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
"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."
"From firstly meeting Katie at my property to the conclusion of the sale I cannot fault the Premier Properties Team. Many thanks for all your help, I would highly recommend."
"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."
"We met 3 local estate agents and chose Premier because of Alan Keddie. Very prompt turn around and felt involved in the process. Excellent feedback from whoever we dealt with. The house was sold quickly with no real issues. Overall, the experience made us feel like selling a house wasn't as tricky as we thought!
Would recommend - great team."
"Chose Premier Properties as very good reputation in the local area. Excellent all round. Very professional, efficient and friendly. Everything went extremely smoothly.
Felt we were in very good hands. Would definitely recommend for all of the aforementioned reasons."
"Very impressed by Alan and Katie. Their drive and enthusiasm stood out. Excellent marketing and communication. Efficient and knowledgeable when dealing with potential buyers and negotiating sale. I felt supported and cared for.
Would recommend. The service provided was sympathetic and efficient. Premier Properties are easy to talk to. I found it helpful talking to Alan because of his experience. Paula and Eleze were both pleasant and very helpful."
