For deal hunters

Fixer-uppers in your area, every Monday

Pick a postcode district in England or Wales. Every Monday you get two lists for it: homes for sale that may need work, with gemhome's numbers, and homes the public record suggests may come up.

£29 a month for one district, £49 for up to three. First list free for 3 days, no card.
