new property industry

georgiou82 · Mar 22, 2006

I have learned of a new property industry:

Instead of buy-to-let.

The new one is build to let.

Picked up

yep, just checked and i got it registered.

Only did it earlier on so may be a delay. what do you think of the names?

You don't own these domains.

not the .co.uk anyway.

Rereg them if you want them.

They are still free.

No match for "buildtolet.co.uk".

This domain name has not been registered.

they are in my account. how long does it normally take then?

aqls · Mar 22, 2006

Put it this way, I wouldn't go around posting on forums if they are not yet regged!

It takes as long as their stupid software takes to reg it (who is it?)

I'm pretty sure any TAG can confirm that registering is instant <20 milliseconds, once the order is put into Numbnuts.

Anyone can go register these domains whilst your registrar pees around manually retyping your info onto a slip of parchment and feeding the pigeon prior to flight (or whatever they do!)

Showing up as registered now in your name.

Registered using 1 & 1

Thank goodness for that. A valuable lesson learned!

back to the names, i think they are pretty good and can see this being a big market. Any views?

I advise you change your registrar, 90 mins to register a domain is truly shocking.

build2let.com?

unless your register is still trying?

georgiou82 · Mar 22, 2006

does the fact that a few are looking at what is still available with these terms tells me that they may very well be domains with some potential guys?

any feedback here

Not it means they are pile of crap since no one even wants to touch the .com but I guess I am wasting my breath telling you that.

having a bad day jalpope?

georgiou82 · Mar 22, 2006

thats why you are looking at the thread you amateur! What names have you got as I don't see any posts from your sorry self???

I suppose you'd reg the .com if you had the £10 or knew anything about property! haha

jalpope · Mar 22, 2006

You asked for feedback and you got it. Whether you like or not thats upto you.

georgiou82 · Mar 22, 2006

personally I can see these being the next 'buytolet' equivalent. And i have some good information on this from a reliable source

BFTUK · Mar 22, 2006

Knowing a little about the property business, i'd say these domains have potential. It won't be as big as buy2let because it won't be accessible for a large amount of the population.

I don't see much resale value as standalone domains (but then i rarely do!) but could have useful longterm development prospects.

(or)...while selectively breeding a pigeon for plumage to match Nominet's purple logo....to carry the parchment to Oxford... so that should it fly overhead we'll all know it's the one to shoot down.
