The Hunt · Updated as we go
The Search So Far
Every derelict we've vetted from the listings — and the honest reason we ruled it out or kept watching. We haven't stood in a single one yet; this is the desk-work that decides which few are worth the drive. It's the best free lesson on the site: watch what kills a "bargain" before it kills your budget. Every entry is checked against the freeclay rating first.
The whole search scored out of 100 and lined up best to worst — the league table behind this log.
