April 2010 – Property Market Update – General Election Special
Property Market Update – April 2010 – General Election Special! It’s been understated, dignified throughout and in no way resembled children chucking mud at each other in a playground: yes, I’m talking about the General Election.

Property Market Update October 2013 – Press, Prices and Comment by MOV8 Real Estate
The nights are fair drawing in, aye. But with shorter days and longer nights we haven’t seen any slowing-down of the property market. Quite the opposite. It appears that, in the absence of being able to go out and actually do anything else in the evenings, more and more people are taking that time to…

What’s Happening in the Scottish Property Market and Property Prices – MOV8 Real Estate October 2012 Update
It’s been another quite surprising month so far this month. If you were under the impression that we would all be preparing, as estate agents, for hibernation then, regardless if that was the plan, the fact is that we are pretty far from bedding down in the straw of our lovely, cosy cave.

Property Market Update November 2013 – Press, Prices and Comment by MOV8 Real Estate
As November nears an end, it’s easy to assume that property buyers and sellers down tools, pick-out their favourite reindeer jumper, start planning some witty repartee for the office Christmas party and that they generally are doing anything other than thinking about buying or selling a house.

What’s Happening in the Scottish Property Market and Property Prices – MOV8 Real Estate November 2012 Update
Deck the Halls… With Christmas songs playing in every shop in town and people already talking about whether they are going to be serving turkey on 25 December or whether they are considering breaking the mould by serving some fashionable new bird like a steroid-enhanced speckled sparrow that they thought looked good on an episode…

Monthly Scottish Property Market News and Comment – What’s Happening in the Property Market and Property Prices in Scotland? October 2011
