Default Buying repossessed properties
Most HUGE fortunes are made in times of recession and this one will be no different (in fact this recession will present many more opportunities than ever before)... According to the Council of Mortgage lenders a massive 75,000 properties will be repossessed this year - a 12 year high in case you need reminding. All smart property investors understand what this means - a MASSIVE unprecedented opportunity to snap up solid income producing investment properties at absolutely ROCK BOTTOM bargain basement prices.

You might find repossession properties through an estate agent. They don't always go straigh to auction. Another tip I have been given for finding repossessed property is to search for 'no chain' properties!

Repossessed properties always seem to have a sad and creepy vibe to me - just like properties where you know that the last owner died in it.

Is now a good time to buy or would it be better to wait a few months longer for bottom of the market. I am looking at repossesions in the region of £80-£90,000 to buy cash but only for a year or 2 years max. So is now the time or wait. Thank you

My personal opinion is that we've seen a spring bounce - but considering that spring/summer normally represents peak season for buying, the stats are still coming in terribly weak.

I would therefore expect price declines to accelerate in the winter.

Totally agree, but not yet

Are you ramping by any chance

I agree, but most of the local estate agents seem to be saying its looking good. This maybe to entice buyers back but who knows.
