Re: Target estate your interested in via leaflets
It also creates alot of paper waste - my pet hate. Personally I hate those flyers estate agents put around telling me that Mr & Mrs X want to buy my house. I even had a handwritten note on unheaded paper pushed through my letterbox once by an agent. It's presumptious and intrusive, but then again I suppose a potential vendor might be pleased enough.

We have a local free newspaper delivered to all houses in our area - if there's a similar paper in the area you're interested in, it might be an idea to place and ad in the property section stating your interest.

Re: Target estate your interested in via leaflets
Hi Question,
An acquaintance of mine bought her house in this manner. She targeted
the estate she wanted to live in (which amounted to about 80 houses)
She wrote quite a personal letter which was printed not photocopied and
she got a very good resonse. People might hate estate agents but
a regular joe bloggs trying to cut out the middle man by using his/her initiative seemed to have its appeal.
They actually got two or three replies quite soon after and went to speak
to the people involved individually and signed a contract very soon afterward
with no hassle whatsoever. I think its a great idea as it means your not
dealing with a faceless buyer (or seller) and there's less anxiety about being
gazumped. she found it a very positive experience which is saying something.
GO FOR IT.

My sister also bought this way. It was a small estate and they dropped in leaflets. On her rounds she got speaking to a lady who told them xxx house was coming on the market ... and they subsequently bought it.
