What’s Happening in the Scottish Property Market and Property Prices – MOV8 Real Estate June 2012 Update
Hope you enjoyed the longest day of the year. About the only thing that can be said is that we had an extended period of daylight in which to watch the rain stoating off the pavements outside our windows. This isn’t a random whinge…the property market in June certainly hasn’t been helped by the weather. Below…

Predictions for the Property Market in Scotland for the Next Year or Two. Will Property Prices Fall, Will There Be More Buyers, Are Attitudes to Home Ownership Changing, and the Like…
I was asked recently to provide some predictions for a national newspaper about where the property market was heading for the next couple of years. The questions got me thinking in some detail about these issues and I ended up writing a lot more than I actually sent back to the paper: certainly more than…

Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors July 2011 Housing Market Survey – Not What We’re Seeing
The monthly Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) Survey has just come out and makes for fairly gloomy reading. However, what it is saying is not what we are seeing in the parts of Scotland we operate in so please note the comments later in this piece after the coverage of what the RICS survey…

Monthly Scottish Property Market Update – May 2011
Post-Royal Wedding, Post-Plethora of Bank Holiday Weekends, Post-School Holidays, How Has the Property Market Been in May 2011? I’ll be honest: April 2011 was a disappointing month in the property market. The holidays and other distractions certainly took their toll.

What’s the Property Market Like at the Moment? Summary: It’s a Charlotte Church Property Market ‘What?’, I hear you gasp, ‘I do hope that he’s not being mean to National Treasure and no.2 only to Cheryl Cole in the nation’s collective affections?’ No, of course I’m not being mean to her. I think she’s a…

Property Market Update July 2013 – Press, Prices and Comment by MOV8 Real Estate
Phew…has it been hot this month?! So, whilst we’ve basked outside, narrowly avoided heatstroke in our offices and on public transport, and nearly had a heart attack when Andy Murray threw away three match points at Wimbledon before giving the nation the result that it craved, the good news is that it’s not just been…

What’s Happening in the Scottish Property Market and Property Prices – MOV8 Real Estate July 2012 Update
It’s summer holiday time and conventional wisdom has it that this is one of the quieter times of year in the property market. Conventional wisdom also has it that, come the end of the school holidays, the property market picks up again, partly because people aren’t distracted by having to keep little ones amused every…

Monthly Scottish Property Market News – June 2011
I have grown very tired (yawn!) this past month of reading so much negativity in the Press about the property market and property prices. I’ve also got rather annoyed at some of our competitors for, I feel, rather negligently propagating these types of stories. So I thought in this post I would: tell you exactly…

June 2010 – Monthly Scottish Property Market Update
Apologies for the slightly late posting of this month’s property market update. The only excuse I have is that, as business goes from strength to strength, our head valuer has been off on holiday this past week and a half and I am filling in for him in his absence and, quite honestly, I’ve got…
