We understand that buying or selling your house can be a stressful affair. We are here to take the stress out of what should be the start of an exciting new journey.

When you decide you wish to place your property on the market, one of our property team will meet with you to discuss your requirements and work towards creating a stress-free service, meeting your every property need. 

First Time buyers who want to buy a property but have no deposit may benefit from the Open Market Shared Equity Pilot through the Low Cost Initiative For First Time Buyers (LIFT) scheme.  This scheme is funded by the Scottish Government and operated in the Highlands by Albyn Enterprises Limited.  It allows lower income households to purchase a property on the open market by funding between 20 and 40 percent of the purchase price, with the purchaser funding the remainder through a mortgage.  The purchaser owns the property outright with the Scottish Government owning a stake in the value.  No rent is paid to Albyn or the Scottish Government.  Only certain properties are eligible for LIFT scheme purchases and we have marked these in PINK in our property section.  Further information regarding eligibility and application procedure for the scheme may be sought from Albyn Enterprises Limited on Telephone: 01463 259894 or 01463 259895 and Email: info@albyn-enterprises.co.uk

As of 01 December 2008, it is a legal requirement that every property placed on the market has a Home Report. The report is comprised of 3 elements. The part first is an Energy Efficiency Report (as a result of an EC Directive. This is also required for properties For Let), the second is the Single Survey, which is much like a survey that you would have instructed yourself if you were interested in buying a property in the past (especially if you were taking out a mortgage over the property), it also includes a valuation of the property. Both the Energy Efficiency Report and the Single Survey will be carried out by a Surveyor. The final part of the report is the Property Questionnaire. The Questionnaire is something you will be able to complete yourself (we are of course here to help), and is based on your knowledge of the property, and asks you to confirm for example, your Council Tax band, and whether you have carried out any alterations to the property etc.  These three sections are incorporated into one document - the Home Report.  The Report is designed to give prospective purchasers access to the information they require to make an informed decision on how best to proceed, making the process more user-friendly, which in turn should also benefit you as the seller.  To view a sample Home Report you can follow the HSPC link.  If you have any questions on any of this, you can contact us at any time.

We pride ourselves on providing an efficient and rapid service.  From the time visit the property, we aim to compile the schedule of sale, have it published and posted on the HSPC website within a maximum 36hr turn around.  Our For Sale window/standalone sign goes up immediately.  The property is featured in the next HSPC publication, and local press – for example the Ross Shire, or Inverness Courier.  We require £300 upfront, which covers your insertion fee with the HSPC as well as the initial cost of printing schedules. We deal with your fees and outlays at or immediately following settlement. 

If you wish to review the schedule of sale before publication, we can send this to you by email, mail or fax for your comments.  The schedules are A4, or A3 in size. 

Depending on your circumstances, we can arrange to hold and release keys for viewings, or arrange for accompanied viewings. 

Our aim is to provide as effective an Estate Agency Service as possible.  We often provide special offers including our popular VAT free (or price adjusted equivalent) commission deal.  Our nominal commission is 1% of the sale price.  Please feel free to call us to see if we are running any promotions at the current time.  We don’t think you will find a better deal in the area.  What’s more, experience has taught us that providing both Estate Agency and Conveyancing provides the benefit of keeping matters under one roof, but provides our clients peace of mind and comfort, knowing that we have your needs at the forefront of our minds at all time.
