Value of NNNN.uk domains

[Momo.Domains]

Hello,

Just wanted to know if there is any value in 4N .uk domains?

Thanks

Absolutely none. Don't get dragged into believing that uk domains follow the same pattern as dot coms. Welcome to Acorn.

Thanks for the info
Does it go same for .co.uk domains too?

.co.uk are generally worth more than .uk

llll domains are generally worthless, unless a word, an acronym, or something potentially brandable.

I registered a few early on, but only hold one or two brandables now.

lll names are valuable though.

Roughly how much ...do you know? Do they have a floor price like LLLL.com and about 250 usd.

But my query is about NNNN (numeric domains) and not LLLL

Thanks

You never see an lll.co.uk sell for less than £200-250 on DL - even for low quality letters.

llls with better letters normally make £500-750.

llls that are words, names or common acronyms usually quite a bit higher still.

So sorry - had totally missed that.

In that case, almost every nnnn is completely worthless. There will be a few exceptions (0800, 0207 and the like), but you won't find any buyers for the usual random stuff

(0800, 0207 and the like)

Any reference to such patterns? or reasons for those exceptions?

Popular phone prefixes (area codes, free phone services, premium rate lines, etc.)

They're very very very unlikely to be still available, so if you find a free to register nnnn.co.uk then it's going to be 99.999% likely it's still available because it has no particular meaning or significance here, and therefore no potential buyers.

if you find a free to register

I was not looking at hand registering ones

Thanks everybody your responses will help me in making some informed decisions

With the greatest of respect, if you don't know why 0207 may have some value, then targeting UK domain purchases rather than registrations, with little knowledge of the UK may be your downfall. Proceed with extreme caution. You did the right thing asking on here first.

And to be honest, most telephone area codes aren't *that* valuable anyway.

From the flag on your profile, it seems you're in Japan. Why not focus on domains that might sell in your local market?

I do sell in my local market (Japan) and even in some other markets (US, China, India) and plan is expanding into other markets (like UK, US and some more) that's why the research on value of different domain patterns.
