    we are brainwashed into thinking that the best investment we can make in life is property - this is wrong.

    edinburgh property prices are set for a major shakeup.
    im constantly keeping my eye on the market and a lot of our clients are property agents and architects.
    on the market at the moment there is a growing number of "fixed price" places up for sale rather than this stupid "offers over" price malarky. this shows that the 'offers over' system isnt fooling anyone anymore and people are struggling to get the stupid prices they WISH they could get for their homes.

    Puss, if you are young and single then renting IS the best option as some rental prices are pretty good at the moment and you dont have to take on any responsibilities. if the heating breaks down then your landlord fixes it - no worries ;)

    The market at the moment for buyers is pretty good, theres a decent amount of good fixed price places on the market. - Assumign you have about £200,000 kicking about lol.

    it is all getting better though.
    im just saving my pennies as i do want a place at the new fountainbridge development in the future.

    kelpie, i'd rather the place had full glass frontage rather than some of the scottish architecture you see that put stupidly small windows on flats that have awesome views gagging to be looked at outside. this is in keeping with OLD scottish architecture like the old buildings on the mile - at a time when windows NEEDED to be small so that they kept the heat in and the cold out. nowadays theres no need! for small windows!
