Someone asked about EIG - It does cost about £150 or so a quarter (or £480 a year or something around there). It is a great resource if you are looking for certain types of properties - I trend to focus on specific development type projects so I would ABSOLUTELY recommend the service. I find quite a few deals a year, and the time and effort it saves in not having to trawl through auction catalogues is immense. Then again, if your strategy is perhaps BMV - then you will be sourcing your own deals and might not find it that useful.
