Sell or Buy First?

What are my best options if I want to sell property?

If you already own a property and are looking to buy a new home, you have a few options. Our friendly, experienced estate agency team can talk you through these options before you decide what’s best for you and your situation.

If you have found your dream home but have yet to put your current property on the market, don’t worry. You can submit a Note of Interest on the new property while preparing your current home for sale. This allows us to notify you and give you a chance to bid on your dream property before it’s sold to another buyer.

Once you receive an offer on your current property, you can then proceed with an offer on the new one. Alternatively, you can also submit an offer on a property subject to the sale of yours or with a long entry date, giving you ample opportunity to sell your house first.

The Conveyancing Process

Our in-house conveyancing solicitors will cover the legal side of your property for sale in Scotland. From drafting contracts to liaising with the buyer’s solicitor, we handle all legal issues to ensure a smooth transaction. We also manage the exchange of missives address queries from other parties, and oversee the transfer of ownership until it is complete.
