And so it came to pass to the Edinburgh property market ....


In previous blog postings, I suggested that post the Brexit vote there would be softness in property prices.

And so it has came to pass .... RICS, the surveyors’ professional body, has published advice on its website to members about valuations post-Brexit.  It strongly implies that surveyors may be in danger of stating too high a price in their valuation reports.  It suggests a form of wording which essentially advises customers that the valuation may not be reliable as the “probability” of that price being achieved in the event of a sale “has reduced”.

So what does this mean for Edinburgh buy to let property investors?  It means that sellers are more likely to be open to price negotiation at the moment so you could ‘bag yourself a bargain’!
