IPDS auction site

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but before I part with my cash, I wanted to ask if anyone subscribes to IPDS, and whether they had any opinions on it?

Forget that website, its a waste of money -
Have a look at this link - http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1151739&highlight=property+auction+websites

Also, http://propertyauctionaction.co.uk/

Use the search function for keywords on this site and you should find more.

Hi
I would probably agree with ray123; seems like a waste of money. Can’t see what they can tell you that you can’t find out for free. You
can get a list of all UK property auctions from the Institute Of Chartered Surveyor’s link below;

www.rics.org/Practiceareas/Property/Auctioneering/

Not sure what area of the UK you are looking in but below are links to
auction websites that have properties mainly in the London and South East area.
http://www.allsop.co.uk http://www.a-r.co.uk/Auctions/
http://www.savills.co.uk
http://www.willmotts.com
http://www.drivers.co.uk/auction/current.htm
and Bernard Marcus (goggle this one)

Also the Essential Information Group http://www.eigroup.co.uk website. Here you
can access most auction lot details and catalogues. You do pay a subscription
but worth it I think if you really know what you are looking for and want to
search for the type of property you want in your chosen area. For example you
could set a search for 2 bed flats in South East London. They then would send
you email alerts if any auction catalogue has such a property. You can also
look at what has sold in past auctions. You can access all this info for free
as a lot of auctions now have catalogues online now, however worth paying the
EIG subscription to have it all easily accessible in one place.

Hope this helps.

Excellent links everyone!

A follow on question: is there a time efficient way of finding property being sold by 'out of area' auctioneers? My area is serious commuter country (rural Northants, Warks, Leics), and the type of place I am looking for is low value derelict buildings or building plot, that may well have been purchased by chancers who were feeling wealthy, didn' t really know what they were doing, and now just want to cash it in asap. The concern is missing out because a commuter has used the auctioneer or EA, next door to their office in London, rather than the local guy, and they haven' t been too careful about advertising it well because of the low value.

Thanks for this.
Is there any way of getting the EIG info for free even if it means searching for it myself?
How labour intensive is it?
