Congratulations to Edinburgh, + 6% YoY....

EDINBURGH is leading the housing market recovery as the first area in the UK to experience a year-on-year house price rise.

The Edinburgh Solicitors' Property Centre (ESPC) market report for August, due shortly, is expected to show homes in the capital sold, on average, for more than £212,000, a rise of 6 per cent on last August's figure of £200,000.

ESPC spokesman Neil Harrison said: "This is a major breakthrough for our market, to begin showing year-on-year increases again."

:T:T:T:T

The first area to show year on year positives?

But it won't be the last.....;)

    Yes very well done to Edinburgh. Here's hoping Edinburgh's children can find affordable housing in England.

    Silly Bear.... You can buy a place for less than £75K within a 45 minute commute of Edinburgh.

    Why on earth would people have to move to England?:confused:

    Even poor people?:confused:

    Thats fantastic news.

    After the biggest economic disaster since the 30's, which has just about been saved by trillions of debt, house prices in Aberdeen are 6% closer to a big collapse again.

    But I am delighted to see prices turn YoY positive, the first of many areas, and great news for the majority.
