Planning to find a new home this year but want to keep costs low?

Although January can be a slow time for the property market, there are still plenty of houses and flats going up for sale.

We’ve rounded up the cheapest homes that have become available in and around Wellington since the beginning of the month, including shared ownership homes - and they all cost less than £200,000.

This semi-detached house is offered for sale on a part-buy, part-rent shared ownership basis with Yarlington Homes.

Inside, there is an entrance hall, a sitting room, a kitchen and dining room, a cloakroom, two bedrooms and a family bathroom.

There is also an enclosed rear garden and two parking spaces, with the agent describing the property as “very well presented”.

This mid-terraced house is within walking distance of local amenities, and is called “charming” by the agent.

The accommodation is made up of a sitting/dining room, a recently decorated kitchen, a bedroom with a three-piece bathroom and a large loft space.

Outside, there is a rear garden with a greenhouse and a summer house, and an outbuilding which is currently used for storage.

A shared ownership home, the Elmslie is a newly built semi-detached home on the Monument View development.

Inside, there is an open-plan kitchen/dining area and a separate living room with French doors, as well as three bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room, a family bathroom and a downstairs bathroom.

There is also a garden to the rear, which is accessed through the patio doors in the living room.

This first floor apartment was built in 2021 by Bloor Homes, situated in a block of six apartments on the Longforth Farm development.

Inside the apartment, there is an entrance hall, an open-plan kitchen, dining room and living room with a Juliet balcony, a master bedroom with an en-suite shower room, a second bedroom and a bathroom.

Externally, there is a communal garden, a bin-store and allocated off-road parking.

Similar to the Elmslie on Exeter Road is the Beckett, available through shared ownership at a 50 per cent share.

The accommodation is made up of a dual aspect living room, an open-plan kitchen and dining area, three double bedrooms, one en-suite bathroom and a family bathroom, as well as a downstairs cloakroom and a utility room.
