Follow on Google News | 2013 could be year of the 'Big House Bargain'CKD Galbraith, a leading independent property consultancy, has said that a generally flat residential market over the last few years had now created a situation where large houses are offering prospective purchasers ‘outstanding value for money’.
“In the rural market there is no question that large houses, with a relatively small amount of land, have suffered disproportionately over the last few years and there have been remarkably very few sales over the £1 million pound mark. “In our view, we could be looking at 2013 as being the right climate for the big house bargain – properties that would have commanded significant premiums in the past and which now offer outstanding value for money for purchasers. “These are country houses, rather than estates which consistently remain in demand due to their unique characteristics. The most likely purchasers of country houses with an easily manageable amount of land will have the necessary capital at their disposal and will be in a position to acquire properties at what are at present very attractive prices, given their size and location.” Among the large country houses CKD Galbraith has brought to the market are:- Ramornie Craigs Road Ellon Aberdeenshire AB41 9BG http://www.ckdgalbraith.co.uk/ £1,450,000 An elegant Edwardian house in magnificent grounds with private beat of salmon fishing on River Ythan.
