A local agent who knows Stranraer
Stranraer is the largest town in the west of the region and offers some of the best value property in Dumfries and Galloway. Large Victorian and Edwardian townhouses are available here at prices that would be impossible further east, alongside terraces, semis, bungalows and waterfront homes on Loch Ryan.
Its position as a gateway town matters. The Cairnryan ferries to Belfast, a few miles to the north, mean Stranraer attracts Northern Irish buyers as well as those from across Scotland looking for space and character at an accessible price. The market is steady rather than overheated, which lets buyers and sellers transact at fair values.
Value properties still need proper marketing to achieve their best price. I photograph, film and list every Stranraer home across the major portals, with a social campaign that reaches buyers on both sides of the water, and you deal with me directly throughout.
Every Stranraer home, marketed in full
The same professional standard on every instruction. No upsells, no tiers.
Professional photography
Every property is photographed by a professional photographer. High-quality images are the foundation of strong buyer interest and the biggest factor in how quickly a home moves.
Drone aerial footage
Drone footage is included on every instruction. It gives buyers a sense of setting, scale and context that ground-level photos cannot replicate, particularly effective for rural properties and land.
Branded video tour
A branded video tour accompanies every instruction, increasing engagement on Rightmove and Zoopla and giving your property more time in front of active buyers.
Full portal exposure
Live on Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket from day one, with a dedicated Facebook and Instagram campaign reaching buyers beyond the portals.
