Background information
Relocation Argyll & Bute was formed by Julie Grove and is a family run business providing a friendly and personal service. Having previously worked in the property business in Scotland after leaving behind a respected Estate & letting Agents business she formed in England, she realised the need for an independent advisor to guide clients through the Scottish sales system and helping them to achieve their dream of relocating to Scotland and experience the beauty that Argyll has to offer. Julie has also been trained by ARLA (Association of Residential Letting Agents) and can use her expertise to guide you in the right direction in locating property to buy, rent or ‘buy to let' investment sourcing.
We do all the initial property research, leg work and pre-viewing, quickly reporting our findings back to you. This process enables you (and your family) to make an informed decision on whether or not to view, saving an enormous amount of time, money and frustration on wasted journeys and travelling time and expenses.
If you are unable to view at short notice, you are likely to miss out on the latest and most sought after properties. We make it our business to be in the right place at the right time.
We get to the best properties before they reach the open market.
Our clients are treated as serious purchasers. We are therefore able to receive details of and to view highly sought after and confidentially marketed properties, which are often not made available to the unrepresented buyer. Therefore by instructing Relocation Argyll you will have the advantage of being in that exclusive position which keeps you ahead of the competition.
We move fast because you need to move fast
You may have already sold your current home. Perhaps you need to move to a new area for urgent work commitments or to get your children settled for the start of a school term. Whatever your reason for moving, it is likely that with your hectic business and family commitments you will be too busy to devote sufficient time to your property search and acquisition. This is where we can help. We will move quickly to search the market to match your criteria, enabling you to spend what precious time you have on viewing the pre-screened properties that we have selected.
Our Services
- Initial consultation - to ascertain your specific requirements by phone, at a convenient location or by email. Email is preferred by most clients and we have supplied an enquiry form for your convenience.
- Advice on desirable area - clients have found this invaluable as certain areas may sound appropriate but those with local knowledge know that they are not particularly desirable areas to live in, or do not have good schools etc close at hand.
- Familiarisation tours can be arranged if you do not know the area you are moving in to or just need to get a feel of locations and where the local amenities are.
- We will then carry out a research programme where we will collate details to fit your criteria. Drive by reports, internal & external digital photographs emailed to you the same day of viewing. Internal inspections and/or assessments will be made on your behalf. If by this stage you haven't internally viewed the properties you like we will then arrange to see them with you or organise you to see them independently. This service will continue for a period of four months or until you are satisfied with a potential purchase.
- Contact local agents and search online for accommodation that meets your specific requirements.
- Send you a short-list of appropriate properties.
- View properties that are of interest to you.
- Provide feedback and a report on what the property offers.
- Arrange appointments and accompany you to view one or two selected properties.
- Arrange short-term accommodation for you in a guesthouse or hotel to enable you to view accommodation and familiarise yourself with Argyll before your move. http://www.briarbank-oban.co.uk/
- Provide a list of reputable removal firms if required.
- When the sale offer has been agreed we will be your sole contact whilst monitoring the sale, including speaking to the agents and solicitors guiding you through the Scottish system, right up to day of entry.
