Testimonials

Chris Hall and the Rettie and Co. Rural Team have provided me with advice on a number of property matters for many years now. Their advice has been consistently well researched, carefully considered, and appropriate and I would be happy to recommend their services to third parties. R McNeil, Perthshire
I want to say how very much I appreciated your excellent service during my purchase - you did everything possible to make the transaction as smooth and trouble-free as possible. Even when there was nothing to report because of the delay in my sale and the complications in the chain, you very kindly contacted me to see how all was progressing and gave me a great deal of support during such as stressful time. I am so grateful to you and have been singing the praises of Rettie to all my friends! Bren
“Mary and Emma at Rettie were an absolute delight to deal with as buyers of our new fabulous family home in Newcastle. They were always hugely helpful in answering queries we had and relaying requests to the sellers with an approach that was always very open and appreciated I'm sure by the sellers as well. We were kept fully informed of all developments of the sale and they helped ease worries when there were issues with our sale at the other end of the country that they were powerless to influence!" A Stanton & M Andrews
Rettie were engaged by Boralex after a competitive process to market a large hill farm and ancillary properties in West Lothian during 2018. The sales particulars were well thought out and presented professionally with excellent photographs. Advice received all the way through the marketing process from both Nick Ainscough and Chris Hall for what was a complicated sale was always to the point and pertinent, culminating in a successful tender and conveyance of the property. B Straker-Nesbit, Boralex (Scotland) LP
Chris and his colleagues have consistently provided me with practical and sensible advice over the past three and a half years in connection with the progressive disposal of Glassingall Estate, by Dunblane. Planning and development opportunities have been maximised and sales structured to capture a wide range of buyers. I have no hesitation in recommending their services to others with similar properties to my own. A H Readman, Glassingall Estate
