Competition for property for sale remained hot during October and Premier Properties were once again in pole position in terms of the number of sales agreed and new listings in the Perthshire area.
The number of sales we agreed was up by 78% in October compared to the same period in 2019, which is the best ‘normal market’ comparison. Instructions were also up by 23% on October 2019. Although more properties came to market, the level was still not enough to replenish the stock that was being snapped up which resulted in some properties selling in a matter of days and for record prices.
The continuing imbalance, with demand outstripping supply, put buyers who can proceed quickly, prove they are mortgage-ready or have cash in the bank at a huge advantage. There are also opportunities for owners looking to sell and cash out if they are downsizing or not needing to buy another property. With mortgage interest rates remaining lower than they have ever been before and lenders keen to lend in a competitive market, the window is open for movers to act now before Christmas.
We are preparing to launch more properties to the market in the coming weeks so buyers should register their details here:

What our clients say about us
Testimonials

"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.
We knew from the start we were in safe hands with an experienced team. Friendly visit from Katie and Alan and team always available on the phone and good email backup. Thanks for reducing the stress at a very stressful time for us.
We would recommend Premier Properties Perth for above reasons. We can't think of anything overlooked by Premier Properties Perth. All went well and culminating in a very quick sale."
Mr Mrs B, Perthshire

"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."

"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."

"A neighbour recommended this agency. Good communication. 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."

"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."

"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."
