Looking to buy or sell your property? There has never been a better time to do so.

As the Land & Buildings Transaction Tax (Stamp Duty in old money terms) returns back to normal on 1st April, many have predicted the market will cool.

Standing at the coal face, we would differ with that view. The market remains confident and buoyant, with a fast turnover in properties set to continue.

In the fast paced world of the current market you need to be able to move quickly to secure the property of your dreams. That is where we come in.

After several months of strict lockdown with only moves which were essentially required being allowed, the property market re-opens as of 29th June as part of Phase 2 of the Scottish Government’s route map out of lockdown.

Transactions may now proceed and properties can once again legitimately be introduced to the market without fear of breaching the lockdown regulations.

Property professionals have been issued clear guidance by the Holyrood on the subject.

The ESPC, which we are members of have popped these into a handy one stop page. The link is undernoted and we would encourage you all to read these carefully.

The market is already showing signs of brisk activity and we look forward to welcoming back existing clients and meeting new ones in the months ahead.

Most importantly of all, stay safe whilst we finally shake off the terrible grip this virus has had on the globe.

We've provided some advice for property buyers, sellers, homeowners, landlords and tenants during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in the UK.

Some of you may have seen articles in the news similar to the undernoted one from BBC News in the past few weeks. In this worrying time for us all we have seen a huge surge in clients instructing us regarding the preparation of Wills and Powers of Attorney caused by fears surrounding the current COVID-19 pandemic.

These articles are specific to the law in England and Wales, where the rules for Will writing date back to the beginning of Queen Victoria's reign in 1837.

In Scotland, the procedure for signing Wills is governed by the Requirements of Writing (Scotland) Act 1995, as amended.

Our governing body, the Law Society of Scotland, has handed down clear guidance to our profession which re-affirms the fact that, in Scots Law, the English experience does not apply.

Provided that the prescribed procedure is followed correctly, Scottish Wills can be signed by means of a video conference call, with us remotely witnessing your signature. Once the signed Will is returned back to our office we can then physically subscribe our own signature on your Will and complete the signing process to make the Will valid in accordance with the legislation.

A similar process has been approved for Powers of Attorney as well.

The Law Society's guidance can be found in full on both the signing of Wills and Powers of Attorneys at the following link:-

https://www.lawscot.org.uk/news-and-events/law-society-news/coronavirus-updates/

You should make sure that you do not put off any plans that you have made to have Wills or Powers of Attorney prepared due to the current outbreak.

Whilst our office is physically closed at present, we remain open remotely during the current lockdown.

Contact us today to discuss your requirements.

Solicitors see a "massive rise" in demand but the need for two witnesses creates practical difficulties.

In light of the unprecedented issues surrounding the Coronavirus, we have changed our policy about meeting with clients, which we are sure you will all understand and appreciate. We've produced a short leaflet to let you know how we are operating during this time.
