How much is my house worth?

Through years of experience in the local market, we have built up an extensive knowledge of property prices in Orkney. Our valuations take account of the location and condition of your property, together with the recent sale prices of similar nearby properties and competition from other properties that are currently on the market.

We’ll advise you on the best pricing and marketing strategy to ensure your property attracts the most attention possible during the first 30 days it is listed (as this is when buyers are most likely to make an offer).

How do I sell my home?

When you are ready to sell your property, the first step is to instruct a local Surveyor to provide a Home Report for your property. We have excellent working relationships with all the local Surveyors and will be very happy to instruct them on your behalf.

Once the surveyor has provided the Home Report, we will discuss a pricing strategy with you, and design this around helping you achieve the best possible sale price for your home.

What is the best price to market my house for?

A well-priced home will create interest, attract buyers, generate viewings and produce offers very quickly. On the other hand, an overpriced home can lead to a lack of interest, few viewings, no offers, a longer time on the market and possibly price cuts, and this doesn’t give the best impression to potential purchasers.

That’s why we will always discuss pricing with you and advise the best pricing strategy for your individual situation and property, so you can get the most for your home.

How will you market my property?

When it comes to marketing your property we know that first impressions count. That’s why we aim to present your property in its best possible light and attract maximum interest to achieve the best possible sale price.

The majority of people start searching for a new home by browsing property websites, until they find a property that catches their eye. With our bespoke website, designed by expert digital marketing professionals, your property will always be immaculately presented and our high quality photography showcasing the very best features. We also create a beautifully crafted digital sales brochure, which includes professional photos, a video tour and a detailed floor plan of your property.

Once you have approved the final details, we will contact our many potential purchasers who are registered with our office, to make them aware that your property is now available for purchase.

Your property will also be advertised on all major property websites, including Rightmove, Zoopla, On The Market and Prime Location, together with our popular Facebook, Instagram and YouTube platforms. This ensures we generate the maximum interest possible for your property, locally, nationally and internationally.
