 The US and oil.... - Falkirk Bairn
I had thoughts of buying a bungalow - 3 beds, 2 bathrooms, lounge dining & kitchen - budget is flexible.

No new bungalows being built within 10-15 miles - the odd one in the odd village are new but the villages are extremely rough & in the middle of nowhere - also about 800- 900 feet - snow is a known issue for Nov to March

In the space of 2 months 3 bungalows came up on the same estate a mile from me - 55 years old - all in a sorry state - one had the original kitchen & bathroom - the other 2 had replacements but still 25/30+ years.

1 bought and done up by the new owner, 2 bought be developers who flipped the property with minimal cheap bathroom/kitchen and very little else (Lots of emulsion, Still old boiler & white paint on 55 year old steel rads, the odd poor quality window) and "offer over prices" which galloped above their true value.

The 3 bungalows was an ideal chance to insulate & fit better heating BUT the cost of that might be £25/£30K on top of the other work pushing the prices too high or giving the developer very little profit for their 6-8 week flip.
