Looking for a unique new office space or workshop? Or perhaps you want a store room with a story to it? Well, this former bomb shelter might be the perfect option.

Given its location, the property comes with amazing sea views, and at a guide price of £25,000 could be a bargain fixer-upper for the right person. As ever though, there is a catch: because it measures 13m by 3m – or 43ft by 10ft – it’s not suitable for residential living, being marketed instead as a workshop, store room, or development...

A 3-bedroom townhouse in Philadelphia has gone viral online for its wild listing photos and one very strange detail. Buyers looking for a home in Philly may be taken aback by the property's $50,000 price tag, but there is one bizarre catch to consider. The 932-square feet, one-bathroom property comes with a squatter that any buyer must take full responsibility for, according to the listing.
