I was skeptical, they came through
I was absolutely skeptical about this process at first, it seemed like a great concept but with no way of knowing whether I would truly he the first to report a property (i.e. I could report, they could record it, and then just tell me someone else had reported it first) I could just be giving away contact information to scammers.
However, about a week after sending in details of an empty property I'd been walking past for weeks on the school route, I got an email confirming it met their criteria. And then, some five or six weeks later, I got my £20 Amazon gift card. I've since had a second reported property confirmed and waiting for my second gift card.
I have no idea if I'll ever get the 1% finder's fee from purchase of these properties, but hey, £40 is £40, and if they do get purchased and renovated, that's two more families owning their own home.
They are scammers
They are scammers. I tried to request non-conformity check of houses in italy (thats actually a his job to see if the house is LEGALLY available to sell) and double check in some properties because many of these cheapest house HAS DEBT/ILLEGAL CONSTRUCTION in compare with the goverment documents, and if you ask that the onwer Iain is like "alpha male" talking and shut you down when you ask any question futher.
He is basically there's new GenZ who saw a tiktok video about to have easy money by intermediate house properties and doesnt know anything about european laws.
Avoid him to all costs.
BTW you can buy way cheaper houses in open market.

Reply from You Spot Property
Great reward for spotting empty properties
I spotted a property last September and applied for a voucher but didn’t receive it until March this year but did eventually receive it so all okay and very happy.
This really isn't a scam!
I have submitted 6 reports 4 of which weren't accepted for reasons which were made clear in their response. The last two fit their criteria so I am now £40 better off with the potential for more if they buy the properties. This seems an excellent way of getting derelict properties back into use.
Quick Turnaround from Spotting to Voucher
Great idea to use the public to spot and then renovate millions of houses sitting empty in the UK. 14 days from spotting an empty property to getting a thank-you voucher from M&S. Hopefully the place thats been annoying neighbours will move on to sale and redevelopment in due course. Thanks
I enjoy looking around my local area to find a property.
I enjoy looking around my local area to see if there is any property's that You Spot Property might be interested in.
When I do find one it is so easy to notify them online and if they are interested you get a reward for sending it up.
If they are not you get a nice email to say no not this time but keep on looking for another one.
So it is that easy, I will certainly keep on looking.
Empty property reported 23 Feb
Empty property reported 23 Feb, response for more information 28th, and positive news 2nd Mar. Received the promised £20 Amazon gift card yesterday (27th), and successfully redeemed. Recommended and worthwhile national social housing campaign. Well done.

This is such a great experience
This is such a great experience. I have found a couple of houses. The voucher comes very quickly. A lot quicker than they say. I enjoy looking for new ones. 10 out of 10

Spotted an empty property and reported it. Within a week I receuved confirmation that it hadnt been reported before and so id be eligible for the gift card and yhe following week I received the gift card.
A good scheme to help do something about all the local knowledge with empty houses which could be transformed into beautiful homes.
Review for you spot property by Mr G
Great experience.Review spot property.It's a quick and easy simple to use.I have referred seven properties and received a £20 voucher each time

Great idea...have successfully spotted 2 properties and received my voucher.
Super Easy and Trustworthy
Sent one picture and the address of the property. Emailed a month later to say my “spot” had met the criteria and received the gift card the next day. If nothing else comes of it, I certainly can’t complain at £20 for basically doing nothing.
Pleasantly surprised
It is sad to see an empty house and came across you spot property by chance. I have just received my £20 and am pleasantly surprised. I hope these homes get a new lease of life.
Great company to deal with
Great company to deal with. They have done exactly as described and I now have my £20 voucher 🙂
Spotting empty properties for You Spot Property
Spotted a couple properties now and You Spot Property have sent me two M&S vouchers as a thank you. Just hope You Spot Property can purchase the properties and bring them back into circulation.
Learnt about this company by chance
Learnt about this company by chance, reported an empty property, and they did the rest. Already received £40 so far from an Amazon Gift Card. It's so important to report an empty house that could be made into a house that can be appreciated and can be called home.

I was told by a friend about this scheme as we were walking past a derelict house on my road, I was very sceptical but it’s all true!! I just received my Amazon voucher, I’m over the moon! Ultimately we will benefit as well as this may help the house to be sold and look nicer for the whole street! I’m made up!
