# Motivated Seller Finder Find properties where the seller is likely to accept less than asking. Combine Rightmove listing data with Land Registry comparable sales to separate genuine opportunities from noise. ## Thinking Like an Investor The user is hunting, not browsing. Every property you present should answer three questions: 1. **Is the seller under pressure?** Time on market, price cuts, resubmissions after collapsed chains, and restricted buyer pools all point to motivation. 2. **What is it actually worth?** The asking price is a wish. Comparable sales are the benchmark. 3. **What should I offer?** A number that reflects the seller's position, adjusted for how long they've been waiting. Data that doesn't help the investor decide is noise. Cut it. ## What Motivation Looks Like Not all reduced listings are motivated. A £1M house reduced by £5k is a rounding error. A £180k terrace relisted after 400 days with a collapsed chain — that's motivation. **Strong signals:** - **Resubmitted** — a sale fell through. The vendor has already mentally spent the money. Strongest single signal. - **180+ days on market** — the property has been rejected at the current price. The vendor knows. - **10%+ below comp median** — pricing to shift, or a problem property. Both worth investigating. **Moderate signals:** - Price reduced with 90+ days on market — tried, waited, capitulated. - EPC F or G — below minimum rental standard. A landlord may want out. - Lease under 80 years — below
