Rettie Financial Services Glasgow

Rettie is headquartered in Edinburgh, Scotland's capital, with city offices in Glasgow and London. It also has specialist rural offices in St Andrews, Melrose and Berwick upon Tweed. Rettie's Town and Country Homes team includes three Directors who are RICS qualified Surveyors with over 95 years cumulative experience in the Scottish property market. That team covers rural residential property throughout South, Central and East Scotland, operating in Perthshire, Angus, Kinross-shire, Stirlingshire, Fife, Clackmannanshire, East Lothian, Midlothian, West Lothian and Dumfries and Galloway.

It has decades of experience selling properties at all price points across those areas and on occasion further afield in the Highlands and Argyll and Bute. For marketing, the team uses an active buyer database, presence on key property portals, targeted social media, high quality photography, video and floorplans. Rettie deals with city apartments, rural cottages, large townhouses, prime country homes, and farms and estates. Rettie offers mortgage consultation services.

Mortgage advice that removes stress and explains each stage in plain terms is the theme that runs through the feedback for this Glasgow practice. More than one customer describes how named advisers, among them Karen, Claire, Craig, Roland, Sean, Robert Duncan and Bob, guided them from the first enquiry to completion, and several accounts note that questions, small ones included, were answered without making the process feel complicated.

First-time buyers in particular note that the Scottish system was unfamiliar to them and that the adviser took time to set out what was happening. One thing mentioned again and again is the regularity of contact: customers say they were kept informed while searching for a property and after an offer was accepted, including one instance where an initial purchase fell through over mortgage issues and the adviser persisted until another property was secured.

Remortgage clients describe the same attentiveness, with queries anticipated before they arose. Clear explanations, patience, approachability and quick responses are credited with turning an already demanding house move into something manageable, and the guidance on general financial needs is mentioned alongside the mortgage work itself. Long-standing clients returning over several years indicate that the relationship continues well after completion.
