Stuart Drysdale, the director who leads your sale

He valued hospitality property for ten years before he started selling it in 2015. He leads every Drysdale sale, from the first call to completion.

Valuer first, then agent

Stuart started as a graduate valuer in 2003 and qualified as a Chartered Surveyor, MRICS, in 2006. For ten years his job was valuing hotels, pubs and guest houses.

That came to more than 1,000 RICS Red Book valuations. He learnt how to value a hospitality business, and how to give an owner the figure plainly.

He has been selling hotels since 2015. Today he runs Drysdale & Company and leads every sale, across the whole of Scotland.

What sellers say

I’d known Stuart for years and when the time came to sell the hotel, appointing Drysdale & Company was an easy decision. They ran a highly effective and confidential process, exposing the opportunity to all the industry players we had hoped for - domestic and international. A suitable buyer was found and with a price agreed, the contract was negotiated and signed within weeks. Stuart is straightforward to deal with and highly efficient - easy to recommend!
