HAMISH_MCTAVISH Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Edinburgh. With a staggering +12% in the month of April alone according to the Registers of Scotland. Should be quite interesting seeing what May, June and July will do. Aberdeen only saw a paltry 2% in April, but then again, people always say theres a time lag for anything to get all the way up here!!!!!

interestrateripoff Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 12% is economically sustainable. Perpetual growth it is then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeymadman Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 If prices keep increasing 12% a month, as they surely will, how long will it be before people with studio flats in Dumbiedykes are millionaires? Should I be a savvy investor and sell a kidney to snap up a flat in Pennywell Gardens now before I miss the boat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whyohwhy Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 12% is economically sustainable.Perpetual growth it is then. so are 50% house price falls - do you have a grasp of the economic effects of significant negative equity, static living conditions, decreased labour productivity, falling taxes ??????????

If so , whereabouts is it , as I can't find it on their PRESS RELEASES page at http://www.ros.gov.uk/aboutus/pressreleases.html only something about volumes going down Q1 by 57.1% and prices going down http://www.ros.gov.uk/pdfs/2009_05_statsrelease.pdf (Edinburgh down 10.1% year on year) .

Executive Sadman Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 This one was up for sale for £122k back in January IIRC. Now up at £175k (post a £1k laminate flooring makeover, and presumably being flipped in the meantime). Thats a pretty hefty bounce (or more a case of delusion) http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sa...auction%3Dfalse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be quite interesting seeing what May, June and July will do. Aberdeen only saw a paltry 2% in April, but then again, people always say theres a time lag for anything to get all the way up here!!!!! Go on Hamish, enjoy yourself, you deserve it. You were right, we were wrong. 12% eh ? in one month. Blimey, where will this all end ? OK, I don`t really want to move up to Edinburgh. Do you think there`s any chance that i`ll see anything like double digit house price growth in one month round here (West Midlands) ? Ooooh I do hope so, because I wanna be rich, rich, rich, just like you ! Sod the youngsters, or anyone else that wants to buy their own home, they`ll just have to rent (if they can afford it). Let`s just sit back, and rejoice in our rising prosperity. Afterall, weren`t we clever to invest in property. We deserve to make money. Those that wish for reasonably priced housing are living in dream land, and we can`t afford to let them get their way, oh no. Hamish "Equity" McTavish........ beacuase he`s worth it.
