House Prices in Bridgend

House Prices Crash by £99,552 in Bridgend!!


The Scotsman says the average Bridgend home now costs only £948,364


House prices in Bridgend have crashed by an amazing £99,552 reducing the "Average Home Value" in the village to a mere £948,364 according to the Scotsman of 22nd April.  The newspaper published a list of "Scotland's 20 most expensive streets", and Islay's poshest punters only just managed to squeeze in at number 20.  Feelings may be hurt.  The Top Twenty was dominated by pukka postcodes in a place called Edinburgh which amassed 12 entries.  The only other town that had two entries was Aberdeen - but you will need £1,118,175 to buy a pad in Harbour Road, Inverness.


The Scotsman did have some good news for Bridgend residents.  You will be relieved to know that the value of your house has only fallen by a relatively modest 9.5% over the past year.  Spare a thought for those poor folk living at Succoth Place in Edinburgh - the value of whose homes have dropped a mighty 13.6% to a mere £1,183,691.  


Bless!!
