That was just an unloved development (listed building though!) with a trad estate agent.

According to my research, hard to find a particularly good source of repo properties coming up at auction, you need to keep your ears to the ground/ read the local papers/ make the agents aware of what you want ie auction.

Obviously read the auction brochures when they come out as well.

May 4 (Bloomberg) -- U.K. mortgage approvals rose for the first time in four months in March as the effects of the worst cold snap in three decades and higher taxes on property sales faded.

The Centre for Economics and Business Research said yesterday that house prices will extend their recovery this year as low borrowing costs and the shortage of homes support the property market. Today's report comes as Prime Minister Gordon Brown battles to stay in office two days before the May 6 general election.

"Housing activity may be starting its slow upward grind," said Philip Shaw, chief economist at Investec Securities in London. "It's nothing spectacular, but it does confirm the economic recovery is gaining ground and some traction."

Mortgage lending dives 83% as housing recovery runs out of steam

[smartypants] 04/5/2010 14:57

"below 40p again does not reflect reality!"...this is reality..
No longer an investment market...justone big cassino and the odds are always stacked in favor of the "house"...seems every buy is a gamble no mater who well the company may report it is doing or going to do.

More good news on NAR Pending home sales..up 5.3%...time for another drop

TW price action crazy on a day when mortgage approvals rose for the first time in 4 months, below 40p again does not reflect reality!

[smartypants] 04/5/2010 13:27

Once the 32011 trade stops appearing may have a chance of holding its ground

[sir brainy] 04/5/2010 12:40

The 40p bounce might be a 'close' thing, ie intraday often does not matter so much for the techies
