The housing market in scotland is weakening like the rest of the uk, but we still appear to be bucking the trend of sharp falls in house prices in comparison with the rest of the UK.

Lender Nationwide reported that the average cost of buying a home in Scotland was £149,541 in the second quarter of 2008,  0.6% more than the same period last year, making scotland the only place in the uk showing annual growth, in comparison with a 3.4% drop accross the rest of the UK.

In the last few months we have launched the beta version of Locationate, a property portal where Estate agents can add properties free and users can add details of their local area.

We have been working with estate Agents in Clydebank to iron out the bugs and give the system a thorough testing. We still have some way to go but to get an idea of just how usable the system check this search for property for sale Clydebank.

We will be using this blog to keep you up to date on what is happening here at Locationate as well as the wider property market.
