Homes Under The Hammer couple's 'impressive' transformation of 'uninhabitable' flat with no front door

A couple transformed an 'uninhabitable' flat into a lovely two-bed home - after bagging it at an auction. Husband and wife Andy and Juvi bought the run-down property for £103,000, but they had a huge task at hand as it came with no front door, single-glazed windows and a dodgy gas supply.

Jon said: "The area is on the cusp of the city centre so you have easy access to the Market Square, to shops, and everything else that's close by. The
