An electrician purchased a plot of land that looked like a jungle, and got planning permission for 10 dwellings.
Somewhere in the west midlands, I missed the exact location.
Total cost £572,000
BBC went back for a butchers 17 months later, and all is going well.
'Sparky' has already sold the properties to a housing association for £1.2 million, and his eyes on another plot a two minute walk away.

Bloke paid £439,000 for a 3 bed terraced house in Southfields, London.
He made a profit after spending £110,000 on it. But that's a facking stupid price for such a small house, profit or not. |

ever goes for even close to guide price, Savills the auction house obviously under price to attract interest |

Don't assume that all properties at auctions go for less than their value.
Plenty of punters slip up, and they sometimes put one on who's bought a lemon. Another point is about the valuations at the end. These are mostly wishful thinking. A valuation is only a starting point to come down from in many cases. And we have to bear in mind that the location of some of these properties make them difficult sellers as well. That's why many of them are in the auction. There's plenty of money to be made doing up property, but you have to know the game or chance to luck. |
