Comprehensive Marketing Strategy

Before a property is marketed we arrange for a Chartered Surveyor to provide a valuation of the property as part of the Home Report. We also provide tailored advice based on local knowledge on the current market conditions to maximise sale potential

  • Full-Colour Sales Particulars:  Featuring detailed descriptions, high-quality photography, and clear floor plans to attract serious buyers.

  • Prominent Window Display: Your property is showcased in our highly visible Rothesay office window, ensuring exposure to local buyers and visitors on the Isle of Bute.

Our Dedicated Estate Agency Team

Our property sales process is managed by Laura Tritschler, our Property Manager, who is supported by Kirsty McKirdy and the wider estate agency team.

You will receive personalized support, proactive updates, and expert advice at every stage of your property journey.

Handling Viewings and Negotiations

Our team manages all potential buyer contact efficiently, ensuring a smooth process and achieving the best result for you:

  • Arranging and Conducting Viewings: We coordinate and carry out all property viewings, relieving you of this responsibility and ensuring we highlight the best features of your home to potential buyers.

  • Sales Negotiation: We handle all offer negotiations professionally and strategically, monitoring progress and providing regular updates and expert advice to secure the most favorable terms for your sale.

The Combined Legal and Estate Agency Advantage

One of our unique strengths is the ability to handle your sale from the initial valuation right through to the final legal completion—all under one roof.

  • Seamless Conveyancing: By combining the estate agency and legal services, we eliminate communication delays and ensure a smooth, coordinated handover once an offer is accepted.

  • Guidance for Purchases: If you are purchasing, our solicitor is ready to guide you from the initial steps, including arranging surveys, to carrying out the conveyancing, obtaining the keys, and completing the transaction.

Essential Documentation: Home Reports

Home Reports have been a mandatory requirement in Scotland since December 1, 2008 for every home marketed for sale. This important document provides prospective buyers with a property questionnaire, an energy report, and a valuation.

We can fully guide you through the process of obtaining and commissioning your Home Report, ensuring compliance and a smooth start to your marketing campaign.
