Couple's £1 Stoke home is now worth £70k

Lawrence (48) and Theresa (46) Poxton bought what is technically one of cheapest properties in the UK. The bus driver and his wife snapped up their terraced home for just £1 in a scheme run by Stoke-on-Trent Council to sell to people who promised to renovate run-down properties and breathe new life into the area. The couple were one of the lucky 33 families who got an incredible bargain, and after more than a year of hard work, they have finally moved in.

The experts say that the property is now worth £70,000.
