Property Acquisitions
We use our extensive experience and detailed market knowledge to provide professional advice on the acquisition of prime residential, rural and development properties in Scotland and the North East of England.
Our Branches
We are proud of the fact that we are headquartered in Scotland’s capital Edinburgh, with city offices in London, Newcastle and Glasgow. We also have specialist rural offices in St Andrews, Melrose and Berwick upon Tweed.
Being located in the very areas we are transacting within and having teams who’ve spent their lives living and working in these places, gives us a distinct competitive advantage and enables us to say with integrity that we genuinely do possess ‘local knowledge with international reach’.
Our Buying & Acquisition Guides
At Rettie we back up our acquisitions service with lots of useful information. To help clients who are looking to purchase a property, we have produced a number of practical guides. Our Buying Guide provides comprehensive information on buying a property in Scotland, including the costs you need to consider and the role of a solicitor in the process. Our Guide to Acquisitions provides detailed information on our acquisition services and shows how we will help you select and secure the best property for the best price.

Symonds Taylor Made Our Move with a New Baby Stress-Free
You’ve made a stressful period in our lives so much easier. Having a baby and moving at the same time would not have been possible for us without you both and would have likely ended up in murder or divorce!

Symonds Taylor Helped Us Secure Our First Home
Sofia and I cannot thank you and your team enough for all the work you put in to help us get our first home!
Courteous Team and Fair Pricing Made for a Positive Buying Experience
As a buyer of a property through Symonds Taylor (Rettie at the time) the team were courteous and easy to deal with. They had a reputation for fair pricing, which is how my purchase played out. All in all good experience.

Exceptional Service from Rob and Team Ensured Our Complex Move Succeeded
This is the second time we’ve sold with Rob and the team at Symonds Taylor (as formerly Rettie). We’ve always received a flawless service and felt at ease that we were in safe and experienced hands. Rob was quick at responding to all of our questions and was always available to reassure and guide us. Our recent move was unexpectedly complicated and without Robs proactive approach to keeping all parties up to date and moving things along I’m sure it would have fallen apart.
