A repossessed property is a home that has been taken by the lender due to the fact that the person that was living there wasn’t able to pay the mortgage. This property is then sold on to recoup the lender’s money, this means that you could get a good deal and a bit of a bargain, as the lender usually wants to sell quickly, and the property will be a lot cheaper. Most repossessed houses are sold over estate agents, therefore, in this case, you might not know that the property is even repossessed – possible signs that the property is repossessed could be that the property is on the market for a lot cheaper than you would expect and the home is vacant.
