Auctions
If you keep an eye on auction websites, you’ll find many repossessed properties being offered at an unusually low price.
However, buyers rarely get to purchase at those prices, especially when the bidding wars begin.
Estate Agents
Mortgage companies often offload their repossessions to estate agents to try and get a higher sale price.
Those agents then market these properties as they would a normal house, so you wouldn't even know they’re repos unless you ask.
LPA Receivers
Sometimes an LPA receiver is appointed to take control of a mortgaged asset and recover monies for the lender by selling it.
The risk of going this route is that you cannot expect confirmation or replies to your queries as they often don't have personal knowledge of the property.
