3. Are you looking to make a move into property investing? Has it been something you have been thinking about for some time but you’re just not sure where to start? Then luckily, we are here to help.  This quick guide tells you everything you need to know about how to find properties in the UK. Depending on your needs, including a time frame, budget, experience, some of these may be more suitable than others – but all offer you the chance to find the right investment. Local estate agents Once you have identified the area where you want to invest, then start looking around the shop windows and website of local estate agents. This will give you some idea of what is available and what the prices are. However, you should also remember that it is an agent’s main focus to make the maximum sale for their clients, so this is not always the best place to find properties at the cheapest prices. However, there are some real benefits of using an estate agent – especially one with local knowledge and a good contact base. First, you will avoid doing a lot of paperwork and red tape. Buying a property can be complicated and if you are not familiar with the process it can end up taking a lot of time. An agent will handle all of this side of the process. You will also have a professional on your side for the complicated negotiation process. There has also been a rise in the number of online estate agents, and while their rates might be cheaper, you may have to arrange the viewing yourself and you might miss out on some of the local insight that can be so important. You’ll need to be prepared to do all your communication either over the phone or via email so you will miss out on the face-to-face experience. Auction houses If you want the really cheap property, then look no further than an auction house. They generally sell properties that have either been reclaimed by the bank, intestate property, or things that people want to shift quickly. Great deals do exist, but you will need to have funding in place and be ready to make a quick decision, often without being armed with all the necessary information. It’s a gamble and generally better suited to experienced property developers. You may also face less competition when buying at an auction house because it does put a lot of people off. If you are looking for a real bargain and don’t mind getting stuck in and doing some of the hard graft yourself, this could be a good option. However, don’t go to an auction thinking you are going to find your dream home or a golden investment opportunity on a plate. Online listings sites The big online sites take information from thousands of other agents, which makes them a handy one-stop-shop for seeing everything that’s available in your price range. However, they are just viewing platforms essentially and you will still have to go through the main agent when making a purchase. Useful for comparisons, however. Investment sites One of the best places for investors is to check out dedicated local investment sites. These are places where motivated sellers can come to list their properties for a quick sale. There will be a list of interested investors who can view any property that becomes available, with mechanisms in place to help them buy quickly. Here at Property Classifieds, this is the kind of service we operate. Our network of investors is informed when new opportunities hit the market. You will receive messages via email and all you need to do is assess whether it meets your needs and then make an offer. We offer our sellers a quick sale opportunity and our investors the chance to find property at the right price. And if we don’t sell a property within a certain time period, we can recommend the best local agents to list it with. It really depends on what you are looking for and your personal preference as to the best place to source properties. If you are looking for your ‘forever home’ then it might pay to go with a local agent. But if it’s an investment opportunity, this may not be the best course of action. You don’t necessarily need the convenience your higher fees will get you, which is why choosing an investment specialist might be a better option.
