I know they have rules against setting offers over prices too low to drum up interest in a property.

    The offers over system usually brings out all available buyers on the offers day anyway then the 'missives' are generally signed within a few weeks.

    Anyway, just google pedometered the distance to all the local pubs from the new house. Get the important jobs done first

      South side of Glasgow, Stayed up the West End for years but when you get near your mid 30s it starts to become a pain. It kind of became a night out destination for much of Glasgow in the last 15-20 years where it was just a place where students drank when I was one.

      When Justin & Colin moved into a house across the road I knew it was time to go back to the south side.

        FFS - agreed! Get yersel' doon to Newton Mearns and join the middle classes .

        My exs family live in Bearsden and she lives in Milngavie; I lived in Byres Road for most of my time as a student and loved it but I don't think I'd have enjoyed it quite as much in my 30s as I did when a student.
