| Comment | I'd take a 3 bed house any day over a flat if you've got the budget for it tbh. Aye tenements are lovely and all that but you're living on top of other folk, limited garden access, parking can be shite, shared repairs, basically it's a pain in the arse after a while and you get tired of it. I'm not sure how much more money you'll be able to get out of a tenement if you bought it now. I know someone who bought a 1 bed flat in Ibrox two years ago for 100k, upgraded it, and they've just sold it for 105k. Not great. But that's a 1 bed and there's less demand for those now.
Realistically through, I don't think anywhere is going to be the "new West End" - the West End is always going to be a wee bubble due to the uni/students. Dennistoun and Shawlands are already expensive. The likes of Anniesland and Ibrox are a possibility because they've got good transport links, but there's not really a lot of commercial units to support a café and shop scene like the ones you see in Shawlands. |
