Properties are usually repossessed when an owner has defaulted on their mortgage and fallen into arrears, or the mortgage lender, who – as a result - applies to the courts for the issuing of a repossession order. This is usually followed by an eviction order. That’s how most repossession houses enter the real estate market as houses for sale.

Symonds & Sampson’s latest auction on 16th June at Axminster included a number of lots in Devon and Lyme Regis with many of the properties selling for well over the guide prices.

Partner Ross Willmington said “We started the auction at 2pm which was when the England v Wales football match kicked off and although the whole country seemed to be glued to a television set we had about 150 people in The Guildhall in Axminster who did not want to miss the chance of buying some unique lots. Many of the properties had been in the same family for over 60 years and we believe that Phillyholme Mill was

Right, we've got a couple of Scottish ones to take a look at today...

Firstly we are off to look at an unusual opportunity. Set to the stunning backdrop of the Scottish Highlands, this is a holiday park that provides both an amazing place to work, and also a fantastic place to call home.
