Neil Reid

Neil has worked in the property industry for over 15 years, starting off by sourcing investment properties throughout the UK and overseas for prospective buyers, before identifying Midlothian's potential for significant investment. Fast forward to 2016 and Neil expanded his offerings to include residential property sales before joining Watermans as a Consultant Valuer in 2026.

"Having lived in Bonnyrigg for over three decades, I am delighted to be able to join Watermans in delivering our shared goal of providing straightforward legal advice and estate agency to the local area. Watermans have been a firm that I have always found to be proactive and straightforward to deal with for legal and property transactions throughout the course of my career, and this partnership is the next natural step in our relationship."

"With our experience and team of experts on hand to assist on every aspect of residential property transactions from our new Bonnyrigg office, we should be the first destination for anyone looking to buy, sell, let, invest or finance a property in the area."

"I am interested in people's back stories, and the reasons why they want to buy or sell property. It's rewarding to help them achieve the best solution for their individual circumstances. The collective industry of estate agents, solicitors, paralegals, mortgage brokers, and surveyors makes every day interesting, with the opportunity to consistently learn something new and avail of opportunities making it unlike any other profession I know."

What do you get up to outside of work?

"Time spent with my wife and family, walking our dog Rudi, that is important to me. I like to unwind on holiday, listen to good music and watch sports, I do wish I had more time to play golf though!"
