Artemis Special Situations

Artemis often gets property deals that most investors would find unusual. We call these situations. Many are not on the open market, and they take more work to buy than an ordinary purchase.

Artemis works out the basic facts of each one, checks it against every registered mandate, and sends it to the buyers it fits. We score every fit the same way, and each one tells you why it was sent to you.

The approach

We Read It.
We Match It.
We Send It On.

Every situation comes in through one form. Artemis works out the basic facts, checks it against every registered mandate and sends it to the buyers it fits. Artemis does not advertise or list them.

Situations

01Circumstantial

About the seller

It’s about the person’s circumstances, not the property. This sets the timetable and the discount, and it’s the part an ordinary agent can’t deal with.

  • Death and probate, including property held pending grant
  • Debt, arrears and repossession
  • Divorce, separation and directed sales
  • Insolvency, receivers and administrators
  • A bridging facility approaching term without an exit
  • A hard deadline: emigration, a chain break, a sale that keeps falling through

02Tenurial and Occupational

About tenure and who lives there

Who is in it, and on what basis it is held. The property itself is often fine; establishing who has what right over it, and getting them out, is not.

  • Squatters and occupiers with no agreement
  • Unknown or undocumented tenancies
  • Tenants in arrears
  • Possession proceedings already under way
  • Regulated or protected tenancies
  • Hoarding, or vacant possession that cannot be given
  • Short lease, with enfranchisement not started
  • Defective, unregistered or missing title
  • Restrictive covenants, easements and third-party rights
  • Absent freeholder, or a defective lease structure

03Regulatory

About the law

What the law requires before the property can be sold, let or borrowed against. A mainstream lender won’t lend until it’s sorted, which is why it comes to you.

  • Works carried out without consent, or a retrospective application
  • Enforcement notices and building regulations breaches
  • An HMO unlicensed, or licensed below its actual use
  • Cladding and remediation obligations
  • Derelict, or below the statutory standard for letting
  • Listed building or conservation area breach
  • Lapsed consent, unmet obligations, or a part-built scheme with no sign-off
Register a Mandate 

04Composite

Two or more situations

More than one of the above at once. These take the most work, and Artemis does that work before sending anything to you. They also have the widest margins, because most investors won’t look at them.

  • Probate where an occupier will not leave
  • Repossession pending on a property below the letting standard
  • Divorce where one party remains in occupation
  • An HMO in arrears and licensed below its actual use
  • A stalled site with a facility approaching term
  • A portfolio where tenure and occupancy differ unit by unit
Register a Mandate 

A mandate can be as narrow or as broad as you like. Tell Artemis you’ll only look at one of these categories, and that’s all we’ll send you. Your exclusions are applied the same way as everything else you tell us.

How We Work

01

Registration

Tell Artemis what you buy: where, what kind of property, the situations you’ll look at, how you fund, how fast you can move, and what you won’t consider.

02

Submission

Owners, executors, directors and introducers all use the same form. They tell us what documents exist, what debt there is and any confidentiality limits.

03

Assessment

Artemis works out the basics: who can sell, the debt and who has to agree, tenure, who lives there, and what’s still unresolved. Anything we don’t know is shown as not known. We never fill it in, and on its own it doesn’t hold a situation back.

04

Matching

Mandates and situations are described in the same terms, so we can compare them point by point and score the fit the same way every time. Your exclusions are checked at the same time as everything else.

05

Sending

You get the same summary every time, in the same order. Each one says why it was sent to you and what’s still unresolved. Artemis only shares details that identify the property once you say you want them.

Bring Us a Situation

I Have a Property Situation

You own it, or you’re able to sell it for someone: a joint owner, an executor or administrator, a director, a receiver or an administrator. Send it to Artemis and we’ll tell you whether we can take it on, either way. It costs nothing, commits you to nothing, and Artemis doesn’t take any stake in the property by receiving it.
