Northwood Banchory has celebrated its first anniversary, marking a year of growth and service in the heart of Deeside.
Since opening its doors on the bustling High Street last August, the agency has become a trusted name in the local property market. The Banchory office is Northwood’s third, the others being in Aberdeen’s Rosemount and Inverurie’s West High Street.
Owner and Director Laura Mearns said: “We love being part of the High Street – it’s vibrant, friendly and full of character and we’ve received a very warm welcome from local businesses and the wider community.
“Our main priorities this year have been about sharing our 16-year journey in property with the local community, introducing the team, and delivering local property events. We have also organised networking and community events for local businesses.”
Over the past 12 months, the team has been kept busy with both sales and lettings as the Deeside property market continues to be dynamic and in demand.

Laura said: “There is constant demand for rental properties, especially family homes, and we are always on the lookout for new properties to add to our books. In terms of sales, there continues to be strong interest across commuter and scenic towns. Deeside attracts a diverse demographic. Families and downsizers are consistently active in both the sales and rental markets, with well-presented properties generating the most interest and achieving higher values.”
Looking ahead to Northwood Banchory’s second year, Laura emphasised the team’s commitment to Deeside.
“Many of our small, dedicated team were born and brought up in the area or live here currently and because of that people and community are at the heart of all that they do. We offer a very personal service, and we have a visible High Street presence.
“We also have a strong national reach and exposure across the national portals - Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket – and time and again, we are seeing how important this is for people looking to move to the area from further afield.
“The next year will very much be all about building on the success of the past 12 months and making sure that we become the estate and lettings agent of choice for the area.”
