The house is located in a popular area of Cardiff and is just 1 mile from Cardiff Queen Street Station.

Jim Demitriou, the national valuer for SDL auctions said: 'The successful bidder will get everything that's inside the home.

'It saves the owner the trouble of clearing it out. That's why it is more suited to an auction.

SDL Auctions said: 'It's a great opportunity. You can renovate it and live in it, or you can rent it out but if you are looking to make money you can turn it into a multiple occupancy by splitting it into two flats. Splitting is where a buyer may go with it'
The National Property Auction will commence at 10:00am on July 29, registration for bidding will close at 12pm the day before

'The fact that it's messy means that it stands out, it gets your attention.

'We're here to make the property sell, the more interest, the more people bid.

'We've had a lot of interest in it. We've got about 90 people waiting to view it and about 40 registered to bid.

'We've got a highly motivated vendor who wants to make sure it does sell.

'By guiding it low, we'll get more interest.

'It's a great opportunity. You can renovate it and live in it, or you can rent it out but if you are looking to make money you can turn it into a multiple occupancy by splitting it into two flats. Splitting is where a buyer may go with it.

'It's been empty for about 3 or 4 years. The home belonged to the vendor's mother, who passed away. It wasn't their family home
Other houses that are exactly the same that have been split into two flats, are selling anywhere between £120,000 and £130,000

'If you look on that street, other houses that are exactly the same that have been split into two flats, they're selling anywhere between £120,000 and £130,000.

'It's been empty for about 3 or 4 years. The home belonged to the vendor's mother, who passed away. It wasn't their family home, so they're not emotionally attached to it.

'Sometimes when it's a family home people tend to feel like they're giving away, but this vendor doesn't.'

The National Property Auction will commence at 10:00am on July 29, registration for bidding will close at 12pm the day before.
