Brilliant to deal with and fantastic…
Brilliant to deal with and fantastic idea for getting rewarded for spotting empty property! I got my vouchers and even got my 1% rewarded to me for a sale that was successful on an empty run down house.
They keep their word and update you regularly
I heard about this website through friends, and, aware of a house that had been empty for over two years, sadly, I thought I would try it out. I received regular updates and the bonus of a £20 M&S voucher, just for sending an email ! I am delighted and will look for more empty properties. They need to be brought back into use.
If I could give this lot a zero I would!
If I could give this lot a zero I would now if you want to be ripped off by a bald headed prick this property agent is for you. If you don't steer well away from this property agent

Its legit if you spot a valid property
I spotted a property and forgot about it. A month or so later I got an email to say thanks with a £20 Amazon code to redeem which I have successfully added to my account. I can't comment on how genuine thw 1% claim is yet but I look forward to finding out.
Great
Took me a while to “spot” a property that met the criteria, but when I finally did they were quick to confirm and send the voucher. Would highly recommend!
Let's get those empty homes occupied
Reported an empty property and have just received the £20 amazon gift voucher, hoping that they are successful in purchasing the property for the 1% finders fee.
Good communications and highly recommend, to get all those empty dilapidated properties occupied again.
Great experience good communication
This is genuine, received my m&s voucher fingers crossed for a sale.
Good Experience
Easy to contact and reach out to, when emailing the people involved they are engaged and personable.
Great experience
There was a property near me that had been empty for years so when I heard about You spot I sent a photo and some info, I was thrilled when I received my M & S voucher. I have now reported another one and just received another voucher. Fantastic.
Amazon voucher received
Another £20 gift card just for spotting a property…brilliant service.. Fingers crossed Property gets purchased and I’ll receive 1% of purchase price.. received £650 last year for another one
I love this scheme
I love this scheme . Easy to keep an eye out and who knows a cheque may head my way. The gift voucher is a nice touch.
Big fans of You Spot Property
We're big fans of You Spot Property. We've dobbed in a couple of empty properties and received our M&S vouchers; most welcome. We are, of course, hoping that one of the properties will be acquired and refurbished. Meanwhile, we're on the look out for more voucher-bearing opportunities.
I have not yet participated in this…
I have not yet participated in this scheme, though it is certaimly an interesting business model. Two caveats spring to mind : Firstly, the finders' commissions will almost certainly count as taxable income as far as HMRC is concerned. Secondly, the scheme will attract those with time on their hands and very probably on state benefits. By supplementing their income in this way, the most successful property hunters risk falling foul of the regulations attached to receiving Universal Credit, PIP, DLA, and even Pension Credit. Consider your position carefully in respect of the above matters before signing up, and make certain to stay on the right side of the law. What seems like easy money often comes with unforeseen consequences.

Fantastic experience
Fantastic experience,
I spotted a couple of empty properties so sent off the details.
Very quick form to complete, just upload a photo and enter the address of the property, followed by your details and what type of voucher you want and then sit back.
They are very quick to respond with whether the property is eligible or not (not a commercial property or been previously reported)
I successfully reported an eligible property only last month and today received £20 a
Amazon gift card code which i have redeemed.
So simple, I am unconsciously keeping an eye out for empty properties to report.
Easy to do and you get rewarded
Easy to do and you get rewarded with a voucher - what's not to love? Will be looking out for more empty properties!
They do exactly what they say they will…
They do exactly what they say they will. I spotted an empty house in my area, I submitted the details to You Spot Property and they sent me out a £20 M and S gift card via email.
Thanks so much 🧡🙏🧡
Received my voucher as promised
You Spot Property were very responsive and as promised I received a £20 Amazon gift card. Its good to know that they purchase property that's otherwise deteriorating and going to waste.
WHAT RIGHT does this company have to…
WHAT RIGHT does this company have to enlist the "help" of every nosey Tom, &Harry to seek out properties they see and assume are empty abandoned houses? And then contact this 'company ' in order to receive their "30 pieces of silver" for a job well done! HOW DO YOU KNOW these properties don't belong to someone who's mother, father, Aunty ,uncle or grandparents who've sadly either passed on or whom for whatever reason have now been rehomed in either a residential or Nursing home. The property may well have been willed to a relative and the estate is going through probate. THE LAST THING any owner (Legitimate) needs to deal with is companies like yours who are giving a cash incentive for information on empty properties jus so you can swoop in and perhaps purchase it for peanuts then either re-sell it at double or triple what you brought it for or rent it out to Lord knows who at an eye watering fee because of the obvious shortage of properties available Presently I suspect it's the latter scenario...I think irrespective of what your intentions are it's pretty disgusting and Nafarious! Shame on you! IN RESPONSE TO UR REPLY. I have no interest in contacting you to discuss anything I stand by EVERY WORD IVE SAID! Your motives are nafarious and Morally wrong. END OF

Most pleasant of surprises
At our previous home, the owner of the house behind ours had been taken into care and his house had fallen into disrepair with weeds growing over 6 feet tall and windows being broken.
It was an eyesore, dangerous and at risk of attracting rats or squatters.
After googling who I could report it to, thinking I would find a local council link or number, I found You Spot Property so reported the property to them and left a few details.
I was sent a very polite and quick response along with an Amazon voucher, just for reporting it.
Time went on, COVID, moved house, etc. and never expected to hear anything back.
To my surprise I received an email last week, asking for a number to contact me on as there was news. I mean... we're talking over 5 years later but finally the property was bought, and true to their word, You Spot Property are awarding me 1% of the sale as a finders fee.
There's no way I'd have ever known the property had been bought, or who by, so honestly, they could have just left it at that but they tracked me down and gave me the news.
For 2 minutes of my time, I'm receiving 1% of the sale of a house and was the best news of the week.
You have nothing to lose and everything to gain so I can't say it loud clearly, if you know of a property that is in a similar state, just do it.
If this sounds like it's written by someone associated with the company; I can't help that, but it's not often that I can be bothered to leave reviews. This time I had to.
UPDATE: Can now confirm I’ve been fully paid and the money went into my bank account 3 days ago. I’d give 6 stars if I could haha.
I just got my first 1% on a property…
I just got my first 1% on a property sold at £18000 got £180.ok got 7 £20 tokens for M&S so got 7meal for 2 . I seen the property on the market at offers over £15000 so can't 7 work it out. Seen a few property's I spotted sold. But got told it was not them that got them . Make of it what you like but £20 is ok.
