  1. Sorry not sure why it's quoting delboypass. I couldn't delete his quotation marks in my comment. Spot the newbie. Just to make it clear the following statement is mine not his: Stick with it Babo. I just paid 22% under valuation (valued in March 2016) for a property in Aberdeen after accepting a similarly low offer on my flat. I was up-sizing so didn't mind. I had been researching prices for about a year before I moved though so felt I had a pretty decent picture of what I believed to be a true valuation, rather than the figures picked from the air by the surveyors. Not everyone's situation is the same though so it's just about finding the right deal/pragmatic seller. They are out there though.
  2. https://www.aspc.co.uk/search/property/347471/2-Friarsfield-Walk/Aberdeen/ Think this is the first of the new Cults CALA homes to be resold... http://www.zoopla.co.uk/property/2-friarsfield-walk/cults/aberdeen/ab15-9pw/31424766 Paid £830k for it in October 2014, with stamp duty of £33k. Presumably they'll be looking at nearly a £200k 2 year loss when it finally does sell. Although with all the competing CALA incentives they're up against it may take a while...
  3. Looks like Cala would prefer to take a +/- £100k hit on a part exchange property rather than devalue one of their new homes by the same amount. i.e. pay over the market rate for a person's property to then allow the new buyer more money to afford one of their vastly overpriced new homes, thus maintaining the facade that their new developments are still selling.
