Westendorfer Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Depends on the state of the flat, but vanderark is probably not far off. Any solicitor worth his salt should be able to tell you recent sale prices for similar flats in BoD. Link to comment

Baggy89 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 The market will never go "tits up" to an extent that property prices will not recover to the same and higher values. I'm fairly certain that property prices have, on average, doubled every seven years, for the past 50 - 60 years even taking into account dips due to recessions etc. Also if the market does go tits up property won't become more affordable, as interest rates will then become the defining factor.

Tommy Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 When is the housing ladder going to go tits up??? Even when the rest of the country had a down turn Aberdeen has done well due to oil industry. The last time i remember being pretty bad was the late 80's when prices did drop in Aberdeen. Specific properties will have problems in the future.Those that have spent silly money on a 1 bedroom propertywant to move in say 2/3 years time.They will have great difficulty getting back what they have paid becausemany have paid 25%-35% over the valuation.In the mid 80's the property market slump in Aberdeen hit many peoplewho had assumed that they would recoup the daft amounts they hadpaid over valuation.

Aiberdeen_Loon Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 Update: Well, still looking for a house and its a bloody nightmare! Where the hell are these people getting the money from? Looking at having to pay between 170k and 180k for a 2bed terraced in BOD. From the info ive gathered it looks like over the next year things are not even going to slow down one little bit. Even now its not slowing down that much, wait til the students come back and folk have came back from their hols its going to get ridiculous! Link to comment

fatshaft Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 When is the housing ladder going to go tits up??? Even when the rest of the country had a down turn Aberdeen has done well due to oil industry. The last time i remember being pretty bad was the late 80's when prices did drop in Aberdeen.There was also a slump in mid-summer 1998 just when I decided to leave Aberdeen, took nearly a year to sell, and Aberdeen lagged behind for quite a while. A lot of the recent madness is Aberdeen catching up again. Link to comment
vanderark14 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I think that's down to a slight drop in the market over the last month or so. A lot of properties are on the market at fixed price at the moment, but a majority of these started as "offers over Link to comment
