How a sale works
Usually 6 to 9 months from the first call to completion, in six steps. Stuart leads every one.
Step 1: A call, then a visit
It starts with a phone call. Then Stuart visits your business, anywhere in Scotland, to see it the way a buyer will.
Step 2: A price you can sell at
A realistic figure from a valuer with more than 1,000 RICS Red Book valuations behind him. He won’t inflate it to win the instruction.
Step 3: Three ways to reach buyers
Your brochure goes on the Drysdale website, the national property portals we pay for, and to buyers Stuart already knows.
Step 4: Vetted viewings
Every buyer is vetted before they visit, so you only show round people we have checked.
Step 5: Offers and missives
Stuart negotiates the offers. Once you accept one, the solicitors exchange missives, the letters that make a sale binding in Scotland.
Step 6: The date of entry
Stuart works with both sets of lawyers until the keys change hands. On the day, the premises licence and your staff pass to the buyer, and the stock is counted.
Where buyers will see it
On the Drysdale website and the national property portals we pay for. Stuart also takes it straight to buyers he already knows.
