Sales Market

Buyer demand is still running well ahead of more “normal” market conditions back in 2019.  The number of properties we sold in June 2021 was up 114% on June 2019 and the number of new instructions up 61%.  The number of properties we sold during Jan-Jun 2021 was up by 38% on the same period 2019.

Since the market re-opened in Scotland last June, we have seen a huge increase in the number of people looking to move.  Record low interest rates and the Land and Buildings Transaction Tax relief have helped many people to afford higher prices, satisfying pent-up demand for a change of lifestyle/location.  We are regulalry receiving interest from several buyers per property, resulting in more closing dates, multiple offers and higher prices.  There is also a notable increase in the number of cash-rich relocators from more expensive areas.

With demand strong and pricing high, now is a great time for homeowners to capitalise on these favourable market conditions, especially during these peak summer months when properties look their best and while many buyers will be looking to secure a move in time for the new school term in August.  New landlords entering the market with quality properties will also benefit from strong tenant demand.

Rental Market

Overall, rental demand remains higher than the supply of rental property although, with the lifting of restrictions, we are seeing more movement with re-lets.  As we’ve seen throughout the pandemic, the desire for a change of lifestyle and space is generating more demand for houses/bungalows outside of Perth in more rural locations.   In terms of flats, demand is highest for higher end/quality properties and modern homes.  The lack of supply in the sales market is also affecting the rental market as some buyers are forced into short-term lets until they find the right property.

Good quality marketing materials were produced efficiently. We were able to review content before going live. The property was on the market very quickly with good coverage.

We received excellent customer service from Eleze, Cara and team. They were very responsive by phone and email. Communications were clear and concise.

PPP handled all viewings & follow ups and kept us informed. We were confident in the advice provided to us and in PPP's expertise in carrying out the negotiations with the purchaser.

Eleze, Cara and team were outstanding: they went the extra mile for us. We had a quick sale and PPP made the whole process very smooth.

We highly recommend PPP: their people and processes are excellent.

Nothing more to add other than a big thank you to Eleze, Cara and team!"

"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.”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 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."
