  • paragraph

    "Selling our family home was an emotional journey, but Simpson & Marwick made the process not only seamless but genuinely comforting. From the moment we met their team, we felt listened to and understood. They didn't just see our property as a house to sell-they saw it as the place where we built memories. Their attention to detail, exceptional communication, and personal touch made all the difference. In the end, they secured a sale far beyond our expectations, but more than that, they gave us peace of mind. We couldn't have asked for a better partner in this process." Catriona and David, Clients, via Google Reviews

    Purchasing Your Next Property with Us

    At Simpson & Marwick, we specialise in guiding clients through the distinctive Scottish property market. Whether you're a first-time buyer, searching for a second home, or seeking a profitable investment, our comprehensive, personalised service gives you the confidence to purchase with ease.

    Our deep knowledge of Scotland's legal framework and market dynamics ensures a smooth, stress-free journey from search to settlement. We're with you at every step-protecting your interests, clarifying the process, and helping you make informed decisions.

  • paragraph

    Why Work with Us in the Scottish Property Market?
    Scotland's property market operates under its own unique set of rules and procedures, which differ significantly from other parts of the UK. Understanding these intricacies is essential to securing the right property, at the right price, with minimal hassle.

  • paragraph

    'Offers Over' Pricing

    In Scotland, properties are frequently listed on an 'offers over' basis. This can be confusing for those unfamiliar with the approach. Our team helps you:

    • Interpret guide prices

    • Understand market expectations

    • Submit strategic, competitive offers

    So you're always positioned for success.

  • paragraph

    The 'Closing Date' System

    Scotland's closing date process involves submitting offers by a specified deadline, often in a sealed-bid format. This can introduce pressure and uncertainty.

    We provide:

    • Clear advice on offer strategy

    • Market insight to assess competition

    • Support to make confident decisions under tight timelines

  • paragraph

    Key Legal Differences

    Scottish property law differs substantially from that of England and Wales. One of the key features is the conclusion of missives-a legally binding stage that happens earlier in the process than buyers may expect.

    We work in tandem with expert solicitors to:

    • Guide you from initial offer to concluded missives

    • Ensure all legal documentation is handled swiftly and correctly

    • Give you peace of mind at every stage

    Purchasing in Scotland doesn't need to be complicated. With Simpson & Marwick at your side, you gain clarity, confidence, and exceptional service throughout your property journey.

    Testimonials from Sellers

      "We cannot praise the Simpson & Marwick team highly enough. Their professionalism throughout the entire sale process was fantastic, as was their strategy for pricing to generate interest and then offers."

      I Carson

    • Seller Testimonial

      "When asked what I thought about yourselves and the other agents we had seen, I said, to be frank one is John Lewis and the others are like Tesco. Everything that I have seen from Simpson & Marwick says a class above."

        D Wilkie

    • Seller Testimonial

      Excellent service on the sale of our Edinburgh flat from start to finish, I'd say that you'd be hard pressed to find a more professional team. We achieved a result in excess of expectation in a less than ideal market. Look no further!"

      D Cookson

    • Buyer Testimonial

      "A big thank you to the team at Simpson & Marwick who have recently sold our flat. The process was made as painless as possible through the very professional and attentive care we had from the company. A generous amount of time was given to discuss our options and guide us to the correct decisions. The whole estate agency and conveyancing team were a delight to work with. We would thoroughly recommend Simpson & Marwick to anyone wishing to sell."

      M & G Davidson

    • Buyer Testimonial

      "We would like to thank you all for the professional, efficient and considerate service you provided in what could have been a difficult project.  From our first meeting some months ago everything went far more smoothly than we could have imagined. The marketing was handled brilliantly - the sales particulars made the flat look better than we had ever known it - and the legal details were completed with great expertise and flexibility. So, congratulations to one and all for a successful - and far more lucrative than we ever expected - conclusion."

      D & H Howorth

    • Buyer Testimonial

      "We cannot thank you enough. You were spot on with help and recommendations. We will be sending anyone else we know your way. We thought you were excellent and had all of your advice ringing in our ears as we chose our numbers for our property offer!"
