Your new peak, appears to be our average price, after falls.
I believe I am therefore richer than yow.
:beer:
How does that work when you own a significantly different percentage of ownership and type of property than Hamish?:wall:

Data are data.
If the data say that Scottish house prices are rising then they are unless the data are wrong. There really is very little point in getting grumpy about it.
The same, in reverse, could be said about English house prices.
Data like Haliwide in England are very robust and have been shown to be so over decades. I have less knowledge about RoS data but I would imagine they are accurately measuring that which they seek to measure.0 -
Generali - RoS is basically scottish land registry so records every sold transaction rather that just those requiring mortgages.
That being said I am surprised, I havent seen any rises about these parts but have noticed an increase in buyers within the market. We actually signed missives yesterday both what we have sold and what we have bought been for sale since june. Looking on TSPC there has been an increase in properties going under offer so I guess see what happensMF aim 10th December 2020 :j:eek:MFW 2012 no86 OP 0/2000

Oh dear. I've entered a world of Scottish housing that really is out of my area of expertise.
Signing missives is presumably that terribly sensible thing Scottish people do when buyers and sellers make a legally binding commitment to each other early on in the settlement process, is that right?
TSPC is an estate agency perhaps??? Google seems to suggest that or the Oregon Teaching Standards and Practices Commission. The latter seems unlikely.
So comparing RoS with English Estate Agency stats isn't right. RoS vs Land Registry is the way to go, right..?0 -
TSPC is tayside solicitors property centre. Like a mini 'rightmove' for my area. www.tspc.co.uk if you fancy a nosy.Oh dear. I've entered a world of Scottish housing that really is out of my area of expertise.

RoS v's land registry pretty much right. RoS data seems to also include repo's though and don't know if land registry does.
Yeah signing missives is that early thing commiting yourself to the purchase. We move 2 weeks before Christmas :eek:MF aim 10th December 2020 :j:eek:MFW 2012 no86 OP 0/2000
