“Edinburgh Property Finders were highly recommended to us as estate agents to handle all aspects of the envisaged sale of our property and met all our expectations prior and during the marketing. Your trustworthy guidance through the complex aspects of sale procedures, your professional service as well as your profound knowledge of the property market was very much appreciated.”
Repeat client purchasing in Edinburgh City Centre 2025
“Barbara helped me find a home in Edinburgh six years ago – as soon as I knew I wanted to move again; I contacted her. She helped me find a fantastic renovation project I’d likely never have discovered in an ideal, city centre location – exactly what I was looking for!”

Barbara was fantastic. She took the time to understand what we were looking for and was soon sending us great properties on and off market. She was great at managing estate agents and sellers and provided great insight and advice throughout. She certainly saved us time and money in our search, as well as gave us a level of confidence we wouldn’t have had on our own.
Buyer moving from England 2024
“Barbara has provided us with a marvellous personal service and a remarkably quick house purchase. The house is perfect and in a delightful area which we had not even considered.
Barbara has a deep understanding of Edinburgh property professionals. the housing market and how the system works in practice. She was able to explain and show us how to interpret home reports, purchasing tactics and what to prioritise. It was a great help to have her present at viewings. Without Barbara we would certainly still be struggling to find a property to buy and we would now be looking to rent in Edinburgh having sold our house in England already. She is always calm and provides great peace of mind, and so she comes very highly recommended by us for we cannot imagine what a mess we would have been in moving
from England without her”
Repeat Buying Clients in Edinburgh 2024
“We first met Barbara when we were moving to Edinburgh 12 years ago from the south of England. We were given her name as a property finder from a friend and we requested her help. Our purchase was successful and we lived in the property happily for 11 years.
We then decided to downsize and, again, sought her expertise. Because we were now selling and buying Scotland, Barbara recommended a real estate lawyer, a real estate agent and a person who would arrange for any small repair jobs to be done. This made selling our property a great deal less stressful. She also found us another great property to buy. We are very grateful to Barbara for all the help that she gave us during this final move. We highly recommend her services to any one who is buying a property in Edinburgh.”

Seller and Purchaser in The Grange 2021
“Within a remarkably short space of time, Barbara had found a buyer and negotiated an excellent offer for our current house. Then, a few days later, she secured a deal for us on the house we have had our eye on for some time. What a great result! Barbara’s skill sets and network of contacts are first class and one thing we know for sure is that, if you are negotiating over a house, you want to have Barbara on your side of the table!”
Purchaser in Trinity 2021
“We thoroughly enjoyed working with Barbara. Buying a home is one of the largest investments we will undertake and having expert support and advice was invaluable. Barbara was clear n her advice, honest wth her opinions and gave us peace of mind.”
Purchaser in The Braids 2020
“It has been brilliant working with you and thank you so much for getting us over the finish line.”
Off market purchaser City Centre 2019
“Barbara’s help has been invaluable to us in finding a city centre apartment at relatively short notice. Due to a family illness we were unable to travel to Edinburgh for viewings so we relied on Barbara’s professional judgement and experience to steer our decisions to make a suitable purchase. We couldn’t have done it without her.”
Open market purchaser 2019
“Barbara truly took all of the stress out of my property search. Having had a previously bad experience in purchasing a property, I was a nervous client to deal with but Barbara took the time to listen to all of my requests, deal with any issues and answer all my questions fully and honestly. She provided incredibly comprehensive reviews and honest opinions of all properties she emailed over to me to look at, with colour coded responses which were easy to read and allowed me to filter through the properties on the market with ease. This meant that when it came to me taking time to go and look at a flat I could be sure that it fit all of my criteria and it was simply a case of whether it felt right for me. Thanks to Barbara, I found a property I love (and within only 3 weeks of my first meeting with Barbara) and look forward to calling my home. All of this was done with limited stress – she really put the enjoyment and excitement into my property search. I cannot thank Barbara enough for her help and would not hesitate to recommend to anyone.”
Open market purchaser 2019
“After searching for five months for my first home with little success, my estate agent recommended EPF for advice and assistance. Barbara has been fantastic; sage and experienced with a thorough understanding of the Edinburgh property market. We explored off market options as well as the open market. She truly felt like my “wing man” looking at properties, studying the home reports, asking questions, contacting agents etc so all I had to do was see how a property felt and listen to her advice on any issues she noticed. I cannot recommend her enough and will definitely be contacting her “if” I ever decide to sell the beautiful flat she helped me find!”
Off Market purchaser in Trinity 2019
“Without Barbara, finding and securing a property in Edinburgh would have been very difficult. We do not live in Edinburgh so viewings would have been very awkward but luckily having Barbara to view properties before involving us was a godsend. She was very involved and patient. She knew the kind of property that would suit us and we eventually purchased a flat ‘off market’.”
Open Market purchaser 2019
“Barbara swiftly negotiated a mutually acceptable price for open market property that we had been pursuing for some time. I am very grateful for her efforts and ability to get a deal over the line!”
Off market seller 2019
“Thank you very much for your work and effort which has led to this being a relatively straight forward process for us. If we ever find ourselves entering the Edinburgh property market again, I’ll know where to go first!”
Off market purchaser south side Edinburgh 2019
“Working with Barbara was hugely helpful in our search for the right family home. She has a no-nonsense, tenacious approach and was able to give us advice about the merits and downsides of potential properties but crucially also to advise on tactics when deciding to purchase. We are very happy with our new home and would highly recommend Edinburgh Property Finders.”
Portfolio Investor 2019
“Barbara did some excellent work for us sourcing a portfolio of property in Edinburgh. Just as valuable as the focus and market knowledge that Barbara brought, was her advice on strategy and negotiation. Further acquisitions are ongoing but the result to date is a portfolio which was acquired in line with strategy at a good value.”
Open market purchaser 2019
“Edinburgh Property Finders were a dream find. After losing two properties, Barbara helped my parents secure their retirement property from the open market. She reassured them and explained every step of the buying process to them and allowed them to feel confident with their purchase. I couldn’t recommend Edinburgh Property Finders highly enough. Definitely a professional company with a family touch.”
Investor 2018
“Barbara was very helpful in finding and securing two investment properties for me in the New Town. While I am London-based, I grew up in Edinburgh, so I know the city well. However, Barbara’s detailed market knowledge and strong relationships with key advisers were invaluable.”
International Buyer 2018
“Working with Barbara took the stress out of the situation, not knowing the area well we were able to tap into her vast experience and local network to narrow our search. When it came to making an offer her guidance proved invaluable and we were able to secure the property we wanted. Barbara was professional and easy to work with, I would thoroughly recommend her services.”
