Working with Leah as our property agent was a game-changer. Navigating the property market from overseas was something we couldn’t have done without Leah’s expertise and guidance.
Before we arrived in Scotland, Leah worked with us remotely in preparation for our visit and after 6 days of arriving in Edinburgh we had an offer accepted on our dream house.
Her attention to detail and extensive network meant that every aspect - from finding the perfect property to legal and financial matters - was managed with precision and care.
