Selling your home in Annan

A local agent who knows Annan

Annan is one of the larger towns in the region and offers some of its most accessible prices. Victorian and Edwardian terraces, semis, bungalows and modern estates make up the bulk of the market, and the affordability draws a steady stream of first-time buyers and families.

The town's real edge is its position. Carlisle is around 20 miles south-east, reachable in about 25 minutes by road or by train from Annan's own station on the Glasgow to Carlisle line. That makes Annan very popular with buyers who work in Carlisle but want the value and space of a Scottish property, alongside the appeal of the nearby Solway coast.

Whether your buyer is local or relocating from over the border, I make sure your home reaches them. Every Annan instruction is photographed professionally, filmed and listed across Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket, with a targeted social campaign on top.
