I don't know though, been here for a while and all i see is folk who have signed up to a mortgage into their afterlife.
It must be so many people take out an extra loan to cover the short fall in their income /available mortgage to last them maybe 5 years, betting that the subsequent rise in property value will leap frog them up the economic ladder, when it works, great good for you, but everyone else loses.
Have a lot of customers who are property rich, they bought in the x decade and now its the y decade so technically its worth z, but they still only have an income of £14k, so can't afford to look after it properly or really do anything. And most are quite sympathetic to younger buyers eager for more space, garden etc who just can't fathom the numbers now involved in ownership,but equally can't really do anything about it as in order for them to move into a smaller /more ability appropriate home would cost a not dissimilar amount to their equity.
Rest of Glasgow has this view that the west is just built on pure money, i think for a very tiny number of people that's true, but it's always true, some folk just do well. Seen the prices of dennistoun/Kings park/mt florida go high in the last 5 years
