Most of the houses that sells on today's property market are sold by estate agents who have the knack of advertising their properties so well that many buyers thinks using an estate agent is the only way to find a new home.
However, repossessed houses offer potential buyers and investors a whole new world of opportunity when it comes to finding great property available at discount prices.
Repossessed homes are unique because they are sold by a mortgage lender looking to raise the money to cover a loss on an unpaid loan.
When a lender agrees to provide a homeowner with a mortgage loan, it's under the condition that if the homeowner does not make regular payments toward the debt for an extended period of time, the lender will have to take control of the home and sell it in order to regain their money.
Anyone can buy a repossessed property. You don't have to be an agent or even an experienced investor. And the chances for finding great prices on repossessed homes are much better than on the open market.
In fact, repossessed homes generally sell for anywhere from 15 to 60% below what they normally would through an agent, simply because the lender wants to encourage a sale.
So why aren't bank repossessions more popular among regular buyers? They are starting to get more attention lately, but largely this is because the public simply doesn't know about them.
They are not often publicly advertised, and so it can be hard to find out about them, unless you use a listings service like the one at renovation-property.co.uk.
