Property Market Update – April 2021
April was a record breaking month for PPP! Not only did we sell the most properties EVER in one month (making us the top selling agent in Perthshire for the year to date*), we also sold our highest value property EVER.
Our team worked flat out to sell 48 properties and list 37 during the 30 days of April. Some properties attracted multiple viewing enquiries and sold in a matter of days, with prices rising for the right property in the right location. Indeed, 11 of our April sales went to closing dates and 83% achieved full asking or above. On average, we negotiated an additional £8,596 over asking price for each client.
We also listed more properties in April than any other agent*, so we have some exciting homes hitting the market in May. Demand from home movers and first-time buyers remains high. This coupled with a prolonged shortage of supply means that it is a great time to come to market and achieve a good price and a quick sale. Purchasers who can act quickly when the right property comes along will be in a good position, so having both a mortgage agreed in principle and your own property already on the market or sold will help to get you to the front of the queue if you’re looking to buy this spring.

"PPP was highly recommended to us by family solicitor whose services we have used in the past.
All outlets worked well and PPP covered a wide range of media and agencies with the ad prepared for us. We were delighted with the coverage.
Customer Service was fantastic. Good clear comms, timely changes of viewer schedule allowed us to accommodate all viewers. We found sales administration departments under Eleze and Ellie and Cara friendly and professional, particularly the advice when to put our property on the market which resulted in a sale within a week of ad going up on your website.
We where delighted with number of potential buyers and property was sold within a week of putting it on the market... says it all ! Thanks to Premier Properties Perth.

Callum Campbell (March 2025) – “Would recommend, good local knowledge.”Sales Client | Main Street, Bankfoot | 1 Bed Bungalow
"Recommendation from neighbour. Very good presentation of property and good customer service. The initial sale fell through and the local agent was able to secure another offer within 24 hours. Felt relieved after the sale went through. Would recommend, good local knowledge."
Neil Sampson (Jan 2025) – “I regularly listen to “The Scottish Property Podcast” and was impressed with the interview that Alan Keddie and Katie Hall gave. I thought it was great and a personal touch to welcome the business owners, Alan and Katie to the property for the initial consultation. Such a surprise, compared with dealing with other estate agencies who would have delegated this task to an employee. This demonstrated that they truly care about their customers.”Sales Client | Maple Place Perth | 2 Bed Bungalow | Sold Off Market
"I regularly listen to “The Scottish Property Podcast” and was impressed with the interview that Alan Keddie and Katie Hall gave. Due to the fact that I moved away from Perth some years ago, this gave me confidence in dealing with an Estate Agent in the Perth area.
I thought it was great and a personal touch to welcome the business owners, Alan and Katie to the property for the initial consultation. Such a surprise, compared with dealing with other estate agencies who would have delegated this task to an employee. This demonstrated that they truly care about their customers.
The sale of the property was effectively carried out as an off-market deal, so very swift sale negating the requirement to advertise on the open market.
Excellent communication - every member of staff I dealt with prior to and during the selling process was polite, showed a genuine interest and was very professional.
Prior to the property even making it to open market, a referral of a potential buyer was put forward a few days after the initial consultation, which then led to a sale!
The overall experience took the stress away from what was an upsetting time due to the property being my late mother’s house.
Will definitely recommend and if investing in the area in the future, will be in touch."
Callum Campbell (Jan 2025) – “Would recommend, good local knowledge.”Sales Client | Bothlyn, Main Street Bankfoot | 1 Bed Flat

Barbara McKay (Dec 2024) – “I was impressed with Cara’s approach when viewing a property being sold by Premier. Property well advertised, gaining maximum exposure. Professional, friendly, not pushy. Relieved that someone else was taking the strain and I could trust them.”Sales Client | Byres Of Murthly Farm Cottage Murthly, Perth | 3 Bed Cottage | Sold Over Home Report in 9 Days
"Chose PPP as I was impressed with Cara's approach when viewing a property being sold by Premier.
Marketing was professional and prompt. Property well advertised, gaining maximum exposure. First class communication, everyone I spoke to on the telephone or face to face was able to answer queries. Professional, friendly, not pushy. Relieved that someone else was taking the strain and I could trust them.
Most definitely recommend, takes away a lot of the stress involved in house selling and gives a buffer between buyer and seller, so you don't get drawn into personal involvement."
Helen Dundas (Dec 2024) – “Staff where understanding of our personal circumstances. All communication was easy, helpful and responsive – everything you needed, however hard or stupid the questions may have seemed. Excellent experience.”Sales Client | Sandeman Place, Luncarty | 3 Bed Detached Bungalow | Sold in 3 Weeks
"We chose Premier Properties as staff were understanding of our personal circumstances and help with viewings.
All the marketing materials were professional and the photographer was helpful and polite. All communication was easy, helpful and responsive - everything you needed, however hard or stupid the questions may have seemed.
Excellent experience. Would recommend, they are professional and polite."
