GETTING on the property ladder is one of many people’s life dreams, and you can save big bucks if you buy a house on the cheap and renovate it.
There is also a lot of money to be made if you purchase a house, do it up and sell it on, in a strategy known as house flipping.
The housing website Right Move has several houses for sale in Herefordshire that need work done to them.
