£600,000 is the "guide price", not the asking price. I think they've deliberately set the price low to drum up lots of interest. It's a common trick for auction houses.
A quick check on Rightmove reveals nearby 3-bed and 4-bed detatched houses typically on offer around £220,000. Hard to believe in Liverpool....

Seem to be conflicting reports, some saying the houses were recently refurbished, others saying that they had been trashed and were in need of renovation. I'm not sure it's clear at all that the houses are in good nick, ready to sell for top whack (otherwise surely these mystery developers would have put them on the market before now).
