How we market property

Our marketing is eye-catching and stylish.  It has become well recognised in the Edinburgh area and is synonymous with high quality property.

Each of our marketing campaigns is individually tailored to the property and budget available and uses a diverse range of tools to ensure that your property gets noticed:

Client Login

You will have access to all of your property information via our stylish Client Login.  Available 24/7, the client login allows you to keep track of activity on your property at a time that's convenient to you.  Information includes website traffic, brochure and home report downloads, viewing feedback and notes of interest.  You can find out more here.

Professional photographs, floorplans and videos

Photographs of your property are one of the most important aspects of a marketing campaign.

They’ll be seen in different places such as the web, sales particulars, press, ESPC etc. It is therefore essential that they are of the highest standard.

Because it’s the photographs that are likely to make potential buyers view your property, we use professional photographers to ensure that they are presented perfectly - with the correct light and features highlighted.

Our highly trained photographers also create detailed floorplans for use on our particulars and website. Our floorplans show the room layouts and provide dimensions which we know are very useful for buyers.  See an example of a Floorplan.

New for 2017 is our 'SCENEIN30' video, offering clients 30 seconds of engaging property video content, targeted specifically for social media sharing.  Think of it as a 'teaser', a glimpse of lifestyle in a very short, punchy and shareable video, making it perfect for Twitter and Facebook.  See the fantastic videos we have produced so far.

Sales particulars

Your sales particulars are another important part of how we will market your property. Your property will have its own uniquely designed particulars to make sure its shown to potential buyers at its very best. We offer a wide choice of designs and finishes to suit different properties.

An electronic version of our sales particulars is also available with each property listed on our website.

espc.com

We are members of the Edinburgh Solicitors Property Centre ESPC, which means that all of our properties are displayed on the espc.com website, which receives over 1.2 million visits per month.

7/10 sellers in the area choose to market their property through the ESPC so it's where the majority of local properties appear.  In addition 6 times more buyers start their search with ESPC than the nearest competitor.  

Over 80% of buyers are from the local EH postcode area therefore it's essential to get your local marketing right.

Our properties are also displayed in the ESPC showroom on George Street and in the ESPC Paper.

Properties priced at £500,000 or over appear in the Premier Property section of the ESPC. This offers enhanced publicity, including a dedicated Premier Property page on espc.com.

Our properties are shared on Twitter and we also have an active Facebook page with interesting property-related articles and featured properties.  Links on our website also allow clients to share their property with their own contacts via Social Media.   Your property can also be listed on the highly visible national portals Rightmove and  OnTheMarket.

Off-Market properties

For a wide variety of reasons, many of the properties we successfully sell never go on the open market. We have a large database of potential buyers who receive regular updates from us when new off-market properties become available.
