Sales Agreed 31
Sale Prices Achieved Over Asking Price: £112,115
“With 31 sales in May, it was the second month running we have recorded the highest selling figures across all of Perthshire. Whilst we did not list the most amount of properties, we recognise the importance of getting the results our clients are looking for.”
“Continuing on from what Katie has said about us being top for sales, but not top for new listings for the month, a client’s property is on the market for a reason; to sell at the best possible price and to help them to move on to the next stage of their lives. In short, we don’t simply achieve our very positive sales figures by default and by only trying to list the most. We work hard across all marketing methods and negotiations to make things happen for the people we work with and our strong sales figures are something that doesn’t go unnoticed in the local area. It’s one of the reasons why people contact us to arrange a market appraisal for their home.”
“It was another very positive month in terms of the sale prices we achieved for our clients. In total, we negotiated £112,115 over the combined asking prices for all properties. For us, it’s never just about agreeing a sale, it’s about trying to achieve the best possible price for them. Because we worked on a fixed fee basis and not a % of the sale price, our clients know that the additional money negotiated goes straight to them.”
“Geographically it was an excellent month for the sales we agreed with properties all across Perthshire going under offer: Bridge of Earn, Scone, Pitlochry, Tibbermore, Gilmerton near Crieff, Burrelton, Auchterarder, Abernethy, Stanley, Bankfoot, Huntingtower, Inchture and also areas of Perth including Craigie, Oakbank, Tulloch, Muirton and the city centre.”
“May was a little bit frustrating at times with some fairly poor weather hampering our photographer trying to get some nice, bright, eye-catching external shots. In instances like that, we often revisit or wait until we get a break in the weather to ensure maximum impact when it hits the market. Nothing is put online or sent to print until our clients have fully approved all the images, video tour and text description. It’s their home at the end of the day and we greatly value their input into this process; we just wouldn’t have it any other way.”

“This month we welcomed 10 completely new landlords to the company. This was a mixture of clients who had been represented by other lettings agencies in Perth, investors who had taken their first steps into the buy-to-let sector and also some established landlords who were managing their own properties, but felt they now prefered an agent to look after their portfolios. It’s no secret that there are more legal obligations and duties for landlords to follow now and it appears that some people are naturally favouring a qualified, professional agency to look after things for them and maximise the return on their investment.”
“This month we’ve seen good demand for modern, newer build properties. This included one of the stylish new apartments at Bertha Park which we received a successful application for in less than a week. We also accepted applications on a number of flats in various locations around Perth.”
“We are still seeing that well-presented and freshly decorated properties are proving to be most popular. We would always suggest a small programme of works where necessary, to increase first impressions and help secure a long and positive tenancy for both landlords and tenants alike. It also ensures a more efficient process for the inventory and check-out when a tenancy comes to an end and minimises any issue at that time.”
