We Also Help Lighthouse Owners Sell Their Buildings

FREE OF ANY CHARGE

We can do this because we are NOT an estate agent.

Lighthouse-owning volunteers run the…

Lighthouse Bulletin

BY lighthouse owners FOR lighthouse owners.

It also helps us to help you sell your lighthouse buildings (at no charge, nor fee) as we are lucky enough to have a cosy group of 10,000 friends and colleagues on social media. This helps us spread the news about your lighthouse buildings being for sale.

Plus a lot of news that is aimed at helping lighthouse owners keep their buildings “Ship shape and Bristol fashion.”

^^ 10,000 Friends & Colleagues On Social Media ^^

^^ This Helps Us Help You ^^

The thing that really helps is when a lighthouse building for sale goes “viral” in a good way, not a crappyvirus way).

By the word “viral” on social media, we mean actual numbers such as these….

186,399 Views!

Just One Example

^^ This 186,399 Number ^^

Knocked Our Socks Off!

It also helps other lighthouse building owners sell their property.

If in doubt, just ask your estate agent…

“How many buyers do they have on their list?

“How much does the estate agent charge?

“Can the estate agent sell my lighthouse building without charging a fee?”

***********

Better Still

Just dial the number at the top of the page and have a chat about placing your lighthouse buildings for sale with the long-established Unique Property Bulletin (here) and the newly registered Lighthouse Bulletin.

As we are a not-for-profit entity run by lighthouse-owning volunteers for fellow lighthouse owners, we can do this for you and many lighthouse friends for FREE.

You might like to “follow” our social media pages to study how we can and actually do help folk sell their lighthouse buildings.

We also aim to assist folk who may be struggling to renovate or maintain their buildings. Neist Point Lighthouse Station and Ailsa Craig Lighthouse Stations are examples of the reason WHY we are creating the…

“National Lighthouse Preservation Trust“

Credentials

Post Script: Just in case you are wondering: Who? What? Why? Where? How? When? in relation to this Lighthouse Bulletin, we shall be uploading our credentials and bona fides in the coming weeks as this Lighthouse Bulletin is compressively updated and overhauled.

Along with regular special features to help you decide if lighthouse life is suited to you and you to it. We will do this via articles and features with

A]. Many dozens of YOUR lighthouse building purchase and renovation projects from around the UK.

Plus…

B]. The current tally of our 28 lighthouse buildings from within the FIVE lighthouse stations our crew have lived in over past 40 years.

And…

C]. A total relaunch of our HOLIDAY RENTAL section. So you can enjoy a taste of lighthouse life to see for real if you like it and it likes you. We deliberately repeat this part as it is incredibly important that you try before you buy.

Not Forgetting…

D]. The new charity being registered and born from this website.

Why? To ensure the likes of Ailsa Craig Lighthouse Station and Neist Point Lighthouse Station, plus any other lighthouse buildings at risk, are helped and the owners supported insofar as we are able, to reverse the deterioration, of these iconic buildings.

The last thing any person, passionate about these buildings would want, is a bulldozer wipe out hundreds of years of life-saving history. Distressingly there are two lighthouse stations where a demolition order will be the only option before long…

Doomed? Not If We Can Help It

Ailsa Craig – Former Keepers’ Cottages: Derelict

^^ We Cannot Get The Owner To Respond (Here) ^^
 ^^ So Seeking A Compulsory Purchase Order ^^
^^ Is The Only Option ^^

The rescue of Ailsa Craig’s neglected buildings is now way past urgent.

There is another set of lighthouse buildings in serious jeopardy. Our understanding is that there was a tragic loss and the original owner is no longer around to complete their great start.

So we are seeking a dialogue to see if there is any way we, or the new lighthouse charity can help the owner of this truly iconic place…

Amber Alert: In Serious Jeopardy

Neist Point Lighthouse Station: Semi-Derelict

This is one of the most photographed lighthouse locations in the world. We know as we have been living in lighthouse buildings and publishing a lighthouse journal for over 40 years. From our extensive records, this is in the top 5 lighthouse stations on the planet. It seems to have an “X” factor. Maybe you agree? Disagree?

One thing is for sure: the lighthouse buildings are in a desperately troubling state.

If there is anything we can do to help the lady responsible, please feel free to get in touch: 0757 2768 795.

We are a not-for-profit website and soon to give birth to the third charity from these pages. So our aim s purely to see the deterioration halted and the buildings made safe, then renovated so that they form a useful function.

Ideally as holiday rentals. Why? Because a portion of the income can be ringfenced to guarantee regular maintenance forevermore.

How About You?

Would you like to live in a lighthouse station?

If you read our main director’s biography, you will see that it just took £5 a year to get started on Davaar Island. Plus a lot of hard work.

Here is a clearer picture of our Old Lookout Station ~ the place where this publication was born…

^^ Sailing By The Old Lookout Station ^^
^^ Alamy Fee Paid: Here ^^

The money we saved up (over £30,000) from paying only £5 rent a year for the original old ruin, helped give a wonderful 40 year set of lighthouse adventures across 5 lighthouse stations and 28 lighthouse buildings. Plus the same numbers again (and more) as our friends joined in 🙂 .

If we can do this ~ and our main director is an old disabled cop along the lines of Ironside (here).

Then surely YOU can too? If you wish?

Our next effort will be the Land Reform Act compulsory purchase of the Ailsa Craig Lighthouse Station.

At the end of that, if all goes according to plan, there will be at least FOUR affordable dwellings (and the ability to remote commute).

The other lighthouse station that is giving cause for concern is Neist Point.

But the owners are contactable and we are hoping to be able to lend a hand.

TEXT is by far the most efficient form of communication from your good selves to our team here as for safety, the mobile phones are switched OFF whilst driving. We always return messages received via text. This is done once we arrive at the destination and the mobile phone is switched back on. However, the older of the mobile devices is 11 years of age and drops the occasional text.

^^ Sometimes It Feels Like This ^^

^^ Handcuffed To The Phone & Computer ^^

The range of adventures and mischief we all get up to with unique property, make this one of the best (unpaid) jobs in the world 🙂

Meanwhile with respect to TEXTS…

You should receive a text reply within 1 to 4 hours.

Frequently we reply within 5 to 10 minutes.

If you have not received a text reply within 24 hours, please either resend to us the text, or make contact on the phone via old-fashioned voice contact.
