Ayyesha was left baffled when she was handed £700 for reporting the property next door
A mum-of-three who lived next door to a locked-up and abandoned house for so long that fly-tippers would regularly dump their rubbish in the garden, was handed £700 for reporting it.
The website pays members for reporting abandoned homes. If the property you find meets the eligibility criteria - it is privately owned, not up for sale and no planning permission applied for recently - then you will initially be given a £20 voucher for M&S or Amazon.However, if YouSpotProperty purchase the property then you get a 1% share of the property value, up to £10,000.
“We knew who the owner was and tried to track him down, but he failed to respond to any of our concerns, much to our frustration.”To her amazement, the property was later tidied and placed on sale - and Ayyesha was stunned to receive an email from YouSpotProperty saying she was eligible for £700. “Initially, I thought I would be getting another voucher, following the £20 Amazon one I received in 2022 for spotting the house – I hadn’t clocked the 1% reward incentive linked to the firm actually purchasing the property.”
YouSpotPropert.com co-founder, Nick Kalms, said: “Dealing with empty homes is one of the most complex situations to resolve for local communities, as the reason they fall into this position is often so varied.
