Hannah Christiansen, head of the estate agency team in Aberdeen, said: “Although we have witnesses a slower start to the year, which is common during the winter months, we are seeing an improvement in market activity from prospective buyers and we have been out to apprise many properties with a view to them coming onto the market in time for the busy summer selling period.

“What has been interesting is the increase in buyers coming from overseas, the rest of the UK and out with Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.

"Popular rural locations remain in demand where good country properties with a sizable garden or portion of land sell very well.”
