| Comment | I put my one bedroom flat in north Kelvinside (literally a mixture between maryhill and west end location) on the market in February - got loads of viewings and accepted an offer within two weeks then covid hit, everything was put on hold, long story short the buyer pulled out last Tuesday, we put it back on the market Wednesday and got an offer on Friday. I would say put it on the market - especially with it being a two bedroom and in a good location. The only downside is depending on where you are looking to move too - I think house prices have gone through the roof due to people in flats wanting gardens and more space.
Pros:- good time to sell for students (parents buying for kids and buy to let landlords snapping places up), market is definitely healthy so you’ll get a good price, no stamp duty
Cons:- depends how you feel about people being in your flat/enforcing face mask wearing, if your looking to buy a house it’s incredibly competitive just now and you may need to pay a bit more to secure a house (whereas flats in good areas tend not to lose too much market value) |
