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.

"We put our property on the market with Premier just prior to lockdown but subsequently withdrew it. We were very happy with how Alan handled the situation at that time as well as the marketing. We originally went to them through the recommendation of a mortgage consultant.

We loved the Facebook countdown! The photography and virtual tour were first class. The photographer obviously took a great pride in her work and the results spoke for themselves.

You contacted people who had shown an interest in similar properties and we actually had 3 viewings booked before it was released. Bartek did wonderfully well in convincing the buyer what to offer.

The service was excellent in particular Bartek who showed potential buyers around and Alan who offered great advice on the deal.

This was our first move in 34yrs so we were very nervous but everything went quickly and well leaving us to only worry about the actual physical move.  Overall, we felt very pleased and relieved.

Would certainly recommend. Premier made the necessary processes easy and understandable. They also dealt with us as people not just a client, this made us feel so much better.

It was great to know that we were in the hands of people who cared."

"Great to deal with, nice people and on the ball. We had an ex-rental property to sell, and had to decide whether to 'love it' or 'list it' in it's current condition. Katie & Alan were great and understood our situation, we decided to try the property on the market and discussed a fair price for the 'list it' option.

All went well and the property sold quickly.  Can't thank them enough for their advice and support.  Felt happy and looked after.  Would definitely recommend this company and would use them again."
