We’re delighted that restrictions on house moves in Scotland will be relaxed from 29th June and buyers, sellers and renters can, once again, progress their moving plans.
We are awaiting specific guidelines from the Scottish Government, but we hope to be able to resume physical viewings, fully launch new properties to the market and help people to carry out their moving plans (whilst following government guidance to protect our staff and the public) from 29th June.
Launching Virtual Tours
We are investing in new technology to help keep our staff and clients safe. Going forward, virtual viewings will play an essential role towards reducing physical traffic through a home. We will be launching immersive 3D virtual tours so that buyers can experience a home without physically visiting the property. The technology simulates moving around a property and enables potential purchasers to get a real feel for a property, whilst also being able to gain digital measurements of any part. With most people still mainly at home, this will minimise footfall and disturbance to daily life, whilst increasing the chances of finding a buyer and ensuring our experienced sales staff only bring the buyers who are serious about a property through the door.
Surge in Demand
During lockdown, we have been busy registering interest from a huge number of people wanting to view properties and providing advice and guidance to sellers and landlords eager to get their properties on the market. With home-mover momentum building and restrictions easing, we anticipate a surge in activity which will really help to kickstart the housing market.
Early signs from the English property market are encouraging. Following the re-opening of the market on 13th May, Rightmove recorded its 10 busiest ever days in May and June in terms of traffic and the amount of time people spent browsing the property portal. The release of pent-up spring demand and a new wave of buyers entering the market (fuelled by people unhappy with their existing home and looking for features such as more space, better home working environments and improved outdoor space) is placing upwards pressure on price. According to Rightmove, the average asking price of property coming to market in England is up by 1.9%, compared to March before the housing market was put on hold. These trends are supported by data from Zoopla which has recorded a 54% increase in demand since the start of March, with demand for higher value homes increasing at a higher rate as homeowners look at trading up for more space or moving to a better location.

"PPP was highly recommended to us by family solicitor whose services we have used in the past.
All outlets worked well and PPP covered a wide range of media and agencies with the ad prepared for us. We were delighted with the coverage.
Customer Service was fantastic. Good clear comms, timely changes of viewer schedule allowed us to accommodate all viewers. We found sales administration departments under Eleze and Ellie and Cara friendly and professional, particularly the advice when to put our property on the market which resulted in a sale within a week of ad going up on your website.
We where delighted with number of potential buyers and property was sold within a week of putting it on the market... says it all ! Thanks to Premier Properties Perth.

Callum Campbell (March 2025) – “Would recommend, good local knowledge.”Sales Client | Main Street, Bankfoot | 1 Bed Bungalow
"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.”Sales Client | Maple Place Perth | 2 Bed Bungalow | Sold Off Market
"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."
Callum Campbell (Jan 2025) – “Would recommend, good local knowledge.”Sales Client | Bothlyn, Main Street Bankfoot | 1 Bed Flat
"A neighbour recommended this agency. Good communication. 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."
Barbara McKay (Dec 2024) – “I was impressed with Cara’s approach when viewing a property being sold by Premier. Property well advertised, gaining maximum exposure. Professional, friendly, not pushy. Relieved that someone else was taking the strain and I could trust them.”Sales Client | Byres Of Murthly Farm Cottage Murthly, Perth | 3 Bed Cottage | Sold Over Home Report in 9 Days
"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."
Helen Dundas (Dec 2024) – “Staff where understanding of our personal circumstances. All communication was easy, helpful and responsive – everything you needed, however hard or stupid the questions may have seemed. Excellent experience.”Sales Client | Sandeman Place, Luncarty | 3 Bed Detached Bungalow | Sold in 3 Weeks
"We chose Premier Properties as staff were 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."
