PROFESSIONAL RELOCATION AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS Whether you are looking for a bespoke relocation service or a home search in Edinburgh , Aberdeen or Dundee or alternatively a Property Management solution ,I can provide the friendly, personal and attentive service you deserve and expect from a property professional.
My experience and knowledge of residential property management in Edinburgh spans back over the past 27 years , having spent most of that time as a senior property manager with Edinburgh's most prominent agency, it has given me an open perspective and understanding which allows me to tailor my services to each individual. A thorough knowledge of the city and very close personal contacts with all the major agencies, I can often secure early appointments and I can source properties that have yet to come to market. This allows me to work quickly to ensure you get the ideal property in the right location. I will negotiate on your behalf to make sure you also get the best deal possible to save you both time and money.
I can also provide essential advice on purchasing the right property in the right area to ensure your investment gives the maximum return, again I can often source off market properties to give you the edge on the competition.
Below are some kind words from clients I have had the pleasure of working with.
Moving abroad is a complicated process, made more so by the fact that most letting agencies will not let potential tenants rent a property without someone first viewing it in person. Not wanting to fly to Edinburgh just to view flats, we hired Phil Strathie to help us in our search, and we couldn't be happier with the result. After taking the time to get a solid understanding of what we were looking for, Phil visited numerous properties for us over a period of several weeks. At every property, he recorded detailed information, such as room dimensions, the general state of the property, etc. He also took photos at each property to give us a better sense of what flats were "really" like. Finally, Phil offered us valuable advice as to how well he believed each flat fit our needs in terms of the metrics we had originally discussed. Once we decided on a flat and went through the necessary paperwork to begin our tenancy, Phil was kind enough to collect and retain the keys for us until we arrived in Edinburgh. The service provided by Phil was top-notch and worth every penny, and we can’t recommend him highly enough! Chandra Isenberg , Tom Moore & Rory Moore Belmont , Massachusetts. USA
"I have known Phil Strathie for 17 years and always found him to be very diligent and attentive to both myself as landlord and my tenants. Phil is affable and always eager to please."
David Boland ( Boland Holdings )
"It has been an absolute pleasure working with you during our house searches and now in helping us in our current house. I hope your replacement will be as good." Laura & David Burrell - Cobden Crescent ,Edinburgh
"It’s been a pleasure dealing with Phil over the last few years on both our properties, and having someone who is both very professional in their dealings and responsive to the needs of tenants and landlords alike has meant all the difference to us as “absentee landlords” living overseas." Morrice & Su Cordiner – Hong Kong
"I have known Phil for well over twenty years and have always found him to be courteous, friendly, professional and very competent. If I had any problem with the flat, that I rented through him , I could always rely on Phil to ensure that any problem was attended to promptly." Mike Walker ( Walker Group) Edinburgh
"Thank you for your help in finding our apartment. It was great having someone with local knowledge and is also well known by the local estate agents. The information given in regards to areas in Edinburgh was very helpful. Your input before the signing of the contract and the handover of the keys was much appreciated.
We would recommend your services to anyone. Thanks again for all your help."
Sandra Hoek- Netherlands
"We found the professional attitude and approach of Phil to be both refreshing and welcoming, all too often estate agents and letting agents alike have no time to spend finding out what you really are looking for, that wasn’t the case with Phil, he listened and found us a fabulous property that met our needs and was just what we were looking for." Ian & Michael Davenport - Lower Largo
Phil was both very personable and professional from the get-go. I was returning from the US with two giant breed dogs and finding suitable accommodation was no easy feat. Phil fully understood my needs, my budget and realistically what the housing market had to offer. Consequently he found us a home quickly and I'm happy to say we are settling in nicely. Phil saved me a considerable amount of time, money and stress. I thoroughly recommend his services!
