May 2010 – Monthly Scottish Property Market Update My last monthly property market update went out just before the General Election. Since then the political landscape in the UK has changed dramatically. The big question for this monthly Scottish property market update is: what is happening in the property market today and how will the…
For just a brief week or so there it looked like our ‘Top Ten Tips for Selling in Autumn’ might have been redundant as soon as they were published, with ‘Selling in Winter’ being a more appropriate title for the article. Thankfully, order seems to have been restored and the trees are turning a lovely…
Well, we wondered what was going to happen this month, what with the Olympics being finished and everyone finally having their children back at school. We expected it to be busy. However, we didn’t expect it to be THIS busy! The property market has taken off in a way that we really didn’t expect. This…

The nights are fair drawing in, aye. But with shorter days and longer nights we haven’t seen any slowing-down of the property market. Quite the opposite. It appears that, in the absence of being able to go out and actually do anything else in the evenings, more and more people are taking that time to…
It’s been another quite surprising month so far this month. If you were under the impression that we would all be preparing, as estate agents, for hibernation then, regardless if that was the plan, the fact is that we are pretty far from bedding down in the straw of our lovely, cosy cave. However, before…
