Memphis Skyline Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Aye but the quilt's squint!!Only kidding. Location and size-wise, your flat would actually be perfect for me. But it'll be six months or so before I'm ready to actually buy.Gotta love that credit crunch when you're poor like me. Soon the meek shall inherit the earth/ get their foot on the property ladder.

Memphis Skyline Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Also... just wondering...ASPC - Single PropertyASPC - Single Property Which one is more realistically priced? The Thistle Street property is bigger yet cheaper. Surely that is why it's getting lots of viewings. A tactical move to drive the offers up?

There's no way that Thistle St flat will go for less than Dave's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

framheim Posted July 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 That flat is stunning Going back to the "you have to live in it" debate. I can honestly say that on a normal day... my flat looks basically as clean and clear as that one and I do live there. I can't recommend under bed sliding boxes enough, it keeps everything out the road.You could sign up to more Aberdeen based forums and advertise your flat there. You could also have an open viewings day. You'd probably get a lot of curious folks in then.I think you'll find it easier towards the end of july/start of august. You'll start to get the uni crowd looking around then we already use those boxes yea, having spoken to my solicitor they've said that there are quite a lot of flats sitting on no viewings right across the city with every solicitor so we'll give it a couple more weeks before really panicking.

Paulscoconutass Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Have you tried putting up an ad on Gumtree? It's amazing for renting, might be decent for buying / selling also? Gumtree.com: UK's No. 1 in classifieds - jobs, property, cars and moreI had a room to rent on there a few months back and was flooded with responses.

Of course I didn't tell him it was through headphones and a POD most of the time...........................Well done, hope you find a nice new pad.
