Property Selling Guide

Selling direct to a buyer


To transfer ownership of a property from one person to another in Scotland, you have to engage the services of a solicitor. If you already know the buyer of your property, you can both go directly to a solicitor to handle the transfer process without the need to market your property through an estate agent or solicitor/estate agent.

When is a good time to sell?


If you are selling in order to buy somewhere else, the market conditions that affect your property sale also affects the one you are buying. So, if the market is rising, your own property’s value is likely to be rising at the same time as the price of your dream property is going up. There is a lot of truth in the advice that there is no time like the present!
