A lot of investors chase probate deals because they feel familiar and visible. But there’s another off-market route that stays almost completely under the radar. Here’s a quick comparison: Probate Sales (Deceased Estates) Source: Property owned by someone who died without known heirs Visibility: Often marketed publicly on Rightmove/auctions Competition: High (very popular with investors) Process: Through executors and solicitors Timeline: Usually 3–12 months Company Bona Vacantia (BV) Source: Property owned by a now-dissolved limited company Visibility: Almost completely hidden Competition: Extremely low (99% of investors never see these) Process: Direct BVC2 referral to the Crown Timeline: 6–18 months (mostly passive waiting) Probate is more popular. Company BV is more exclusive. If you want genuine off-market assets with minimal competition, company BV might be the edge you’ve been looking for. Crownassetsclub.com
