South Africa to Scotland

Relocation Agent

Recently I have gained an increasing number of South African clients eager to start a more peaceful and less stressful way of life. Their common opinion was they now felt threatened on a daily basis in South Africa. I am happy to say they felt much less vulnerable in Edinburgh and so far 3 families have relocated to Edinburgh and the surrounding areas. Two opted for the hustle and bustle of the city centre but the younger of the 3 families decided on a family house in Balerno, with a large garden and close to the local school and shops. I am glad to say they have settled into the Scottish way of living and are very happy with their decisions.

Why move to Edinburgh?

Kate Browne — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 18:51:58 +0000

1) Edinburgh is one of the most vibrant, cosmopolitan cities in Europe and is regularly voted as one of the most desirable places to live in the world. The capital is bustling with arts, culture, sports and attractions, and is famous for playing host to the world’s largest arts festival.

2) Salaries in Scotland are highly competitive and relocating to Edinburgh can mean an excellent standard of living while maintaining a high salary package.

3) As for raising a family, the quality of life is so much better in Scotland than many countries. The education system is very advanced with a lot of emphasis placed on extra-curricular activities.

3 Advantages of using a relocation agent

We will save you TIME, MONEY AND HASSLE:

1. TIME

There are many agents and web sites advertising accommodation and this can be extremely daunting and time-consuming if you are not ‘in the know’. We know the most reputable agents to use and will save you lots of time by searching for appropriate properties in suitable areas, sending you details, previewing your selected properties before making a final short-list to view with you at a convenient time. Many hours can be wasted viewing what appeared to be good properties on the web but in reality are less than inviting. Also our knowledge of Edinburgh saves you time looking at good properties in less than desirable areas.

2. MONEY

The main money saver is enabling you to take as little time off work as possible. Usually a suitable property can be acquired within a day thus also saving you the cost of overnight accommodation. Furthermore, as we deal regularly with reputable agents, we are often able to negotiate a discount on the advertised rent.

3. HASSLE

Last but certainly not least – hassle. With our knowledge of Edinburgh and the surrounding areas we will provide you with information about nurseries, schools, doctors, dentists etc in your chosen area. We will also meet you on the day of entry and can pick up keys from the agent/owner if you are not going to arrive during their opening hours. We will pick you up and take you to the property and check everything is in order. We aim to make your move as enjoyable and stress-free as possible.

Finding a beautiful 4 bedroom family home in Stockbridge

paulresearch — Fri, 06 Jul 2007 13:27:15 +0000

Whilst showing a client round Edinburgh the other day I was reminded about what a beautiful area Stockbridge is. Due to the recent credit crunch, there are many more properties at the upper end of the market available to rent as the owners failed to sell them for the price they wanted. My client was extremely lucky to secure the tenancy of a fabulous 4 bedroom family home in Stockbridge overlooking the Water of Leith with a wonderful secluded garden, two reception rooms and a fantastic, recently renovated kitchen/dining room. They were delighted with the house and the area has many attractions including local shops, a supermarket, the Botanic gardens, Inverleith Park and many pubs and restaurants.

Looking for a modern, city centre flat

paulresearch — Fri, 06 Jul 2007 13:23:14 +0000

Recently I met with Paul, a client of mine looking for a modern, city centre flat in Edinburgh. He had heard about the Old Town and thought this would be an ideal area; close to both his work and the University for his girlfriend and a good fun area to live in. Whilst looking, I rediscovered part of the Old Town near Holyrood. There are now some lovely converted buildings with some very nice mews homes and apartments etc. The whole of the Old Town was bustling with tourists and full of history. One end is closed by the castle and the main artery, the Royal Mile, actually made up of four distinct streets named Castlehill, the Lawnmarket, the High Street and the Canongate, leads away from it, down to the now-ruined Holyrood Abbey. Narrow closes (alleyways), often no more than a few feet wide, lead downhill on either side of the main spine in a herringbone pattern. Large squares mark the location of markets or surround major public buildings such as St Giles Cathedral and the supreme courts. After viewing a couple of properties in the Canongate and surveying the area, we went to the West End where, after much condiration, decided on a beautifully refurbished, modern open-plan apartment in Moray Place. We managed to negotiate a reduction of £50 a month on the rent so an enjoyable and successful day out. Thankfully Paul’s girlfriend also loved it when she saw it as it is always a slight worry when only one partner can view the properties.
