The property market has a lot on offer, from new builds that are ready to be moved in, to doer-uppers that let you make the home your own.
If you'd prefer to make your home a project, you might look at auctions and try your luck at getting a steal.
Of course, auctions can be very stressful as you try and barter and get a deal on a one-of-a-kind home in your local area.
And that's no different for Watford as there are plenty of homes on auction that are quickly snapped up and sold for a profit.
That includes this two-bed terrace home with a garden on Balmoral Road that has a set guide price of £310,000.
Take a look inside this auction in Watford home up for £310k on Zoopla
This victorian family home has a lot of potentials and could make the perfect home for anyone willing to do the work.
The downstairs area of the house is long with an open plan style and original floorboards.
The front room has large windows that lets plenty of natural light in and helps light up the whole of the downstairs area.
With an archway design, the home would work great for a family with space for a living room and dining room.
Although the kitchen is in need of updating it does show how much room there is and inspires by its former design.
There's the chance to make the space feel bigger with some re-design over the counter area and appliances area, allowing more storage space and counter space too.
At the back of the kitchen, there is also a built-in pantry, meaning there is plenty of space for all your dried foods and more.
Upstairs, the first of two rooms has kept the floorboards but did board over the original fireplace, however, it could easily be opened again if desired.
There is space for a reasonably sized bed, wardrobe and maybe a desk as well.
Outside, the back garden does need a lot of work but does still show how much it has to offer.
With a long design, there was previously a long paved road and some flower beds too.
