2006
is proving to be a particularly good year for
the property market with an unusually high
number of sales taking place before the
traditional start of the season.
Estate agents used to have plenty of time to get
their offices in order during the winter months
leading up to the appearance of the first
daffodils but this now seems to be becoming an
increasingly rare practice.
The 2006 season was off to a quick and furious
start much earlier than in previous years which
has been a very positive reflection on the UK
economy overall.
The vast majority of purchasers last year were
buying property from Bell Ingram in order to
relocate their families with 60% already living
in Scotland and this year looks set to follow a
similar pattern.

With
summer now well under way there are a great many
exciting properties coming to the market across
the country and two of particular interest
currently being sold by Bell Ingram are the
sporting estates of Tressady in Sutherland and
Cairnton in Kincardineshire.
Both properties come with a significant estate
and an impressive history and have already
generated a great deal of interest from a
variety of potential UK buyers.
Archie Leslie-Melville of Bell Ingram comments
“It isn’t often that property of this quality
comes up for sale and certainly not two at the
same time. We’re very excited at the prospect of
finding new owners for both Cairnton and
Tressady estates and we have already been
holding viewings for a lot of interested
parties. |
