    Recommendations - Sourcing Commercial/Industrial Site

    Really I was looking for people/companies that specialise in this - but broadly the investment amount doesn't matter if the price is right for the site in question. The site would be in the South of England (ideally Berkshire area) and suitable for use as a waste transfer station or similar...

    Probate Property Deals

    Hi @SteveK - I also posted a quick reply on your other thread about this. Further to that, one of the problems I found was the lag between the probate notice on the Gazette and the house coming on the market (which made matching difficult). However, because the Gazette does give an address, you...

    Property Searches - Leasehold / Cash buyer

    I agree with @FWL - the searches are a trivial amount of additional money to spend for reassurance that you're not getting yourself into something that could be problematic. Perhaps more importantly - you're planning to sell the property, and the likelihood is that the buyer will be borrowing...

    Classic property developer mistake

    Stating the obvious (and frequently repeated advice),paying the right price in the first place will give you the best safety net and opportunity for uplift. If you can sell it for the same or more the day after purchase, you shouldn't go too far wrong.

    Off-Market Sites (to Develop)

    If anyone is willing to share, I'd be interested to hear what strategies people are using to source sites (for development) that aren't on the market - back gardens, knock-downs, etc. I've done a lot of 'map walking' and downloading of Land Registry docs - only to find that quite often the best...

    Classic property developer mistake

    Indeed. It's all about the numbers (and being able to sell). Thorough due diligence, hard work and experience will help to get the numbers right (most of the time). But even then, you've got to do the deal (i.e. sell) in order to release any profit you might have made.

    Selling With 'No Development' Clause?

    Sounded like a good idea. Did you find out more about it @Wendywoo93?

    Buying in a new area?

    Another thing to check (depending on your build / completion timescales) is whether there are any other big development happening nearby. It relates to some advice above... a massive new development will flood the supply, and depending on what is unique about your offering, could make it hard to...
