Summary

Simon explains a simple process for finding discounted property deals in your area right now, with the key being to leverage the current low-competition period (such as December) by focusing on motivated sellers and utilising effective search and negotiation strategies. KEY TAKEAWAYS Act immediately as competition is typically low during social periods (like December), meaning those who implement the advice straight away have a higher chance of securing a deal. Focus solely on motivated sellers for whom the speed and certainty of the sale are more important than achieving the full price. Look for properties that have been on the market for a long time, have had price reductions, or have had previous sales fall through. When searching online (e.g., Rightmove, Zoopla), limit your search results to about 40-60 properties to avoid being overwhelmed, and look for red flags like out-of-season photos, duplicate listings, or properties listed by out-of-town agents. Make an offer on every property you view, aiming for a rejection initially to open a negotiation where the seller will offer the highest price they're willing to accept. BEST MOMENTS "If you implement what I'm suggesting you straight away, I guarantee you will find some really great deals in your area that maybe be saving you tens of thousands of pounds off the normal purchase price." "We always want to look for motivated sellers. These are people for whom the speed and certainty of the sale is more important maybe than the price they're going to get." "You can look for people where maybe the sale has fallen through, or maybe where the property the price has been reduced, or maybe they're listed with multiple agents to try and sell that property." "We want to make an offer, we want them to reject the offer. Because if they accept your offer, it means you have paid too much."
