FAQs

SELLING YOUR PROPERTY

Q: How quickly can I sell my house in Scotland?

Through a traditional estate agent, the average sale in Scotland takes 3 to 6 months. Selling to Stewart is different — you’ll receive a formal cash offer within 24 hours of our visit, and completion can happen in weeks rather than months. No chain, no delays, no uncertainty.

Q: Will I get a fair price selling to a cash buyer?

Stewart doesn’t lowball. Where a property is in good condition, he’ll offer up to — and sometimes above — the home report value. There’s no estate agent commission, no legal fees on your side, and no hidden costs. For many sellers, the net result is comparable to a traditional sale — just faster and simpler.

Q: Do I need a solicitor to sell my house in Scotland?

Yes — in Scotland, a solicitor handles the legal transfer of property. When you sell to Stewart, he covers your legal costs using his trusted solicitor network. That’s one less thing to organise and one less bill to pay.

Q: What types of property does Stewart buy?

All of them. Flats, terraced houses, HMOs, commercial properties and complex conversions. Properties needing work are especially welcome — that’s exactly what Stewart specialises in. If you’re unsure whether your property qualifies, just get in touch. No obligation.

BUYING & FIRST-TIME BUYERS

Q: How long does it take to buy a house in Scotland as a first-time buyer?

The typical process takes 8 to 12 weeks from offer acceptance to completion — but it can stretch much longer if your solicitor or mortgage broker are slow. When you buy through Stewart, he connects you with solicitors and mortgage brokers he already works with. They know the process, they move fast, and Stewart covers your legal fees as part of the deal.

Q: What is a home report and do I need one in Scotland?

A home report is a legal requirement for any property being sold in Scotland. It includes a survey, an energy performance certificate, and a property questionnaire — all provided by the seller before marketing. As a buyer, you can request a copy for free. It tells you the surveyor’s valuation, the condition of the property, and any issues to be aware of before making an offer.

Q: Do first-time buyers pay LBTT in Scotland?

LBTT is Scotland’s equivalent of Stamp Duty. First-time buyers get a relief that raises the tax-free threshold to £175,000. For most first-time buyers purchasing a renovated home in Stewart’s typical price range, you’ll pay no LBTT at all.

Q: What does 'offers over' mean in Scotland?

In Scotland, ‘offers over’ means the advertised price is a minimum, not a fixed asking price. Buyers submit a sealed offer — usually above the home report valuation — and the highest bid wins. The final sale price is almost always higher than the ‘offers over’ figure. Understanding the home report value is the key to making a smart offer.

INVESTING & FLIPPING

Q: What renovations add the most value to a house in Scotland?

The highest-value renovations focus on what first-time buyers actually want: a move-in ready home. Full central heating, new kitchens and bathrooms, bright open-plan living spaces, and energy efficiency upgrades like double glazing consistently deliver the strongest returns. Quality finishes matter — buyers notice the difference.

Q: Is property flipping still profitable in Scotland in 2026?

Yes — for those who follow a clear strategy. Success in the current Scottish market depends on two things: buying right (below market value or with clear added-value potential) and renovating for the right buyer. Glasgow in particular has one of the highest shares of first-time buyers in Scotland, creating strong demand for quality renovated homes at accessible price points.
