Landlord Registration

The City of Edinburgh Council is contacting all landlords in the City whose Landlord Registration is coming up for renewal in May 2010. Many landlords have not done this before since, if you are a HMO landlord, Council Officials will have done the entry for you.

Investment in Edinburgh

February saw the introduction of our new company branding which was presented at a launch party for clients and friends along with our new web-site www.cullenproperty.com. Malcolm our MD gave a talk on the current market place, the full script of which can be viewed at new web page Investment Article.

You may have been confused lately by the many conflicting news articles analysing the property market; Bill Jamieson at the Scotsman has written an article which we feel gives a very useful summary: click for article.

We are now into the third month of 2010 and hopefully winter will soon be behind us. Certainly one would think that spring is with us judging by the rush of properties coming onto the market. Time will tell how the market will cope with the change but well presented properties in good locations are selling very well now and will continue to do so. There never was a serious downturn in value in the City; Edinburgh's property market handled the downturn by a severe reduction of quality property coming to the market and, as a result, a drop in values never really established itself. Most vendors had a choice and many chose to wait for better times. So, here's to a successful spring!
