Selling A Property - The Professional Estate Agents

Macleod & MacCallum are the largest firm of Solicitors and Estate Agents in the Inverness, Moray Firth and Highland areas. Traditionally in Scotland, Solicitors have undertaken Estate Agency work – unlike in England where “stand alone” estate agents tend to be the norm. We provide a “one stop” service with our integrated teams of estate agents, financial advisers and Solicitors. During 2009, we sold property worth more than £28,000,000 for clients. This represents 32% more properties than any other Solicitor Estate Agent in the area.

When you are selling a property, good professional advice and service will pay for itself many times over. This is especially the case in the current difficult housing market. Macleod & MacCallum’s extensive expertise in estate agency throughout the Inverness, Moray Firth and the whole of the Highlands and Islands area will ensure that you get the best possible price for your property, whether it be a flat, building plot, croft or family home.

Macleod & MacCallum provide a full estate agency service through our dedicated Property Department, to include a free marketing appraisal by one of our estate agents, the preparation of detailed and professionally printed full colour sales particulars and guidance throughout the whole selling process.

We will recommend an asking price from our extensive records and knowledge of the local market. This may be “offers over”, “offers around” or a “fixed price”. Our estate agents will advise on the best way to advertise your property and will arrange this on your behalf. We will deal with all aspects of marketing your property to ensure maximum exposure.

As founder members of the Highland Solicitors Property Centre, your property will be displayed by us in the HSPC showroom at 30 Queensgate, Inverness and at a number of other displays throughout the Highlands. A press advert will appear in your local paper when your property is placed on the market. Your property will also feature in the HSPC publication “The Property Review” and on their highly successful and popular website which currently attracts thousands of hits per day.

Macleod & MacCallum’s Estate Agency staff will handle all enquiries from interested parties, arrange all viewings and keep you fully advised of the progress with your sale.

We will target prospective purchasers using our extensive database and Property Matching Service in order to achieve the earliest possible sale at the best possible price.

Our professional and experienced Estate Agents will help you get the best sale for your property with the least amount of worry.

1st December 2008 saw the introduction of Home Reports. These are required for almost all properties being marketed in Scotland after this date. Home Reports include a detailed survey and valuation of the property, an Energy Report and the Seller’s Questionnaire. Inevitably, the legal requirement for a Home Report does, unfortunately, make the selling process more expensive for sellers and can prolong the time it takes to prepare a property for the market. For expert advice and guidance on Home Reports and the implications for sellers, please contact us now.
