It’s not often you see the words “sell your home for free” but that’s precisely what BTO Residential & Estate Agency are offering right now.
New and fresh to the market, with offices in Edinburgh and Glasgow, the company represent properties in both cities and throughout the west and east coasts of Scotland.
Alexander Scott, who is an estate agent and valuer with BTO with many years of experience in residential sales and letting, explains: “To celebrate our new one-stop-shop for estate agency and conveyancing we’re delighted to charge no estate agency fees, if you sell your home with us.
“This introductory offer applies to properties in and around Edinburgh valued over £275,000 and where a sale is agreed within three months. Legal fees and marketing costs do apply.”
This amazing offer reflects the client-focused ethos of BTO, who guarantee an innovative and enthusiastic approach to buying and selling.
“BTO recognises your property is likely to be your biggest asset,” says Alexander, “and so our objective is to build a successful relationship with you. This will enable us to create and tailor a marketing strategy that will meet your specific requirements and deal with all of the legal aspects of your sale and future purchase.”
In practice, this means super-efficient communication: no telephone message is left unanswered and all correspondence is addressed as soon as possible.
Alexander’s own areas of expertise include advising on preparing a property for sale and all the relevant processes through to the property being under offer. He also has experience in what properties to purchase as a buy to let and possible rental levels.
He prides himself in being available to advise clients in their “big decisions” at any point during the sale process, right through to obtaining an acceptable sale figure.
He points out: “The property market is extremely competitive and that’s why we offer a dedicated one-to-one personal service. As a firm of experienced and proactive solicitors, as well as taking care of all the legal aspects, we also offer a wide range of special promotions for our clients. This ensures the entire process is bespoke and stress-free and pleasurable experience.”
Elaine del Valle, who leads BTO’s residential conveyancing practice in Edinburgh, adds: “We’re known for our exceptional integrity and have a proven track record in conducting successful negotiations and producing effective marketing strategies.
“Clients who come to BTO know we will work hard to ensure they never miss a potential buyer.”
One such client is Andrew Evans.
“I recently used BTO solicitors for the sale of my property,” says Andrew. “From the word go they were proactive and helpful. My estate agent Alexander was beyond helpful and conducted himself in a highly professional yet personable and friendly manner. The service he provided in terms of advice to optimise the sale value of the property, dealing with viewings for potential buyers and resolving issues with the property went above and beyond anything, I could have hoped for.
“He remained dedicated to the process and kept me informed throughout. Indeed, several people viewing the property expressed how pleasantly surprised they were with the quality of service they’d received when dealing with Alexander – a rarely encountered experience when dealing with their own solicitors!
“From start to finish BTO, and particularly Alexander and Elaine made this process easy. Given my prior experience of prior property sales, this was a pleasant and welcome surprise. I cannot recommend them highly enough!”
Looking to the future, BTO’s long-term aim is to make a positive impact on their sector of the market through the provision of a high-quality and personal service.
Alexander says: “If you have a property and would like a free no-obligation appraisal, you can contact me directly or book a free valuation online. If you’re not selling immediately but may in the future, it might be helpful for you to know the potential value of your property.
“We can also assist with your purchase – we’re aware this can be a particularly confusing process for first-time purchasers and seasoned home owners alike.”
BTO’s expert team can also put clients in touch with their trusted advisers regarding financing, including investment purchases.
“We’re here to help, no matter your situation, and we’d be delighted to offer an initial free consultation,” says Alex. “With BTO Residential & Estate Agency you can be sure of an exceptional service from beginning to end.”
