An eerie run-down house has been sold, despite coming with some spooky aspects - including 'help' scribbled across the wall.
In spite of interest rates hiking, Pygott & Crone, the real estate agency who sold the property, have called the home an 'investment', report Grimsby Live.
Priced at £37,500 - plus a reservation fee of 4.2% of the purchase price - the pad was closed in the modern method of auction on Friday 14.
A spokesperson at Pygott & Crone in Grimsby confirmed that it "went quite a bit above" asking price, and "had a lot of interest.
"It was a bit of a bidding war in the end."

The spokesperson added that, "the buyers may renovate and sell on or get a tenant in. It may change, as sometimes it is one or the other."
And, the new owners clearly don't seem to mind getting their hands dirty, as the two-bed home will need to be redone - from top to bottom.
While the outside of the property is in good nick, the same cannot be said for the rest of the property. After passing the hallway, the words 'HELP' can be seen scrawled on the living room wall.
And for the buyers who could look past that, the entirety of the room will need to be re-painted and done up, as well as putting new flooring in.

The kitchen is in less of a state, as the countertops seem to to be in pretty good condition. But it is definitely in need of a scrub and clean.
And despite being a bargain, its new owners will have to fit a new bath into the bathroom, as well as flooring.
One of the two bedrooms seems to come with what seems to be a walk-in shower room. However, both rooms seem to be desperately calling out for an entire re-vamp.

While the garden is somewhat overgrown, there is plenty of potential there as it seems to be be getting in a lot of sunlight.
