The Buyer’s Advantage

In contrast to other property booms seen over the decades, the current ‘drive to buy’ is showing few signs of abating after an elongated period of heightened activity. The increased demand seen across Scotland has put further pressure on a market that was already suffering from a lack of supply, frustratingly for buyers this competitive environment is unlikely to change significantly over the winter months and into next year. So, if having attempted to buy a property in recent months and failed, is it time to ask for some professional help?

Working with a professional property finder can help you with your specific requirements and will increase your chances of finding the perfect home in a number of ways:

Gaining exclusive access to opportunities

Expert information on local areas

Many new clients are surprised to learn that property finding companies do not exclusively represent buyers relocating to a new area.

A property finder will swiftly bring clarity and objectivity on the best available options by aligning their local property knowledge of housing availability, types, sizes and average prices with a client’s lifestyle requirements.

Guidance and assurance when you need it most

Not only can a professional buying agent assist with finding the perfect property but they will represent the buyers’ best interests throughout a transaction; advising on possible solutions to problems, brokering sensitive conversations and sourcing specialist advisors when unusual questions are raised.
