A tiny plot in London big enough for a garage, now up for grabs at just £1, is being hyped as a 'super urban investment opportunity.' This garage-sized patch could be yours for the price of a bus ticket—only in the wild world of London property.

But here’s the kicker: despite the £1 headline, the Ealing plot’s true minimum buy-in is £11,001 thanks to required deposits and fees—a fraction of local rent but still a far cry from a “bargain.” London real estate auctions remain the ultimate property wild card.
