When a limited company is dissolved without properly disposing of its assets (like property), those assets automatically pass to the Crown as "bona vacantia" (ownerless goods). This includes houses, flats, land, garage sites, and more. We curate the best ones so you can buy at independent market value – often with huge upside.

Crown Assets Club is designed for:

• Property investors and flippers looking for overlooked, high-upside opportunities.
• Developers seeking infill plots, brownfield sites, ransom strips, or garage blocks with redevelopment potential.
• Experienced landlords/builders open to the high-risk, high-reward nature of bona vacantia/escheat acquisitions.
• Curious individuals with property knowledge who want structured guidance in a niche most miss.

How we help you prepare and succeed: We curate and deliver exclusive, filtered leads on unreferred bona vacantia properties (from daily scans of dissolved companies and public records), saving you hundreds of hours of manual hunting.

Members get:

• Tailored leads (up to 40 per elite member, customized by region/budget/type).
• Practical toolbox: BVC2 referral templates, prioritization spreadsheets, objection letter generators, post-disclaimer enquiry checklists, and guide letters to Burges Salmon/Crown Estate.
• Educational resources: Guides on the full BV process (referral → disclaimer → escheat → potential resale), common pitfalls, and specialist solicitor recommendations.
• Private community (WhatsApp group) to network, share wins, and learn from others.

We arm you to act fast on promising leads, submit strong referrals to the BVD, navigate disclaimers/escheat effectively, and perform your own due diligence—maximizing your chances in this high-risk space while minimizing avoidable costs and mistakes. No guarantees of success (BV often has dead ends), but our tools and leads give prepared members a real edge. Always consult your own solicitor before proceeding.

Yes! Although this information is available to the public, our custom software scans thousands of dissolved companies and cross-checks with the London Gazette. Elite members get 40 filtered, bona vacantia leads (properties from dissolved companies), tailored to their regions, budget, and type of asset.

No — we curate thousands of potential bona vacantia leads from public sources (Companies House dissolutions + Land Registry cross-references), but not every lead will result in a successful purchase.

Why not?

• Some titles may have pre-dissolution transfers (the company no longer owns it by the time of dissolution).
• The dissolved company may only be one of several registered owners (partial share only).
• Other issues (disclaimers, occupation, charges, restrictions) can appear during due diligence.

Important note: We do not perform full title checks (e.g., confirming current registered proprietors or pre-dissolution transfers) on every lead. Doing so would require purchasing the full title register (£7 each) for thousands of leads — costing hundreds of thousands of pounds, which would make the membership unaffordable.

Instead, we focus on high-confidence filtering using public data to give you the best starting point. Members are expected to do their own due diligence (starting with the free title summary preview on gov.uk, then £7 full register only on promising ones).

Our promise: We deliver leads that are unreferred and appear strong based on available public records — but BV is a high-risk, high-reward niche. Not every lead will work out, and success depends on your follow-up, solicitor input, and timing. Dead ends are normal in BV — even the best leads can hit disclaimers, charges, or pre-dissolution transfers.
But every referral you make benefits from the pro-tools: generators, templates, checklists that save thousands in solicitor costs.
The leads are the bonus; the tools are the long-term money-saver.

No automatic discount. The Crown sells at independent District Valuer market value (fair and transparent). The real win is accessing overlooked assets others miss, plus development/rental/flip potential that can far exceed the purchase price.

As soon as possible! Good leads can attract multiple referrals. Once you spot one you like, submit a BVC2 form straight away (we provide a template). Recent dissolutions give the best chance of a smooth sale.

The Crown (via BVD, Crown Estate, or Duchies) sells at independent District Valuer market value - not discounted, but fair and transparent. The real "win" is accessing these assets at a true market price that others don't even know exist, often with room for value-add (renovation, planning, rental). The price is ordinary (Crown), but the opportunity is extraordinary.

Disclaimer by the Bona Vacantia Division is the most common outcome when referring a property via the BVC2 form. It's their standard way of protecting the Crown (and taxpayers) from potential liabilities, costs, or complications with the land or building.

Important: A disclaimer does NOT mean the lead is dead. For freehold properties, disclaimer automatically triggers escheat to the Crown Estate. This means the freehold title is extinguished (treated as if it never passed to the Crown), and the property now falls under the Crown Estate's management. The Crown Estate is often willing to consider transferring or selling their interest back into private ownership — especially for sites with redevelopment potential, good location, or where a credible buyer can address any issues.

Club support: Check our guides section for:

• "Post-Disclaimer Approach to Burges Salmon" template letter/email.
• Checklist: What to include in your Crown Estate enquiry.
• Common pitfalls and how members have navigated them.
• Recommended specialist solicitors (many with escheat experience) for tailored help.

Remember: Disclaimer is a pivot, not an end. Many valuable properties only become available this way. Persistence, strong preparation (redevelopment proposals), and specialist legal input are key.

Always consult a solicitor experienced in bona vacantia/escheat before proceeding, as costs and risks apply.

No, Crown Assets Club is an independent platform, we have no official affiliation, partnership, or connection with the Crown Estate, the Bona Vacantia Division, the Government Legal Department, or the Royal Family.

Our weekly leads cover a wide range; from 3-bedroom houses and small blocks of flats, to garage blocks, garden infill plots, ransom strips, commercial yards, and even hotels and shopping centres. We focus on properties with strong potential upside (whether for redevelopment, consolidation, rental, or resale), but value is subjective: what looks like a gem to one member might be a pass for another. New drops arrive routinely, so log in regularly to see the latest, and browse the Vault for hundreds of archived leads whenever you’re ready.

No guarantees. Property always involves due diligence, planning, and market risks. But many BV investors recoup costs (and more) on their first successful deal by adding value through renovation, development, or rental.

Absolutely. Your membership cancels instantly. No hard feelings!

Members often report saving significantly on solicitor fees by using our templates, checklists, and educational resources — frequently enough to offset or exceed the membership cost after just one successful deal.
 

These savings come from being better prepared (for example, accurate BVC2/BVC4 submissions, knowing what to check in title registers, avoiding common pitfalls) so solicitors spend less time on groundwork.

Of course, results vary depending on the lead, your situation, and solicitor rates, but many members say the tools pay for themselves quickly when a lead progresses.
