Warners

Warners, based at 176 Portobello High Street in Portobello, Edinburgh, is an estate agency branch serving Edinburgh and the Lothians. The branch combines local high-street presence (one of three Warners branches across Edinburgh) with a range of seller-focused services, including comprehensive marketing on major local and national property websites, an email-matching service for prospective buyers, professional photography, high-quality brochures, and an assigned negotiator to manage sales. It also places advertising in Edinburgh and the Lothians’ largest weekly property newspaper and operates an in-house conveyancing team whose solicitors have a combined 200 years’ experience. According to its 2016 figures, properties sold through Warners achieved an average premium of 2.6% over the Home Report valuation (compared with an ESPC average of 1.5%) and the branch reported average selling times more than 15% faster than the ESPC average. These performance metrics and the branch’s local network may be relevant to vendors and buyers considering services in Edinburgh and the surrounding Lothians.
