We've been hoping to move to Linlithgow from East Ren for months because I now have a job in Edinburgh. Only problem is there seems to be absolutely nothing coming on the market and starting to lose a bit of hope - we really don't want to compromise on the area.
Out budget is about £430k max for a minimum two bed family home. We offered on one recently, and were the joint top buyer along with a cash buyer from London wanting a second home. Guess whose bid was accepted? :(
Anyone who knows the area know if this lack of available houses to purchase is an ongoing problem? I.e. given our budget and the general availability, should we try to be a bit less rigid and consider other areas? Our last two moves we stupidly prioritised the property over the area and I'm just really determined to get the right area this time.
We also considered Dunblane but I think it's just a bit far from Edinburgh and worry about the lack of frequency of evening trains/ also mebbe a bit parochial?
