Finding UK Derelict Property: Top 3 Methods

Rare investment opportunities take some care to find. Derelict properties for sale definitely fall into this category.

They’re usually tucked away in places that only the diligent will uncover.

But once you get to know where they are, it becomes easy enough to strike gold.

Here are 3 tips for discovering your ideal derelict property for sale in the UK:

Surveyors and solicitors – not just agents

When looking for a derelict property for sale, it’s worthy to note surveyor and solicitor websites as well as property agents listings.

This may or may not have crossed your mind.

But the spectrum of allied professionals in the rural property trade is not so distinct.

There is plenty of crossover potential.

This makes for a more fruitful search experience.

It means you can find new property instructions, including for derelict property with land, in some of the more unlikely places.

So, if you haven’t already, broaden your search to include, property surveyors and solicitors websites also.

Get familiar with specialist agencies

As you scour the pages of Google and other search engines for derelict property, be sure to bookmark specialist rural estate agents.

These are the type that might not flood the market with volume, but rather selectively pitch noteworthy pieces.

As a note, they often will prefer to publish new listing particulars by PDF, not as a web page.

Keep a lookout for these and revisit them regularly on your journey.

Join an alert list if they offer one.

Auctions

Often derelict properties for sale are sold via property auction.

Being rare property investment opportunities, they are typically prefered to be marketed for sale by auctioneers.

As the rough gems of the rural market, you never quite know what potential any particular pair of eyes might see concerning one.

This way a minimum bid price is declared and the lot is promoted to all.

On the given auction date, the bidders are invited to battle it out.

Again, the rarity of such offers usually makes for quite a chase – leaving the vendor better off for letting the market decide his reward.
