A double-glazing salesman has scoffed hundreds of kebabs thanks to his £1,700 side-hustle spotting empty homes.
Toby Yarrow, 46, from Portsmouth, goes door-to-door selling new windows around Hampshire.
But while scouring the streets for the homes of potential new customers, the German-born
businessman has his eyes peeled for a very different type of property.
Toby is constantly on the lookout for empty homes, knowing each successful spot will earn
him £20 – covering his weekly doner with chill sauce from local Copnor Grill kebab house.
If he identifies a property, he takes a snap on his phone and fires it over with the address to Empty Property Hunters – a London-based firm buying up vacant homes to return to use.
