Why should you be looking for repossessed houses for sale in Falkirk? After all, it’s just a name on Saturday’s football results isn’t it? The truth is, Falkirk is far more than its football team…

Falkirk is, in fact, an administrative area set between Glasgow and Edinburgh; it encompasses Falkirk itself, as well as the towns of Bo’ness, Denny, Grangemouth and Stenhousemuir.

The district has easy motorway access to Stirling, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Carlisle and the north of England. Rail links are excellent with a good number of trains per hour serving the major cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh, both of which are just a 25 minutes journey-time away. For more distant destinations, Edinburgh airport is a 25 minute drive from the centre of Falkirk itself.

The area is growing rapidly, despite the current economic downturn and house prices are competitive, currently at levels well below the Scottish average. However, with the types of property currently being built, house prices are expected to rise. Obviously, then, now is the right time to invest in Falkirk property.

According to Bank of Scotland figures for 2011, Falkirk experienced the biggest increase in house prices in 2011 in Scotland and the second highest increase in the UK at 12%.

Districts of Falkirk

Falkirk

Falkirk lies at the junction of the Forth and the Clyde Canal and the Union Canal and was at one time a centre of heavy industry; it is the principal town and administrative centre of the Falkirk Council area.

Falkirk town centre is served by excellent retail facilities and has two large shopping centres, a large retail park, and a pedestrianised high street.

Bo’ness

Bo’ness is an abbreviation of Borrowstounness, which lies on the south bank of the Firth of Forth. Although once a centre for heavy industry and coal mining, Bo’ness is nowadays primarily a commuter town that has been transformed courtesy of Heritage Lottery Fund’s (HLF). In short, Bo’ness is on its way up, making it a rewarding location for buying below market value properties in the Falkirk area.

Denny

Denny, which is 7.5 miles from Falkirk town centre, is another Falkirk district in the throes of regeneration, having been awarded a £6.5 million redevelopment package. Current proposals include:

• A new library
• Creation of a town square
• Additional car parking
• 2 development sites to be marketed to the private sector, including food store operators

Once again, an area of outstanding potential when it comes to looking for below market value properties in the Falkirk area.

Grangemouth

Just 4.5 miles from Falkirk town centre, Grangemouth provides employment opportunities in industry, business, shipping, and oil refining. Served by junction 6 of the M9, together with good bus services from Falkirk and Bo’ness, and easy access to the railway stations at Falkirk and Polment, Grangemouth is ideally located for commuting.

Stenhousemuir

With Falkirk town centre just 4.5 miles away and the M9 and M876 within easy reach, Stenhousemuir is another Falkirk district ripe for redevelopment and investment. The major problem, which has now been addressed, was the fact that Stenhousemuir faced backwards to the main road and, therefore, lacked visibility to passing traffic; add to this the lack of a town square or central meeting point and it’s easy to understand why Stenhousemuir was a place to pass by rather than to stop and visit.

With the ongoing redevelopment, Stenhousemuir becomes a destination and, therefore, an ideal location to search for repossessed houses for sale in the Falkirk area.

Thinking of buying a repossessed property in Essex? Whatever it is you hope to achieve by following this route the chances are that, somewhere within this county of variety, you will find exactly what you are looking for.

Essex is a county in the East of England – and one of the home counties – located to the northeast of Greater London. Cambridgeshire and Suffolk sit to the north, Hertfordshire to the west, and Kent to the south. In the post war years there was much London overflow into the county but designating some parts of the county as green-belt has all but stopped this. The south of the county is fairly industrialised, with Brentwood being home to the headquarters of the Ford Motor Company, although the once enormous factory at Dagenham is no more. To the east, in Maldon, salt is harvested from the sea and exported throughout the world, whilst, in Chelmsford, technology companies drive the economy.

Districts of Essex

There are fourteen districts within Essex:

• Harlow
• Epping Forest
• Brentwood
• Basildon
• Castle Point
• Rochford
• Maldon
• Chelmsford
• Uttlesford
• Braintree
• Colchester
• Tendring
• Thurrock (Unitary)
• Southern on Sea (Unitary)

Once again, due to the large number, we’ll look at three districts moving from east to west across the county.

Harlow

Harlow was designated a new town and built specifically to facilitate the London slum clearances of the immediate post World War II period. The town is split into neighbourhoods, each with its own shopping precinct and supporting infrastructure – in fact, Harlow was the home of the first pedestrianised shopping precinct in the UK. In its early years, employment was provided by a biscuit factory and the town was self supporting, however, that original manufacturing base declined. Major employers in the town are now Nortel and Glaxo Smith Kline. Enterprise West Essex is an initiative designed to attract 100 new businesses in the medical technologies sector to the area.

Chelmsford

Maidstone, the county town of Kent, covers the centre of the county. The Borough of Maidstone covers an area generally to the east and south of the town, going north to the M2 motorway; east down the M20 to Lenham; south to Staplehurst and Headcorn; and west towards Tonbridge. The town of Maidstsone lies 32 miles south-east of London and, running through the centre of the town, is the River Medway linking Maidstone to Rochester and the Thames Estuary. It has a variety of housing available to suit the needs of first time buyers, families and the wealthy looking for bespoke one off properties and there are more than 700 shops in the town centre.

Maldon

Maldon sits on the Blackwater Estuary to the far east of the county of Essex. The area is mainly comprised of rural villages with histories of an economy based on the coast or on agriculture. The borough is undergoing regeneration, with particular reference to housing needs, the demand for more shops, and the amount and quality of open space.

The main towns within the district are Maldon itself, Burnham on Crouch and Heybridge. The economy nowadays owes a lot to sailing enthusiasts due to the marinas in the area, the main marina being at Blackwater. You can sail from Maldon to Continental Europe in a day.

The district offers a whole variety of property, within its clusters of towns and villages – meaning there are properties available both within and without the urban areas.

A long-time centre for car and motorcycle manufacture, that industry has recently declined; nevertheless London’s Black Taxi Cabs of London are produced in their entirety in Coventry. Some former residents, such a Peugeot and Jaguar, do retain an almost token presence in the city. As with other former manufacturing bases, Coventry has moved towards the service industries, finance, research, and research and development. Access to the country’s road network is via the M6, M69, M45 and M40 motorways

Districts of Coventry

Despite being one of our largest cities, Coventry does not have a ‘greater’ area like, say, Greater London or Greater Birmingham. The main reason for this is that those areas that would be classified as suburbs in other cities have been included within the city boundaries. Unlike other major UK cities, Coventry does not have an extensive ‘greater’ urban area. The other reason is that there are few satellite towns or dormitory settlements.

Thinking of buying a repossessed house in Cornwall – after all, who hasn’t dreamed of relocating to the sometimes enchanting, sometimes dramatic, South West of England?

Bordered to the north and west by the Atlantic Ocean and to the south by the English Channel, Cornwall has just one land border – that with Devon, which sits on the other side of the River Tamar. The county covers an area of 1,376 square miles and has its administrative centre in Truro, which is its only city.

It may be one of the most beautiful areas of the country but it is also one of the poorest, depending for 24% of its economy on the tourist industry.

Districts of Cornwall

There are no real ‘districts’ to speak of – there is inland and coastal but that is really the only division. Torbay on the south coast, facing onto the English Channel, has become known as the English Riviera. The bays are sheltered and the seas calm, particularly popular areas, outside of the Torbay area, are Fowey and Falmouth.

The Atlantic coast to the north and west is dramatic and wild, with towering cliffs and hidden caves; important tourist destinations on this coast are Bude, Polzeath, Watergate Bay, Perranporth, Porthtowan, Fistral Beach, Newquay, St Agnes and St Ives.

Inland is mainly composed of granite uplands; this is where you will find Bodmin Moor – the highest part of Cornwall. The wooded valleys behind the south coast are shady and fertile; home to an assortment of plants that are not found anywhere else within the country.

The largest urban area is at Redruth and Camborne – home of the now defunct tin mining industry. There has been talk recently of reopening some of the tin mines but no specific programme has been announced.

To live in the South West of England is many people’s dream and. with the current climate in the property market, there has never been a better time to think about buying a BMV property in Cornwall.

With its less than positive press and the highest numbers of burglaries in England and Wales in the financial year 2008/2009, why on earth would you consider buying a repossessed house in Burnley? Read on to discover why seeking out a BMV property in Lancashire could actually be a good move.

Burnley is both a town and borough in the county of Lancashire, in the North West of England, situated just over 20 miles north of Manchester and 25 miles east of Preston. The town of Burnley sits at the confluence of the Rivers Calder and Brun. At its peak, Burnley was one of the largest producers of woven cotton cloth in the world; it was also a major engineering centre. Nowadays it is rather more a dormitory town on the M65 corridor.

Burnley is a multiracial borough, with the population split 91.77% White and 7.16% South Asian or South Asian / British, predominantly from Pakistan. The town has strong demarcation between white and Asian areas – the majority of Asian residents living in Daneshouse and Stoneyholme.

Of interest to the property buyer are the house prices, which are some of the lowest in the country, the fact that those crime figures have now dropped by almost 50%, and the government’s reinvestment in housing market renewal – all very good reasons why buying BMV property in Burnley is not such an unwise move as it might first have seemed.

The borough of Burnley is undergoing major regeneration

The Regeneration of Burnley

The borough of Burnley is undergoing major regeneration, with particular concentration on the following areas:

Weavers Triangle

Centred on the cluster of historic mills and industrial buildings, the Weavers Triangle sits astride the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and has been a visitors’ attraction since the 1970s. New regeneration of the area was planned to include retail and office facilities. However, for the time being at least, the plans have been shelved.

Princess Way Public Realm – The Knowledge Quarter

The Knowledge Quarter grew out of Burnley’s ambition of becoming a centre of educational excellence and a regionally significant centre for advanced manufacturing, digital and creative industries. Plans include an £84 million Education Campus – home to the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) and Burnley College and a business park with a direct links to the university and college sites; an iconic gateway to the Park, incorporating the latest architectural and artist design features, has already been erected

The Todmorden Curve

The Todmorden Curve rail-link, last used in the 1960s, was granted monies from the Regional Growth Fund for its restoration; this could cut journey times between Burnley and Manchester by half. The project will create jobs and enable economic growth for Burnley.

If you are thinking about buying a repossessed house in Bristol, you will find yourself faced with a huge range of choice.

Bristol is many things: a city, a unitary authority, and a county; it sits on the Bristol Channel in the south west of England. Bristol has always been prosperous thanks to its ready access to the sea via the Bristol Channel; this is the largest city in the South West and is traditionally a centre for culture and education. Nowadays, the economy is based more upon creative media and the electronics and aerospace industries, with the docks seeing a new life as a centre of history and culture.

Districts of Bristol

In terms of boundaries, Bristol is something of an enigma: there is no official Greater Bristol Area, yet the postcode covers areas outside of the city centre. However, like all major cities, Bristol is comprised of smaller ‘towns and villages’ each with its own character, here we list just a few.

Barton Hill

Barton Hill is an area of high rise council flats built back in the 1950s; they have a reputation for vandalism and drug use, although there are projects underway to improve the area.

Brislington

Brislington sits on the south-eastern edge of the city, just 10 miles from Bath. It is home to HTV television and Arnos Vale cemetery, currently undergoing restoration following a media campaign.

Clifton

Historic Clifton was built on profits from the slave trade; it is, and always has been, rather affluent. The prime property location is Royal York Crescent, which overlooks the docks. It adjoins Clifton Village and is one of the most expensive addresses in the city. The area is home to the Clifton Suspension Bridge, Clifton Cathedral, and Bristol Zoo.

Fishponds

Mainly residential, with rows of terraced Victorian houses, Fishponds is popular with students at the University of the West of England, which has two campuses in the area. It sits to the north east of the city.

Hartcliffe

Hartcliffe is a council estate on the southern edges of Bristol city, once home to Imperial Tobacco, whose site is now the basis of several redevelopment plans. Mainly remembered for the 1992 three-day-riot following the deaths of two alleged bike thieves who were killed in a police chase.

Henleaze

Well-heeled Henleaze was built between the wars and is mostly residential, featuring elegant Edwardian properties. It is home to Badminton, probably the most exalted girls’ school in Britain.

St. Pauls

St Pauls was badly damaged during the Blitz and, post war, experienced high levels of immigration. Today there is a large Afro-Caribbean population and the area is steeped in poverty. However, it is known for its strong community spirit, which is typified by the annual carnival in July.

Totterdown

Totterdown is situated south of the River Avon and south-east of Temple Meads railway station; it is mainly known for its brightly coloured terraced housing which, because it sits high above the river bank, can be seen for miles.

Withywood

Withywood is situated to the south of the city and is another council estate area. The area is isolated due to its poor road links, although the long awaited South Bristol Ring Road might alleviate this.

If you are thinking about buying a repossessed house in Bradford, this article has been written specifically with you in mind.

The City of Bradford is in West Yorkshire, England, and it’s named after its largest town – Bradford, of course… The city is also a metropolitan borough and, as such, it also includes: Keighley, Shipley, Bingley, Ilkley, Haworth, Silsden and Denholme. The city is also part of the Leeds-Bradford Larger Urban Zone.

Situated on the edge of the Pennines, the Borough of Bradford has the City of Leeds to its east, the Borough of Kirklees to the south east, the Borough of Calderdale to the south west, and Pendle in Lancashire to the west.

You might be surprised to learn that two thirds of the district is rural and more than half of the land is green open space. It is certainly a borough of high contrast: most of the urban core and 41% of the district are among the most deprived in the country, yet 11% of the district as a whole is among the least deprived in the country.

Districts of Bradford

Keighley

Situated 11 miles from Bradford and 13 miles from Halifax, at the confluence of the Rivers Aire and Worth, is Keighley. Once a weaving town, the old mill buildings have long since been demolished or become home to other industries.

Shipley

North of Bradford and west of Leeds is Shipley, home to the model Victorian village at Saltaire, a World Heritage Site. There is also an art gallery dedicated to David Hockney, who hails from the area. The majority of employed residents commute to Leeds.

Bingley

A small town in the Aire Valley, Bingley is home to the famous Five-Rise-Locks on the Leeds-Liverpool Canal.

Ilkley

Ilkley is a spa town, which makes it an important tourist destination with the infrastructure to support this industry; there are specialist shops, a renovated Victorian shopping arcade, and a branch of the famous Betty’s Yorkshire Tea Room. Outside of tourism there is precious little industry or commerce, although The Woolmark Company, Spooner Industries and NG Bailey do have offices here.

Why should you look for repossessed houses for sale in Edinburgh? Well, the capital city of Scotland has been ranked as the best large European city for foreign investment in the recent European Cities and Regions of the Future awards; if it’s good for foreign investors then it must be good for local investors too, so Edinburgh is a marvellous place to look for repossessed properties for sale.  And, back in 2007, the Channel 4 property programme Location, Location, Location, voted Edinburgh the best place to live in the UK.

The city of Edinburgh is diverse and multi-cultural with participation from all members of the community in the various festivals and cultural events actively encouraged.

A third of those who work in the city commute in from the suburbs and, even more interesting for potential property investors in Edinburgh, the commute time to Glasgow is just 50 minutes; a very commutable time that will reduce even further with the proposed high-speed rail link.  

There are four distinct residential areas in Edinburgh:

Central Edinburgh

The home of Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood House is also home to thousands of ordinary people who live in the residential districts of both the Georgian Old Town and New Town

North Edinburgh

Once the artists’ quarter, North Edinburgh is now the chosen home of the upwardly mobile and overflows with boutiques and smart delicatessens. Leith, the nominal capital of the area is a ten minute bus-ride from the city centre.  There is an enormous riverside regeneration programme underway, creating Waterfront City, to include residential, business, retail, and leisure facilities.  Definitely a region that is ‘on the up,’ and one where buying a repossessed property should pay dividends.

East Edinburgh

East Edinburgh is, to all intents and purposes, the city’s seaside resort; just a twenty minute bus-ride from the city centre.

West Edinburgh

The city’s garden suburbs and address of Murrayfield, the home of Scottish rugby.  There are also a number of business parks providing employment, as well as Herriot Watt University, a centre for business and technology learning.

If you are considering buying a repossessed house in Scotland, it is worthwhile taking a quick overview of the Scottish property market.

buying repossessed houses or any other property in Scotland, for that matter, is really a tale of two parts; whilst properties in the Scottish borders increased in value by 1.2% in 2011, prices within Scotland itself fell by 3.2%

Taking a longer term look at the Scottish property market gives food for thought, however, with the value of Scotland’s housing increasing by 131% over the decade, the equivalent of £69,000 per house.  This compares to 84% for the rest of the UK.

An article in one of the property industries journals published today, reports:

‘… Repossession numbers are predicted to grow and this will be magnified in Scotland, where a backlog exists, due to legal rulings that temporarily suspended Scottish repossessions last year. This will depress prices further.  The spring market will be punctuated by more lending to wealthier buyers and buy-to-let investors – groups that lenders see as lower risk – at the expense of first time buyer”

This is a viewpoint backed up by statistics from the CML, which reveal that properties bought with buy-to-let mortgages increased by 84,000 last year (2011).

It seems that buying a repossessed house in Scotland might be a very good move indeed.

Repossessed Houses for Sale in Edinburgh

What is it about repossessed houses for sale in Birmingham that makes them different from repossessed houses for sale in any of Britain’s cities?  Probably there is nothing different about the houses per se; a repossessed house is a house is a house is a… you get the picture.  It is the location that is special.
