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.

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."
Pam O’Brien (March 2024) – “Great to deal with, nice people and on the ball. Katie & Alan were great and understood our situation. 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.”Estate Agency Client | 4 Bed Detached Villa | Muirend Gardens Perth, | Sold in 9 Over Asking Price
"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."
