Attractive price, feature oil drum. . . Would you buy a house on Benefits Street?
According to Phil and Kirstie, it's all about Location, Location, Location. But what if that location is Benefits Street?
Because two houses on the 'star' street in the controversial Channel 4 documentary are up for sale, if anyone fancies picking up a slice of television history.
With White Dee, Black Dee and Fungi on the same road, there's no shortage of colourful characters to be had for neighbours.
The cheapest property on James Turner Street in Winson Green, Birmingham, is £75, 000, with estate agents Springbok Properties describing the three-bedroom home it as 'attractively priced'.
But the price is one of the only appealing bits of the bargain – because photographs aimed at attracting a buyer show the inside looking less than impressive.
Far from showing the house in its best light, a picture of a dining room shows cluttered with suitcases and cardboard boxes – and bizarrely, a large blue oil drum.
The blurb on the website reads: "This property is priced low and is an ideal opportunity for buyers who are in a position to buy fairly quickly."
For just £2,000 more, a much more attractive property is up for grabs. Pictures show a neat and tidy house with laminate flooring, a glass dining table and fresh white walls.
The two-bedroom property, on the market with Virdee Estates and Henley Charles Estate Agent, is nearly perfect, apart from a slightly unkempt back garden.
Jim Singh, branch manager for Henley Charles in Handsworth said: "James Turner has had its 15 minutes of fame, but I don't think it's going to affect house prices on the street. At the end of the day people know what they are getting into when buying in the area. This will most likely be bought by a landlord who will rent it for around £400 to £450 a month, which isn't a bad return on the investment. We have already had a fair bit of interest."
The fourth – and penultimate instalment of the series will be shown on Channel 4 tonight.
More than 5.28 million people have been tuning in each week, making it one of Channel 4's most popular shows in history.
Television watchdog Ofcom has already received 917 complaints since the series began three weeks ago. Complaints include the portrayal of residents - and the filming of criminal activities.
