Selling your property in Deeside could be a smart move – and Northwood’s recent track record is proof.
Our Banchory office has sold several properties in the town and surrounding areas in recent weeks, with some going under offer within just weeks, or even days, of going on the market. From cottages to family homes in the centre of Banchory, and from beautiful steadings in the heart of the country to holiday homes at Inchmarlo, Northwood – with its local and national reach - has helped find the perfect home in and around the area for people from all over the UK.
Who’s Buying in Deeside?
Northwood Head of Sales and Banchory Office Manager Ali Clark said there had been a diverse range of buyers this season, including:
- First-time buyers looking for a peaceful place to live
- Holiday home seekers drawn to the charm of Inchmarlo and Royal Deeside
- Relocators from outside Aberdeenshire, discovering Deeside’s appeal
- Local movers upgrading for more space and lifestyle
- Property developers

Ali said that this kind of momentum shows that buyers are actively looking and are ready to move.
“Demand has been strong for homes that are modern and ready to move into. Well-presented homes in desirable locations are moving quickly, especially those that are turnkey-ready,” said Ali.
“Properties with land and spacious family homes are in high demand, and Inchmarlo continues to be a hotspot for holiday rentals. We have a steady stream of people into the Banchory office looking for property in the area and we are always on the lookout for new properties to market.”
While modern homes tend to sell faster, there is still strong interest in properties that need a bit of updating, Ali said.
“We recently took on a home that had lingered on a local advertising platform for months with little traction, but once we took it over, refreshed the photos and listed it nationally, we had a flurry of viewings, and it sold at asking price.”
Known as the Gateway to Royal Deeside, Banchory is set in the heart of historic sites, castles, and endless places of natural beauty. Boasting excellent schools, independent shops, supermarkets and leisure facilities, the town has a strong sense of community, with local events, markets, and clubs a popular choice for people of all ages.
It is also a popular destination for holiday rentals, making it a smart investment for buyers interested in short-term letting.
Ali said: “Banchory offers a wide range of property types to suit every lifestyle and budget, whether you are a first-time buyer or a family looking for more space. It’s also the perfect setting for those looking for a better work-life balance.”
