That report is 6yrs old.

According to recent surveys, there is still at least 50yrs left yet in the N.Sea.

Then technology moves on and we drill deeper into once unexplored regions.

Plenty left in our lifetimes;)

I'm interested in the Scottish house prices. Unfortunately, I haven't religiously followed them as I won't be buying for another 3 years or so. I have a deposit there but am paying off interest-free debt. Also, I'm working south of the border atm.

I'd be interested to hear what prices are doing - Particularly in Glasgow and surrounding areas.

might be a good idea to install property bee if you haven't already done so as you can then see what's happening in the areas you're interested in. I know that in Shawlands traditional 1 bed flats were going for £130-140,000 last year and are now lucky to be shifted at £120,000. I think £110,000 is closer to the mark and I expect them to fall further.

The only problem being that you have to install Firefox and I like my IE!!

I wish they'd make a compatible version

I'd heard that loads of properties were switching to fixed prices rather than offers over. Saves a lot of hassle imo.

I only use Firefox when I'm checking Rightmove - there's no problem with having both installed on your PC at the same time.

Houses are selling at below fixed price in many areas which is new.
