The house of drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman will be auctioned for the fourth time next week.
The starting price of the house, which has so far failed to sell despite being put up for auction three times, is around £90,000.
Authorities announced that in order to participate it is necessary to post a deposit of £7,000, local newspaper Infobae reports.
The house is located at 1811 Emiliano Garcia Street in Colonia Libertad, in the city of Culiacan, in the state of Sinaloa in northwestern Mexico.
It has increased its sale value after the price of the house was cut in half at the previous auction.
