Success looks different for everyone. We encourage our sellers to take a little time to think about what matters most to them.

Key Steps:
We believe three key aspects truly make a difference to your selling journey and the outcome.
The most overlooked element of the selling process is good communication. You want to know what is happening and when. We are committed to keeping you informed, and our friendly team is always on hand to respond to your questions. Our Google and allAgents reviews are testament to our approach.
It pains us to see properties enter the market before they’re ready to shine! From property staging to our marketing plan and collaborating with trusted solicitors, we meticulously attend to every detail in the sales process.
No two selling journeys are the same. Perhaps you need the right buyer, or the least amount of time between homes? Perhaps it’s all about the final price? We believe that you should have an agent who cares about getting the result that will work for you.
We want to remove the industries smoke and mirrors around fees and costs. You can be confident that our transparent fee structure includes everything needed to optimise your properties appeal without hidden surprises.

With our wealth of experience preparing properties for rental, what sets us apart is our keen eye and dependable contractors who can showcase your property in the best light possible.
A Home Report provides potential buyers with information about a property’s condition, value, and energy efficiency. It will be carried out by a Chartered Surveyor who will need to visit your property.
We will visit your property and provide an indicative property valuation based on our insight and analysis of similar properties that have sold in the area. A Chartered Surveyor will then provide a Home Report valuation, which will be the guide price for potential purchasers.
Wherever possible we advise property owners to carry out viewings (we will send you our viewing guide). As owners you can provide the best possible viewing experience to potential buyers.
Viewings are either done by appointment at a mutually convenient time or by open viewing, usually on a Sunday between 2.00pm-4.00pm. We can advise what will work best for you and your property.
A closing date is a specified deadline by which interested buyers must submit their best and final offers to purchase the property.
Yes, once you have accepted an offer you need to appoint a solicitor to start the conveyancing process. We can introduce you to our partner solicitor or you can choose your own.
Historically, using a solicitor firm was the only option available when selling property. Today, across the UK, there is a move to specialised estate agents and conveyancers who are delivering higher levels of customer service and better standards in preparing, marketing, and selling property.
Edinburgh is unusual in its continued emphasis on solicitor agents, and to advertise on ESPC you must be a solicitor firm. ESPC would love to maintain that status quo. However, the truth is that property buyers don’t limit themselves to
one platform when hunting for their potential dream home, and ESPC isn’t as widely recognised outside of Edinburgh or internationally as other property portals such as Rightmove.
We believe that a specialised team means sellers get the best of both worlds: they can work with someone who cares about their property, and are specialists in preparing, marketing, and negotiating, while still having access to well-known, high-traffic advertising portals.
The most important thing at the legal end of the selling journey is good communication. While some agents claim to have an in-house solicitor team, they often operate as separate entities with limited communication between them. Our commitment to better customer service means we ensure we get regular updates from our recommended solicitors to keep your mind at ease. And if you have a solicitor that you already trust, we’d be happy to work with them.
Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership of a property from one person to another. It includes preparing and reviewing legal documents, conducting property searches, and facilitating the financial transaction.
During the conveyancing process, a solicitor will perform searches of Land Registry and Local Authority information in relation to your property. They will be checking for planning history, any potential developments and other environmental concerns.
