Properties across the country are now selling for above market price, with experts claiming no end is in sight for this trend.
Value for money is becoming a less common target for buyers.
£100,000 may not get you the same as what it used to five years ago.
But, have you ever wondered what a cool million pounds would get you right here in Ayrshire?
