John
is a business executive in London. He travels extensively
and works all hours. He is ambitious and realises that he
is missing out on life. His parents live in Glasgow but he
wants to get away from city life. He dreamed of owning a cottage
near the sea where he could go for the odd weekend. He wrote
his specific requirements out on our Property Search Form
and let us do the searching for him. As he was often either
driving or in meetings he chose to talk to us over his mobile
phone at the weekends. It loved the fact he could call us
7 days a week and during the evenings as well. We weeded out
hundreds of unsuitable properties for him and soon collected
a portfolio of special properties. One property stood out
in particular and we arranged to meet John over coffee. Homefinders
Scotland successfully acquired the property for John. |
| You
are a person with specific requirements. |
You
have a particular type of property in mind catering for
a specific purpose or want a character property. You may
want more space or land, specific outbuildings (such as
an equestrian property). You may want more parking space
or a specific type of kitchen. Homefinders Scotland aims
to solve the problem of finding a hard-to-find property.
These properties get snapped up quickly.

Kate’s
Story
Kate
needed a property with land. She wanted a character property
and an amount of land for her horses. Kate and her mother
wanted a character property in a rural part of Scotland
with land. Her mother suffered from arthritis and needed
accommodation on the ground floor. As they would be living
in the property by themselves Kate wanted to live in a safe
environment and relied on Homefinders Scotland to find them
an ideal location and a suitable property. Kate and her
mother love their life in their croft, chosen by Homefinders
Scotland.

Clara
and Steve’s Story
Steve and Clara were very dissatisfied
with their life which seemed to revolve around work with
no time for themselves. Clara in particular did not enjoy
her job and together they made the decision to move to Scotland
because it offered a quality life. Before they knew about
Homefinders Scotland, they spent their weekends travelling
up to Scotland spending a great deal of time searching and
spending a great deal of money on fuel and hotel accommodation.
Steve was self-employed and all those hours wasted meant
he was actually losing money. To top it all, they went after
three properties and lost out every time to a bidding situation.
They decided to take the plunge and put their house on the
market, but it didn’t sell. They were desperate, then
their friend recommended Homefinders Scotland. We gave them
tips on how to sell their property and they concentrated
on selling. We saved them money by not letting them waste
any more time with fruitless visits up to Scotland. We found
them their ideal property, and although it did go to a bidding
situation they were successful. They sold their own property,
and now live in Scotland and run a small rural post office
and offer bed and breakfast during the summer months.

tedious preferring to be out playing golf. He approached
Homefinders Scotland to find an apartment to do up and let
out. Homefinders Scotland found several properties for him
but he liked two in particular. He purchased them both and

Christine’s
Story
Christine had been happily married with a good job in Germany.
When the company she worked for relocated to Turkey and she
was devastated. Without a job, she became very depressed.
Things couldn’t get any worse she thought, but they
did. Within two years of her losing a very good job, her marriage
was over. What she needed was a new challenge, a new way of
life. She had depended on her husband and didn’t know
the ins and out of relocating back to the UK. She found Homefinders
Scotland on the internet and she successfully acquired a position
with a Scottish university. However, she had never been to
Scotland, did not know the Scottish way of buying a house
and didn’t know anyone in Scotland! We helped her with
buying a house in Scotland and gave her tips on meeting people
and introduced her to tradesmen such as carpet fitters.

Craig’s
Story
Craig inherited a property on a small island off the West
coast of Scotland. Although he had spent his childhood holidays
there, he really wanted to sell the property and buy a boat
instead. He lives near Southampton so he wasn’t in Scotland
to arrange for the property to go on the market. He contacted
Homefinders Scotland and the property was circulated in our
newsletter. One of our clients was looking for a holiday cottage
and bought the property. Craig saved on the selling agent’s
fees and our client was able to purchase the property without
it going on the open market.
