Our History

When Rettie first started we were operating under the name of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Investment Company (a company owned by the Rettie Family), becoming Rettie in 1993. Our first office was located at 2 India Street, Edinburgh. It comprised one room upstairs and two down. From these small beginnings, the company grew steadily, building its New Homes and Lettings teams and moving across the street to No. 1 India Street and then onto 11 Wemyss Place. Key milestones included the setting up of our Farm & Estates Department in 2005 and the subsequent development of our Land and Development, Consultancy and Research teams.
