Buying a house in Scotland, how does it work?

[Lonewolf]

To all our Scottish members and anyone else in the know, how does the Scottish house buying practice work?
Some house are advertised, offers over, some are advertised in the region of, but I seem to think the Scottish method has some strange and unique practice of putting offers in, does anyone know how it works please?

my understanding.... but it cold have  changed....... is that before you put in an offer you need to have surveyd/ searches etc done, and once an offer is accepted it is binding and not revocable.

But no doubt someone who knows better will arrive soon.

I've been looking at some properties up there and I like what I see. Just a pipe dream at this stage but you never know.

Property in Scotland used to be very good value for money Steve, ....is that still the case ?

[Lonewolf]

Depends I suppose where you look, location, location, location, as they say. I've been looking at some properties on the West coast at Port Patrick they seem reasonably priced to me.

This is one that I have been looking at, it comes with 6 acres of land. What the hell do you do with 6 acres of garden? I might have to buy a sheep or two.
