in the worst area of my town a terraced in need of extensive rennovation, ie more than likely condemned and ud never ever get rid of it, surrounded by scumbags/drug dealers etc is going for offers over 65k

my dad bought one years ago (Doesnt have it now) for 8k i think. prob around 02

Cant you just buy a shiter over where you stay and renovate ?

Glasgow is just as expensive as anywhere else, including england and ireland, unless you are in the ghettos.

yeah thats the kinda thing were not sure about lol

Cheap houses in Glasgow are in dumps.

yeah, by council tax u mean the rates??

thing about the mainland is its very handy and not that expensive to get over.

over here i think house prices will stay as they are or maybe drop over the next few years because people here simply cant afford to buy them

personally wouldnt buy somewhere to rent out that I couldnt be nearby to check on or get to sharpish if something goes wrong.

Also, house prices arent really going to rise too much (some places will be better than others, and some will drop) for it to be worthwhile - not much money really going to be raised in the grand scheme of things!

hey guys, house prices over here have totally rocketed over the last few years than tbh in a rough area a flat will cost 150k. not many young couples can afford to buy here any more.

thinkin of this me and my mates were thinkin of going halfers on a small semi or apartment on the mainland or scotland. not sure where to look at the minute really. hoping for ideas on here.

have been thinkin somewhere like glasgow altho not sure of the areas etc, have saw flats from 60k+ and semis from 100+. obviously these houses arent mint mint, but would do to buy imo and rent for a few years to give better chances of getting a mortage over here when the time comes

anyone know any other places where u could get similar houses/apartments at that kind of money
