What BBN said about it

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHere it is, the story we hinted at: a four-bedroom detached family home in a picturesque seaside town is on sale for just one pound, and The Sun says there's a massive catch.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe catch is the condition. The listing is drawing attention because the house is in shocking shape, and that is all the report gives us.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA sea view, four bedrooms, and a price lower than a bag of crisps. I'm choosing to see potential.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe report doesn't say what's wrong with it.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo it could be anything, even a leaky roof or a very rude seagull.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorOr a ceiling you can wave at the neighbors through. One pound buys you the keys, and probably a bucket.
