🪴Can your outdoor space help to sell your property?

Well, you don't need to be a property professional to know that yes, outdoor space can absolutely help to promote your property to prospective buyers!

But, in Edinburgh's competitive property market, the more important question is -
How *well* is your outdoor space selling your property?

Unloved, ignored, dark or characterless spaces are less attractive, and make buyers work harder to imagine how they can be enjoyed.

Conversely - especially if you're selling at this time of year - a welcoming, cared-for space can immediately conjure images of alfresco lunches, lazy summer barbeques with friends, or quiet morning cuppas in the sunshine.

Suddenly, your space is a major selling point for property buyers.

So, it's well worth investing in improving your outdoor space. Not only can you stand out in the crowded market, it could potentially add value and impact the final sale price of your property.

It pains us to see properties enter the market before they're ready to shine, so our team have shared their top tips to help you make the most of your outdoor space this summer:

Selling your Edinburgh property but not sure how to achieve the best possible sales result?

Well, first, you need to identify what sales success looks like for you - is it important that you find the right buyer - perhaps someone not subject to their own sale, or a cash buyer?

Or, perhaps it's important to you to minimise delays so you can sell your property in order to buy?

Maybe it's all about maximising your return and achieving the right selling price?

Your sales journey is as unique as your property, so it's important to consider what's important to you, so that you get the best possible result.

We've created a step-by-step guide to find out how to make the most of your selling journey - take a look:

Folks, please put your hands together for the 2015 Maradona Reds! 👏👏

The Edinburgh United under 10s youth team played their last game of the season at the weekend, and what a season it's been!

It has been an honour to be their shirt sponsor, and we've really enjoyed watching the individual players grow in confidence and ability. This has followed through into their game play and it's been exciting to see them develop as a team.

The eagle-eyed amongst you might remember we sponsored the 2015 Zidane Reds - congratulations to them all for moving up to become the 2015 Maradona Reds!

Just another five star review dropping in... and our team smashing it, as always! 👏

Did you know, 84% of Edinburgh short term let planning applications last year were refused?

The data, reported by Edinburgh planning platform City Scope, highlights the City of Edinburgh Council's strong policy presumption against converting residential property to short-term lets - even where the property has previously been granted a short-term let licence.

As a property management business, we recognised the difficulties ahead for short-term letting, and we pivoted our focus to managing long-term lets only.

We can only imagine the frustration of the unsuccessful short-term let planning applicants.

What we can say for sure, though, is that the demand for private residential tenancy properties continues - Edinburgh's private rental market is robust, withstanding the challenges of the previous years, including Covid and the cost of living crisis.

If you're one of the hundreds of discouraged short-term let licence or planning applicants now wondering what your best options might be, residential letting in Edinburgh is a more secure investment option - with no shortage of tenants.

If it's something you might like to consider, we can advise on the average long-term rental yields in your area and provide a free, no-obligation, property assessment service. This gives you a rental evaluation and an honest appraisal of your property’s potential, including expected long-term rental values.
