where can I find a period property to renovate - has anyone done this?

[loveroflife]

is there any auction websites that list wrecks that you can do up?

the local estate agents are useless and besides have their contacts that any rundown properties get passed to...

has anyone managed to find a dream period property and renovated it? if so, how do you find it?

thank you

Plus, if listed, your local conservation officer makes a huge difference. Our new CO (touch wood) seems a treasure. Long may it last...
