Local Knowledge...
                                   
Whether buying, selling or letting you will be able to benefit from our familiarity with the rural market in the north of Scotland. We have intimate knowledge of many rural properties and closely follow fluctuating values to identify trends in the market. For buyers, our historical connections in this market mean that we are informed of many property sales well before they are widely known. For sellers, our extensive mailing lists provide the ideal starting point for targeting potential purchasers.

Likewise, the pooled experience of our team ensures that you can access a range of other valuable services including quick and reliable valuations, advice on planning and development opportunities for country houses, farm buildings and other properties, and advice on any aspect of the future business potential of a rural property - whether it is a large Highland estate, quality salmon fishings or a small farm.

Selling Property...
                                  
Whatever the property, we will provide a personal service tailored to your needs. We can give advice on when, what and how to sell. We will help you to evaluate the property, identify the key selling points, and agree the most appropriate marketing strategy active or discreet, national or local.

We will subsequently oversee the preparation of attractive particulars, press releases, advertisements and an advertising budget. We are able to prepare plans (including the title plans at the point of sale), with everything presented for your approval. We will then maintain regular contact with you and your other professional advisors throughout the sale process, including liaison regarding the setting of closing dates and assisting with the completion of a successful deal.

Purchasing Property...
                                           
Following initial discussions to clarify your requirements, we will seek to identify suitable properties on the market or coming to the market. We can prepare purchase reports and valuations to assist you in your decision making and to enable deadlines to be met.

Once a suitable property is found, we will negotiate the purchase on your behalf, often at a keener price than you could achieve alone, while maintaining close contact with you and your other advisors on the detailed submission of offers and completion of purchase. Following a successful deal, we can undertake, where appropriate, the management of the property and/or provide planning and design services for any necessary renovations or extensions, including the full administration of all building works, if required.

Letting Rural Property...
                                               
We provide cost effective letting services for owners of all kinds of properties - from farms to cottages. We are able to recommend the most suitable form of tenancy, advise on current rental levels, arrange advertising, prepare inventories, records of condition and identify and reference suitable tenants.

We will draw up the tenancy agreement, liaise with solicitors where necessary and arrange for the collection of deposits. Subsequently, we have the resources to manage all aspects of the let including the collection of rents, rent reviews and the preparation of accounts, as required by your accountants.
