At Mowatt, buyers aren’t an afterthought. They’re treasured Quiet Seekers and we work just as hard for them as we do for our Thoughtful Sellers.

Our clients' feedback is invaluable, showcasing our commitment to excellence and building trust through proven results.
Renter and Buyer

"I was granted a much needed sabbatical. MOWATT secured an 8 month let for my family in idyllic North Berwick. 18 months later, Annabelle viewed a property to buy, on our behalf, in North Berwick (at that point I was in the US), arranging a live video tour and advising me on the offer process. My husband and I have just had our offer accepted! We are set to return to Scotland in July. Delighted."
Downsizer

"MOWATT have their finger on the pulse. They know local people, therefore they know the local property market. We didn't want to sell til we'd secured a smaller property. Their involvement took the stress out of downsizing for my wife and me."
Seeking second home

"Thanks to MOWATT, I've been able to view several properties that haven't yet reached the open market, that meet my specific requirements. Mowatt are able to present the benefits of opportunity to home owners who may be inclined to sell for the right price point.''
