Its a buyers market for sure...houses appear to be shifting in central Scotland but at lower prices, that's brilliant for any buyer so you have a lot of power.......I talk to various estate agents and solicitors, they have been moving steadily but no price increase as yet...you may have a couple of years before they even start to steady but again, that's good.
Some one on here suggested also looking at rental properties, the owner sometimes is happy to sell or is now letting because they cannot sell, I house I loved is now on the rental market but it needed too much money spending on it...Also lots of private house sales around, Gumtree is one Tepilo (Sarah Beeny )is another, houses for sale buy owner and sometimes you see phone numbers on houses, so its worth looking at an area that appeals to you and asking around or putting an add on something like Gumtree or here, I loved the house that Victorian Farmer was selling but its gone now!! It I had a few pennies to spare I would buy on one of the Islands or Perthshire....as my husband needs to work we need to stay put but for you Darkbrowneggs....the world (Scotland) is your oyster........
SOO exciting
