Result Property – Estate Agents

Result Property started life as conventional Estate Agents, and enjoyed solid success racking up Property Sales and also acting as Letting Agents offering cost effective and efficient Property management and Lettings throughout Scotland.

In order to offer the most competitive service against the backdrop of the  Property price Crash Result now offers an online only service giving all the advantages of a conventional Estate Agency including Rightmove, Globrix, S1 homes and Property Index but without the massive percentage based fees of traditional high street Estate Agents.

The House price crash Scotland is currently experiencing means that Property for sale has to accurately reflect House prices Scotland’s buyers are willing to pay rather than the Property prices Scotland has enjoyed in the five years leading up to the summer of 2007.

In order to Sell House’s, Rent House’s and Rent Flats we use, in addition to our powerful internet presence,  a high standard of photography, intelligent use of Web 2.0 applications and above all a helpful and friendly approach!

What can a letting agent do for you?

Time was when, for property investors and letting agents, Scotland was the place to be with the average tenant finding Scotland’s property market an expensive place to buy into and plenty of lenders ready to finance investors looking to make money through lettings in Scotland.

Things changed in the late summer of 2007 when house prices in Scotland felt the first tremors of the house price crash. Scotland has not been immune to this and has experienced falls in average rents and the price of property. Management of letting properties is crucial for investors who now more than ever need to maintain high occupancy rates and ensure that they have reliable tenants.

We know that when it comes to their investment properties landlords want to know four things from their Letting Agents:

• The rent will be paid on time.
• They’ll have no trouble from their tenants.
• The property won’t be standing empty.
• The property will be looked after.

Our management fees start at 6% giving you the opportunity to maximise the return on your property and still enjoy peace of mind.

The House price crash in Scotland

At result property we don’t believe in sugar coating things so it’s important to acknowledge from the start that property prices in Scotland are currently falling and there is currently no shortage of property for sale.

The news section of this website will carry regular updates on what’s happening to property sales in Scotland but for now lets look at three things; How bad is it, What does it mean for me and How soon will it be over?

How bad is the house price crash in Scotland?
Property prices in Scotland are at their lowest level since 2006. New mortgages dropped by 40% in 2008 and house sales dropped by 41% in the same period.

What does it mean for me?
Property for sale in Scotland will need to be competitively priced in order to sell and it will probably be on the market for at least two months. If you bought within the last 18 months you may find your property has decreased in value. Clearly there are still solid buyers out there and we will find them for you.

How soon will it be over?
Estate Agents in Scotland are notorious for talking the market up with phrases like ‘pent up demand’ and ‘never been a better time to buy’. Based on current market conditions we believe house prices in Scotland will stop falling sometime around the start of 2010 and begin a very gradual recovery towards the end of the second quarter.

Result Property operate across many areas of Scotland including Glasgow, Falkirk, Fort William, Dunfermline, Kinlocheven, Oban, Motherwell, Kilmarnock, Kincardine and Dundee.
