Fife house prices dropped by 1.8% last month, according to the Land Registry.

With so many positives, it’s no wonder that summer is the time of year when lots of people decide to sell. As more homes come on the market and the competition hots up with the weather, the name of the game is standing out from the crowd, instead of getting lost in it. In short, now is the time for your home to shine. Continue reading SUMMER VIEWINGS: Stand Out from The Crowd in The Best Season for Selling in Fife (4 min read)

There is no getting away from the fact that the rise in the number of buy-to-let properties in Fife has been nothing short of astonishing over the last twenty years.
