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
"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 where 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."
"Their reputation was better than anyone's. Very professional and clear marketing. Communication was great. No unnecessary calls/emails. Their knowledge of the current market trends was on point which helped immensely in deciding to sell. I was notified of when and who was viewing the property before the viewing.
Sale went as planned. Grateful that the experience and professionalism proved to be true. Would recommend; they're the best."
"From their first visit to our home we knew we were in good hands with Katie & Alan. Their friendly approach, genuine enthusiasm for our property and obvious knowledge of the current property market immediately put us at ease which helped us to decide if we were ready to proceed with our house sale. There was no push and they encouraged us to take time to think things over before going ahead.
The marketing was excellent. We had amazing photos, a virtual tour, drone footage, social. The customer service was exceptional. The friendly team went above and beyond in their efforts to ensure we were kept informed at every stage of the process. We received immediate feedback from viewers and they even solved our problem finding suitable rental accommodation after our quick sale with their innovative methods.
We were impressed by the research carried out on potential buyers and the immediate feedback obtained from them. The entire sale process was negotiated in a very professional manner.
The overall experience was so much better than we could have imagined. We were well looked after by the entire team and always kept informed at every stage. We would certainly recommend Premier Properties Perth to any of our friends looking to sell their property. Many thanks to the entire team. Their friendliness and professionalism were much appreciated."
"PPP were recommended to us. Excellent marketing. Seemed to generate a lot of interest. Really good communication, there were two or three people I could contact including Katie which was helpful. Communication on viewers was very quick and helpful. Advice on prices and offers was helpful.
Felt optimistic about getting the house sold. Would recommend because you were knowledgeable and attentive and responded very quickly when required."
"PPP made the effort to meet me quickly at the property, listened to my opinions and did not pressure me.
The property was well represented and I was given the opportunity to review and make a change. I was kept updated regularly and was given practical and realistic advice. When the negotiations were taking place, I was fully involved and my instructions respected.
Selling a house can be a very stressful experience but I felt reassured and nothing was too much of a problem. I was kept updated and treated respectfully throughout the whole process. Would recommend for the reasons given above."
