Dundee! We're moving up there this year! Any suggestions on nice places to live? Also, what's going on with the Scottish property system, I'm trying to get my head round it. I think i get the fixed offer thing but when i got in touch with estate agents up there one of them sent me this http://www.hdg.co.uk/regions/Dundee about home reports. I thought the seller has to do one of them and then the buyer has a survey done when the offer's been accepted. Am I wrong? Also, isn't a home report just a survey anyway? It's too confusing, us Sassenachs have a much simpler system *ducks*

Thanks for that LivedOnMars, yeah, it's a nightmare. You can't just pop up to have a look at something and as we're working we have to fit it in at weekends. We're planning on going up there for the weekend soon and having a look at as many properties as we can. It's hard to get the feel of an area when you're just passing through. My OH needs to find a job too.
But it's good that once an offer is accepted it's legally binding, been let down before in the past and it's really stressful.
Thanks all
