Fair play, I couldn't imagine it with 4 😬😀
Your right about people not seeing past the mess etc, unless it's immaculate they won't entertain it.

You are doing quite well then, there are quite a few houses in near us for sale and they been on the market a while. Big old houses though.
Mine is an old house as well, big enough 4 bed.
Everyone who has seen it has said it will sell quickly, so hopefully it will 😬😀
No, new build at westercraigs, goes totally against the grain for me as I love old houses and the character, but it will be more family orientated, so the wife tells me anyway 😬😂😂
be warned.
a few of the people from the Wife's Work (SNH) live in the first phase of the Robertsons Builds and all have issues still awaiting correction. None of them are happy.
cracks, doors/ windows not fitted properly and won't open/close.

My flat goes on the market next week and we're starting to look for a house in Edinburgh. Real scary money required though, very depressing to see what we could get for the same money over in the west!

Slowly but surely getting the ludicrous amount of money required to afford a deposit saved up. Missus finishes Uni in May so going to start looking soon-ish!

If you've got you're priorities straight you'd be looking in Gullane or NB down the coast
Edinburgh is scary now, if only I could have afforded to keep my flat when I left all those years ago I'd be laughing......
Good luck with the sale and house hunting :thup:

gullane/n.b. aren't exactly much cheaper than edinburgh though!!
Can't believe the pricing up here!
That said, we've just bought a 3 bed villa fully furnished and access to a communal pool for £60k. It might be in another country though...

I've been pushing the NB option but Mrs FD is unconvinced. She's seen right through the plan, to be honest.
Only marginally cheaper than Edinburgh too.

Take her for a nice bottle of wine at Herringbone or a romantic Italian at Osteria and maybe she'll be convinced. It's a great place to live, everything within walking distance and a short train ride to Edinburgh city centre when you need it.

The problem is that the train ride to Edinburgh would be every day. I haven't given up but it's on the back burner until we see if we can get something suitable in town.

I found the schedule from when I bought the flat about 14 years ago. I couldn't believe how much it cost but we're now looking for about 2.5 times what the asking price was back then. Sounds great but it will all just get eaten up by the cost of the new place.
Stamp duty up here is also insane thanks to the SNP. I reckon the stamp duty we pay will be almost as much as my first flat cost to buy. :angry:
Yeah I know, I pulled out of buying one before buying my current house, they have new builders in for the phase I'm going to, I've got good contacts in the trade who will be going over it with a fine tooth comb 😂😂
It's always the same, location location location.
My preferred area costs a lot more so have to make do for now, try and save some more.
Surely you wouldn't lose money if you decided to sell later on, Edinburgh is a great city, good luck with the search.

Karen, have you considered Longniddry.
Nice golf course, rail links, decent pub. A bit nearer Edinburgh.

Yes we did discuss it. I also like aberlady but it's not as convenient for the train. I think east Lothian is all but ruled out now. We're seeing lots of good possibilities in Edinburgh... Just pricey!
