The flat that we were looking at (see below) had a nice location and 2 bedrooms and although it was a bit small it matched our needs. We thought about putting a bid in, but it quickly went out of our range and ended up about 25% above the original asking price.
In Sweden they have an even worse system than in Scotland. They also have “offers over”, but instead of it being a blind and fixed auction, it is more like an eBay auction with no fixed ending time. That means that you can see others bids and bid multiple times, so it was just jumping up in 5000Euro steps every hour or so.
With the pound having lost about 15% of it’s value against the Kronor, it makes things look even more expensive. Still looking and we’ll be going to more viewings tomorrow…
Any joy this weekend?
