Abandoned Empty House!... Could This Be My Next Property Development UK Site?

I always say potential property development uk sites are everywhere, but when I spotted this empty abandoned house - I thought "could this be my next property development?"
Now I bet there are empty properties within a mile of where you live, but often we walk right past them don't we.
If we notice them at all - we might think to ourselves "I'm sure some savvy property developer has already got their hooks into that site - but have they... could this in fact be a perfect property investment for you?
And so if you want to build your property business - keep your eyes open whenever you're out and about and...
NEVER ASSUME ANOTHER PROPERTY DEVELOPER HAS ALREADY NAILED DOWN THIS POTENTIAL INVESTMENT PROPERTY!
Also... Take action... go and download the deeds on that place you saw that looked empty recently. Worse comes to the worse... you'll waste £6

I have watched quite a few videos about investing in property but your videos have caught my attention simply because the information you give is so down to earth, realistic and achievable. 👍

[@YourFirstFourHouses]

Hi Donna - that has made my day? Thanks so much 😃😃😃

[@joycecattanach4002]

FYI, there is NO "trespassing" in Scotland. Go pretty much where you like, and YES, even on private land. That's the reason Madonna sold her house in Scotland because she could not prevent people wandering over her land.

[@YourFirstFourHouses]

Well that is interesting and i confess i didn't know that, thank you for sharing

Have you made a follow up video to this? ive currently found a empty property and the owner is deceased, with no forwarding relatives. i would like some further advice. thanks.

[@nicolahall27]

So happy I've stumbled acr this. There is a property near me I have ALWAYS wanted. It seems abandoned (overgrown garden, damaged old windows, doors etc) but there is nothing on Google. It's in a area where all properties are lived in but this one (and the surrounding properties go for around half a million) it's so bizarre but clear no one lives in it.

[@YourFirstFourHouses]

Hi Nicola, why don't you download the title deeds and plan, it will only cost you £6 and could give you some valuable information 😃

[@jossgower]

Move in start USING IT somehow.

[@patiencedicks2559]

Any update?

[@nicolahall27]

@@patiencedicks2559 we went round & had nosy around. A lovely lady who stayed next to it told us that a man does own it and he comes back & forth. He has a partner who stays further north who he stays with most of the time. So gutting it sits empty and neglected like that in such an expensive rare street. I’m hoping he ends up moving up there 🤣. We put a letter through the door with our details, politely explaining how we loved the place and if ever they were interested in selling, we would love to buy. Further update, we acquired land to open our dog run/park!!!🙂 It may not be residential land yet…. But it’s a start 😊

[@andrewgage6942]

I found a property, I've sought assistance to find out more about the property, the local council don't respond to letters, they don't answer the phone, the neighbors have no idea who owns the property as they moved in long after the property was abandoned, , I've given up chasing it six years ago, it's still empty and has been for around 20 years, the address of the owner is the same as the address.

[@YourFirstFourHouses]

Hi Andrew, thank you for your message, but I’m not sure how I can help you? If you’ve “given up” trying to find the owner, by all means email over the address (don’t post it on here!) and I’ll try to buy it and will give you a finders fee if I do 😊 But of course if you’re still pushing ahead, that’s awesome, and I wish you every success with it 😊

[@grumpydad23]

Great info and video!! What happens if you spend a few grand on the property then get to year 9 and somebody comes forward with their deeds and wants their house?

[@YourFirstFourHouses]

I confess i don't know, I'm not a solicitor.

[@mlastname7186]

Hi Tony, you've popped up on my feed before but only recently did I type into KZbin 'how to buy an empty house' and there was this video. Very helpful stuff and I dream of the day I'm able to purchase a building I 'happen upon', I've seen some too! What I want to ask, I'd have thought the first thing you do is knock on the door, on the off chance someone actually does live there, then what if someone answers, what do you say?, be honest and say I thought this place was empty and I wanna buy it?! I've got my eyes on two at the moment. Also, how did you get on, is there an update to this video? Thanks,

[@YourFirstFourHouses]

That's exactly right... Knock on the door and have a chat 😃 Sadly this one didn't work out for me. Good luck with the ones you are looking at 😊

[@traceysuggers2201]

If I saw an abandoned house and it was left like that fees and that I would deafly enquire about it because people just leave things now I just don’t care anymore I do know two people that found an abandoned house many many years ago in Streatham two guys they investigate to find out who it belonged to the current find out who it belonged to so what they did was they did it all up they put the heating in they decorated it and when the council found out what these two guys did the house became theirs so they were very lucky house that they started squatting in they started to investigate about it to find out who belong to couldn’t find it belong to say they done it up themselves and they got to stay there we cancel let them

[@patiencedicks2559]

Hi ! Do they still live there now how long has it been similar situation!

[@traceysuggers2201]

@@patiencedicks2559 Hiya no they don’t live there anymore they sold the house up but in the past I know that there has been people that have squatting in properties that have been left for so many years and those people that have squatted into these places if they can get the money and get people in to do the building at that building can become yours I know some people sale the law has changed because of people squat you’ve Gotta get out yes I have seen programs like that where they’ve got to get them out of the buildings but it depends on what they’re doing to the building but if you find a property has been left for years sometimes people take a chance and yeah I mean it is always best to do the digging to find out who it belongs to and if it doesn’t belong to anyone and it’s just sitting there take the chance and do it up when there’s loads of things on KZbin now that you can find out and get help about it

[@NGaugeVideo]

Great video Tony. Many Thanks. Iam curious though? What did the neighbors say about this particular property. Do you know why it's abandoned?

[@YourFirstFourHouses]

Hi Dave... I know a little more now... Perhaps I should do a follow up video! 😊 With that said... I'd rather not say too much just at the moment if that's ok... Just in case this one goes somewhere (which it might) 😊

[@NGaugeVideo]

@@YourFirstFourHouses No problem Tony. Hope its something that works for you. Please do a follow up Video when it's all ok. I am genuinely interested in its back story so please keep us posted.

Hey, big fan of the channel and trying to gain a bit more understanding. On the land registry I have found a property that is officially derelcit and unused at the end of my street, it says that the ownership is unknown on the land registry, hence why it has recently been put up on the land register as derelict. What is my next step in order to claim it or buy it? Frustrated as I cant seem to get any answers and I may be asking the wrong questions? thanks for help CEC

Hi Tony, could you please offer some advice. The opportunity to purchase a building containing 2 ground floor shops, with 2 - 2 bed flats above. The owner is a motivated seller and wants out! Some renovation needs carried out in 1 of the flats. Would you advise a commercial loan / mortgage or have a better idea i.e lease option / rent 2 rent etc. Sub question, with a business loan would you prefer to pay interest only or capital + interest and what is the recommended mortgage length for a commercial investment. Many thanks in advance!

[@YourFirstFourHouses]

To be honest, there's a lot to consider here - it might be better to book a coaching call for this one if it's a deal you're going to do. If that's of interest and me an email and I'll send you the link. [e-mail]

[@cmxxv]

Hi Tony. Excellent video 👌 I found an abandoned land, which I know it has been abandoned for the last 10 years. There was no maintenance carried out on the land for the last 10 years at all, and it’s all overgrown. I’ve downloaded the plan & title, and the land has been registered in 1996. What would be the next step? Thanks you

Hi I know where a abandoned property is and I would like to take adverse possession of it. Do you know someone who can help or someone who has done this before. I need to get it perfect because 10-12 years is a long time to get to the end and find you’ve made a mistake .

[@YourFirstFourHouses]

I know several people who "say" they have done it......... but I guess only time will tell if they manage to secured the property in 12 years time! My suggestion would be to read all you can on the subject and then consult a "property savvy," solicitor. I wish you every success with it 😊

When you see properties like that just left do you get curious and you wanna know who owns it I’m like that if I go past the building has been left for so many years and it’s like a car what could you do that house you could make that into a beautiful family house or a place where you could help people live as I’ve got nowhere else to go if I had the money I will do it up completely of me and my family
