to come back.

[@Kitty-lj7eg]

Section 21 should be there to protect landlords otherwise no one will invest in the UK. Rental crisis and homeless is the issue with the overall government problem and they should build more affordable housing to help those in need and not to blame the landlords.

Is it true that PM left the Royal Mess the other night because of the fued with Samantha Markle. I only got a little bit from PaulaMs member's only show 3 days ago with Meghans Mole. Do you think Samantha & Thomas Markle Jr have been playing people? Are they both now backing off their previous statement about their half sister.

The housing system is sad , They tell us their is no houses yet let many in and rehouse them in the biggest new builds whilst we are being told 6 to 10 years to be moved ! , Why should it be this way ? , Then some are having kids more than others ! And taking up all the priority , Overcrowding shouldn’t be a priority because some are having loads of kids just to get the bigger houses , I’m all for helping others but help us to

[@julie.1081]

Here's an idea for both the UK & the US. Let's stop wasting our tax dollars on people who don't care about us & start investing in US(as in WE!). If both countries invested all that wasted money on our own citizens, can you just imagine what we could do? There are towns like this in both countries. Want to learn a trade that'll pay you well? Let's get busy! Once someone gets clean & sustains sobriety for(just a ballpark-6 months), we'll get you into a home. Want to start a business? Does the area need that business? Great! We'll help you start but it won't be a free ride. We need to start doing better for OUR citizens!
