Repossessions

Are you looking to buy properties that have been part of a repossession?

Repossessions can be great value. The Lender will desire a fast sale to recoup as much money as quickly as possible, so repossessed properties are often undervalued by lenders and under-marketed by agents.

Be aware that the debtor may be able to stop the sale if they can raise the money to pay off their debts, even after the eviction. Once contracts are exchanged, however, the sale is legally binding and the debtor will not be able to stop the sale.

If you are in a position to be able to buy houses you could consider buying houses from people who are facing repossession, then rent the property back to them. You will benefit from owning real estate and the rental income on the property (provided it is bought at the right price), and the debtor will benefit as they will be able to continue living in their home and prevent repossession.

Paying a listing service to mail you lists of repossessions is a waste of money as lenders are obliged to sell through an estate agent to show they have obtained the best price possible.
