The Current Market

SCOTLAND'S house prices have experienced a "marked" recovery from a sales slump at the start of the year, with prices up 1.7% in the three months to the end of October, according to a new report.

Lloyds TSB Scotland's latest Scottish House Price Monitor provides a cautiously optimistic assessment of the market.

It shows the price of the average domestic property has risen for the first time following three consecutive quarterly falls - but is still down 2.9% on last year. (Source Glasgow Herald)

Commonwealth 2014

  The Commonwealth Games in 2014 will be staged in and around Glasgow. New housing developments and the regeneration of Glasgow property for sale is concentrating largely on this and other developments because of the huge number of jobs that will be created. The closer we get to 2014, the greater the demand will be for property to let in Glasgow. Looking for Glasgow property for sale now can help investors secure lower prices for properties that will inevitably increase in value.

Regeneration

The Commonwealth games in 2014 is only one development that will add to the regeneration of Glasgow. The Scottish Exhibition and Conference centre is expected to create more than 1,000 full time jobs and nearly 500 part time. 2,000 new jobs will also be created when Glasgow Harbour (The Forgotten Harbour) is completed. Regeneration of a city invariably leads to increased demand for property and, subsequently, increases in the price of Glasgow property for sale and property to let in Glasgow.

Low House Prices

House prices in Scotland are typically lower than those of the rest of the UK and certainly lower when compared to London. With the plans for regeneration, an increase in employment levels, and the dipping London property market, this gap is likely to narrow. Whether you are looking for somewhere to live or a viable investment opportunity, buying early can make all the difference.

Stable Property Market

The Scottish property market, looking in particular at Glasgow property for sale, has not faced the same downturn as the UK and the London market. In fact, Glasgow property prices have remained constant and stable while UK prices have started to drop; a trend that is expected to continue for some time yet.

City Property

Demand for properties in major cities is always reasonable and this helps to ensure the stability of prices to a degree. The factors we mentioned above concerning Glasgow will further help to ensure that anybody searching the list of Glasgow property for sale can do so safe in the knowledge that their investment will hold steady and is likely to yield excellent profits over the medium to long term.
