Originally posted by rootsnall View PostSays me. I've been doing a bit of property wheeling and dealing the past few years and watching what things actually sell for on the land registry and following the auction results. I'm talking typical BTL stuff such as terraces Up Nth which is the bulk of the non commercial auction stock up here. The other stuff that comes to auction usually has something wrong with it that makes it difficult to sell via the normal mortgage/survey route so again auction gets the best price for the seller. A lot of the auction stock isn't repo. The purely repo auctions such as the Halifax one may be a bit different.

Doomed I say. Doomed.
Went to a house auction last week. The house I was looking at didn't sell. No offers. None.
