Bank of Scotland
Bank of Scotland predicts that Scottish house prices are set to buck the UK trend in 2008, believing that prices north of the border will grow by 4 per cent next year, reaching a record high average of £148,000.
The bank also said that the Scottish property market would continue to be under pinned by a strong employment market in 2008.
Our view
Scottish property tends to lag behind England by a year or so. Expect a slow down in Scottish property towards the middle and end of 2008.
