The Rettie Blog

The second post in our coverage of what you can expect for your money, today we cover the £800,000 price bracket. We’ve got a range of different, yet equally impressive properties, to give you an idea of what you could buy for £800,000 or thereabouts.

Whether it’s the romantic notion of knights wooing fair maidens or the grandiose architecture, when castles come on the market, there is always a large interest. And where better to own a castle than Scotland?

Each fortnight, The Rettie Property Blog is going to take a look at a price point in the market to show you what you can expect for your money. Today, we are looking at the £450,000 bracket. Hark back to 1998, when the BBC news website reported three bedroom Notting Hill Flats went for £450,000 (as did, in Hartlepool apparently, “entire blocks of terraced homes”).
