The cities selling homes for one dollar
A housing revival programme in Baltimore, US, has seen homes sold for a $1. A similar scheme is being run in Liverpool, UK where buyers have purchased 拢1 homes. Does it work?
Is selling off abandoned homes for a dollar or a pound the answer to invigorating a city?
We meet some of the people in the port cities of Baltimore in the US and Liverpool in the UK who have taken part in similar housing revival schemes. Is it an easy win, or is solving a city's problems more complicated?
(Picture: Maxine Sharples, who bought a house in Liverpool for a 拢1, holding a photo showing her undertaking renovation work in her home.)
