| Comment | I'm still saving up currently but hoping to buy in maybe a year. I'm aiming to buy somewhere in the southside, preferably within 1-2 miles of Queens Park (not bothering looking at Shawlands too much because I'm well aware of how wild the market is there nowadays...). I'd be aiming for a one bed for myself. How much do you all think I'd need to save? I know it depends specifically on the exact area. My aim was to find something for offers over 110k, with the expectation being that the HRV might be \~120k and then the final price might be \~130k. I'm aiming to save close to 30k hopefully to cover the initial deposit (10% is my aim) + additional price over the the home report (again, I estimate 10%). Does 30k savings sound about right for this?
For reference, areas I'm looking at include: Govanhill, Crosshill, Battlefield, Cathcart, Mount Florida, Pollokshields, Eglinton, Shawlands (again, doubtful), and if needed then I'd be open to considering other areas around Glasgow like Dennistoun, Finnieston, Partick, Govan, Garnethill etc - really somewhere at least closer to the center of Glasgow. I'm also aware that the prices can vary wildly between all the areas I've just listed.
Thanks for any help! |
