    • SELLING YOUR PROPERTY
      Our approach to selling property has been refined over many years. It provides an effective and stress-free process that will deliver the best possible sale for your property.
    • STAGE 1 APPRAISAL
      If you are thinking of selling your property, we'll be very happy to visit and give you a report on market conditions, as well as an initial no-obligation appraisal of your home.
    • STAGE 2 HOME REPORT
      You have to provide a Home Report to show anyone who is genuinely interested in buying your property: this is a legal requirement. A Home Report has three compulsory features: A Single Survey and Valuation, an Energy Report and a Property Questionnaire. We can advise you on the best platforms or firms to use to create your Home Report. Alternatively, we can arrange for a Home Report to be carried out and produced on your behalf.
    • STAGE 3 PREPARATION
      We will give you honest, well-informed advice on the best way to sell your property, and we will create a bespoke marketing strategy for you. We'll then prepare the material that will be used to market your property. This step involves the commissioning of high-quality photography of your home and the production of floor plans. You'll be able to choose from a number of proven brochure styles. There is also the opportunity to have a video of your property made. Your property will be placed on our website, which attracts an average of 166,000 visits a month and is linked to key property portals such as Rightmove, OnTheMarket.com and TheLondonOffice.co.uk.
    • STAGE 4 LAUNCH
      When your property is launched to market, a For Sale board will go up and viewings will start. If you are unable to attend, a member of staff will conduct viewings on your behalf. Our database contains the details of over 8,000 active buyers. We will directly contact all relevant buyers with details of your property. We can send out information through our Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts. We can also advertise your property at competitive rates in national newspapers and magazines
    • STAGE 5 REPORTING & COMMUNICATION
      We will keep in touch at every stage of the selling process. You will receive regular reports from your selling agent. These will include feedback from viewings and details of the follow-up contacts we make with potential buyers.
    • STAGE 6 NEGOTIATIONS
      Our experienced team will conduct negotiations on your behalf. We will use our expertise to meet your objectives for the sale and will liaise closely with you to agree a strategy to get you the very best deal. We will keep you informed and up-to-date with every new development during the negotiation process. You'll be able to call your selling agent at any time to discuss how things are going.
    • STAGE 7 CONVEYANCING, EXCHANGE & COMPLETION
      During the final stage of the process we will be in contact with your solicitor to help facilitate the conclusion of your property sale (if required). We will remain actively involved all the way through to the handover stage to help make the entire process as smooth as possible for you.
    • LOCAL EXPERTISE, NATIONAL REACH
      Our experienced regional sales teams have a proven track record of achieving the best possible outcomes for their clients. Backed up by the resources of our in-house research unit, they pride themselves on their local knowledge and connections and provide a personal and bespoke service.

    • Seller Testimonial

      Chris Hall and the Rettie and Co. Rural Team have provided me with advice on a number of property matters for many years now. Their advice has been consistently well researched, carefully considered, and appropriate and I would be happy to recommend their services to third parties. R McNeil, Perthshire.

    • Seller Testimonial

      Chris and his colleagues have consistently provided me with practical and sensible advice over the past three and a half years in connection with the progressive disposal of Glassingall Estate, by Dunblane. Planning and development opportunities have been maximised and sales structured to capture a wide range of buyers. I have no hesitation in recommending their services to others with similar properties to my own. A H Readman, Glassingall Estate.

    • Seller Testimonial

      In early summer 2018 we listed our country house privately with an international agent with a view to finding a buyer over the summer with entry the following year. By November nothing of substance had been produced so we brought on Chris Hall of Rettie & Co as joint agent. Two viewers were soon introduced by Rettie &Co and we received two offers with missives concluding in March 2019. Chris' professionalism, attention to detail and knowledge of the market as well as understanding the buyers' requirements meant queries were dealt with promptly and we achieved the sale we wanted. WGR Thomson, Braco, Perthshire.

    • Seller Testimonial

      Chris Hall and his team were initially commissioned to look at the overall Estate and produce advice to 'shrink' the Estate in a logical and timely manner whilst factoring considerations such as timing, tax, planning, development opportunities, and retention of a core area into their advices. Their advice was carefully considered, well researched, and well informed. A number of sales, many of them completed successfully on a private basis, were subsequently undertaken within a fairly short time window and I am delighted with the overall outcome. MB, East Lothian.
