2024 OFFER!! 25% DISCOUNT on Estate Agency – Sell your home the best way with Neil Reid Property!

OFFER*: 25% discount on Estate Agency fees for listings signed up in 2024 and going live in 2025.

Neil Reid Property are a boutique Estate and Letting Agency created solely to ensure best service across the industry in Edinburgh & the Lothians. We would be delighted if you were to consider use of our Estate Agency services should you be contemplating the sale of your home or investment property.

We have sold literally hundreds of homes in Edinburgh & the Lothians over the last 5 years and have excelled in delivery of our client’s goals across the board.

We work in consultancy with Solicitor’s firms who are also top of their game to ensure all aspects of your sale (and purchase if required) are covered and with our pro-active approach to your sale, whatever the reason you wish to sell, we will have the experience and knowledge to ensure every aspect of the process is smooth and stress free.

Selling is not straight forward in the current climate, with interest rates remaining high and the cost of living still having an impact on affordability for some, there are definitely less buyers in the marketplace than we would hope for. Therefore, it’s important that you have the largest online exposure available. To this end, open market sales are advertised under our Solicitor partners branding. You still have us dealing exclusively with your sale, but under our consultancy with the legal firm.

Think about when you are buying…the first place most buyers look for property is ESPC. Without doubt the biggest portal in the Lothians area for advertising property. Why then would you even consider with a firm who are not on the ESPC?  They will most most likely be cheaper however, almost certainly, your property will generate less traffic from prospective buyers. You get one chance to sell your home, your biggest asset, so please maximise your sales potential with us/our legal partners.

Between us and our legal partners your property will be pre-marketed via our social media channels and to our buyer databases which, on occasion, gets a pre market offer which would also save circa £1k in marketing costs. On market you will have exposure on ESPC, Rightmove, Zoopla, On the Market, Prime Location and various other sites including our own and the legal team’s websites, plus additional social media.

Viewings are normally all carried by our team also, without additional charge, allowing you to sit back and relax whilst we work tirelessly to sell your home for maximum value.

We are also open 7 days per week until 10pm, going the extra mile to ensure our clients have the best service.

Let us give you a no obligation and free market appraisal and ensure you have the best choice available to you prior to committing to the sale of your home. No other firm can beat us on service and results!

Call us now on 0131 547 7075 for a chat.

Good news! Mortgage rates continue to decrease…

Halifax and HSBC have both cut interest rates today meaning more good news for those looking for new mortgages or who are coming to the end of their fixed term deals on their current mortgage.

Halifax have a rate below 5% for those mortgaging with a loan to value of 60% or below.

With industry experts suggesting inflation is dropping eventually, this may only lead to further rate drops in the coming weeks.

If you are coming to the end of your mortgage deal in the next 6 months, or seek a new mortgage for any reason, please get in touch 7 days on 0131 547 7075 to discuss your options from the ‘whole of market’. Open until 10pm.
