You ask a figure that only a clot would offer, and in the event of a clot not materialising, you accept what ever offer you get, or take it off the market having wasted a lot of everyones time. |

Yes, the seller is not bound to accept the highest, or any, offer. When I worked in an estate agent's office, we had the situation that we really, really, wanted the lower offer to win (as we were handling the buyer's mortgage, which would bring us thousands more in commission than we got through the property sale). Remember though that in the Scottish system the offer is binding on the buyer immediately it is accepted without qualification by the seller, so the buyer had better have his mortgage already sorted out. When I bought, it was just over three weeks to do the conveyance from offer to moving in. Owain |

The small bank could be connectors for audio distribution. Not sure what else they could be, maybe fuses but no switch in sight. For a workshop there seems to be quite a lack of mains sockets. Some kind of compact mains outlets? Slightly clearer photo he https://lc.zoocdn.com/6fb42a6f133a72...ef2f788ae4.jpg Right side a bank of outlets, left side a bank of switches? Look a bit like US power outlets, but with a central flat pin, slightly offset. I don't see any sockets in the other photos that would be audio outlets. The boiler appears to have 8 toggle switches, 5 indicator lamps and 2 dials. https://lc.zoocdn.com/f1d31b5c28032b...3469a76875.jpg Controls to radiator valves perhaps? There's a virtual tour you can see without signing up: https://youtu.be/t5cPQm0kc64 and for a change it's not just a slideshow. But it doesn't show the workshop. It appears the most 'tech' in the place is a built in radio in the living room. Theo |

Shilling categories The shilling categories were based on the invoice price per hogshead (54 imperial gallons (250 L)) during the late 19th century. The stronger or better quality beers paid more beer duty and therefore cost more. Light beers might be in the range 42/- to 48/- (42-48 shilling), Younger's brewery produced heavy beers ranging from 80/- to 160/-.[15] The same shilling designation was used for beer of different types. Usher's, for example, in 1914 brewed both a 60/- (60 shilling) Mild and a 60/- Pale Ale.[16] In 1909 Maclay brewed a 54/- Pale Ale and a 54/- Stout.[17] In 1954 Steel Coulson were still producing both a 60/- Edinburgh Ale and a 60/- Brown Ale on draught, both with a gravity of 1030; the third draught beer was 70/- P.X.A. at 1034.[18] By the 1950s customers would ask for a strength of beer by names such as "heavy" and "export", rather than shillings, these two terms are still widely used in Scotland. Even though the practice of classifying beers by the shilling price was not specific to Scotland, during the cask ale revival in the 1970s Scottish brewers resurrected the shilling names to differentiate between keg and cask versions of the same beers. This differentiation has now been lost. An Edinburgh 90 shilling label While the shilling names were never pinned down to exact strength ranges, and Scottish brewers today produce beers under the shilling names in a variety of strength |

However you do find some funny things in buildings. A friend went to view a house once and noticed in the sitting room which had a concrete floor, not boards, some lumps.

What exactly does 'Offers over £620,000' really mean with the Scottish system ?. I don't think there's been much done to that flat decor wise, and probably electrics and plumbing, since the 70s. There's a fireplace that dates from the 40s or 50s. "Offers over" means "We really don't want less than this, but if we don't get any offers, we'll (have to) reduce the price." As others have said here, I'd normally expect it to go for much more than £620,000, but with Covid19 around, who knows? |
