Smooth & Stress-Free
From the moment Kellie walked into my parents’ home, I knew this was the right company to work with. They may not be the cheapest, but compared to their competitors, everything was explained clearly and thoroughly, without any pressure selling or unrealistic promises about buyers already lined up.
Sometimes it’s worth paying a little extra to receive the level of service you deserve. From the initial meeting to my parents’ bungalow being listed took just two weeks, and it sold within a week of going on the market—an excellent result in my opinion.
I was kept fully informed throughout, with updates on viewing dates and times, as well as feedback and offers from potential buyers. I can’t rate Hamish Homes highly enough, especially Kellie, who understood my situation from the start and made the whole process smooth and stress-free.
I would highly recommend Hamish Homes to anyone considering buying or selling a property.

Absolutely disappointed with the service,from Hamish homes was told that they would sell my property within a month. Took near 9 months. Signed up for what I was told a fee for everything, turns out that they doubled the agreed price! Seller beware! I feel like I got ripped off!

Unprompted review
Reply from Hamish Homes
Thank you for your feedback.
We are extremely disappointed to read your comments, as they do not reflect the reality of the service provided or the agreement that was clearly in place from the outset.
Firstly, no estate agent can guarantee a sale within a specific timeframe. While we always aim to achieve results as quickly as possible, the time it takes to sell a property is influenced by market conditions, buyer demand and the individual property itself.
Suggesting that a sale was “promised” within a month is simply not accurate. What we do guarantee is maximum exposure and effort and in your case, your property was extensively marketed across multiple platforms including Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube and radio advertising, supported by professional photography, videography and drone work. We also offer extended availability including evening appointments and weekend viewings, something very few agents provide.
In terms of fees, we categorically reject the suggestion that costs were “doubled” or unclear. All fees were clearly explained at the outset, detailed within the contract you signed, and are also openly stated across our website and marketing materials. Your agreement was based on a fixed fee (not a percentage), alongside standard and necessary costs associated with selling a property.
These include professional marketing (carried out by a specialist external company), as well as the Home Report and, where required, a refresh once it expires.
These are not hidden charges, they are standard elements of any property sale in Scotland. Importantly, we cover all of these costs upfront, with payment only due once the property has successfully sold.
It is also important to note that, upon completion of the sale, only the fixed fee was initially settled, with the remaining agreed costs left outstanding. This was later resolved following clarification through your solicitors, who confirmed the contractual position.
We take great pride in the level of service we provide, the time we invest, and the financial commitment we make upfront on behalf of our clients. To present this as a lack of service or transparency is not only inaccurate, but also unfair.
Misrepresenting clearly agreed terms after a successful sale, particularly once those terms have been reaffirmed through legal representatives reflects an approach that is not respectful to the work carried out or to the professional standards upheld across the UK property industry.
Kind regards,
Hamish Homes

Tony Lister
Tony Lister, after first viewings, did not send feedback.
He did not consult with me or with the buyers about conditions of sale and this caused more emails than necessary between myself and my solicitor.
He tried to bill me for a home report that I was not aware of and which was done while the first was still valid.
I received the offer from a solicitor in Motherwell even though my own solicitor was named in contract.
The bill was sent to my solicitor before she received the offer and before i agreed to the conditions of sale.
My demand for house keys to be returned and the sale sign to be removed was ignored.
I complained to the company and I was dissatisfied at the responses.
Hamish Homes more expensive than other quotes and a lot of money paid out just for someone to come to the house to open the door for viewers.
And I regret giving my house keys to Tony Lister.

Good afternoon,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We truly appreciate your kind words.
We’re especially pleased to hear that Stephen was able to support you during what must have been a very difficult time. Selling a property following a bereavement, particularly when you’re not living locally, can feel overwhelming, so it’s wonderful to know he was able to assist not only with the sale itself but with matters beyond that as well.
We’re also delighted that you were happy with the video marketing and website presentation — showcasing each home at its very best is something we take great pride in. And yes, Stephen does seem to work around the clock!
Thank you again for your recommendation and for placing your trust in Hamish Homes Ltd. We wish you all the very best for the future.

1 star based on my personal experience. Unfortunately this was an extremely poor experience from start to finish. Communication was disappointing and overall I was left very unhappy with how matters were handled. I won’t go into detail publicly, but I would not use this service again.

Our home sold in only two weeks!
Hamish Homes came to our attention via a colleague’s recommendation after their and their husband’s bungalow was sold for a good price by them. Both my wife and I were very impressed with Stephen Snr’s businesslike attitude regarding potential buyer screening so that only those ready to buy were shown around. Our home sold in only two weeks! HH’s George also handled the viewing of the home we later purchased, which simplified transactions greatly. We highly recommend the friendly and motivated service that HH provide. The goodie bag of mugs, coasters, apron and bottle of wine were the cherry on the top - even to generously replacing with two a mug we broke.
