01

Selling

Some agents try and sell as many houses as possible, as quickly as possible. We have a different approach. We don’t always offer to the first prospective buyer; we test the market. If you want to sell to the right person, at the best possible price, we’ll help you maximise the value of your property asset.

Insights 07.12.21

To say the Scottish property market has been a rollercoaster ride over the past two years would be an understatement. No-one could have predicted the impact that Covid would have as it emerged in early 2020, followed by market pessimism, then tentative optimism fuelled by our cautious re-emergence, and the subsequent resurgence of the market in early 2021.
