October is a smart time to buy or sell property in Scotland. With fewer competitors, motivated buyers and sellers, and seasonal market advantages, early autumn offers the perfect opportunity to make your move and secure the best deal.
When people think about what makes a home attractive to buyers, traditional features like location, size, and layout still top the list. But smart home technology is becoming a key factor in the property market.
