Northern property surveyor opens its first Scottish office with new appointment

YoungsRPS, chartered surveyors and property consultants, has opened a new office in Scotland.

This is the latest move in a series of expansions made by the business, recently adding offices in Yorkshire and Newcastle with Stanton Mortimer.

In addition to new offices, Mike Halliday has joined the company as farm consultant. He is a graduate in Agriculture from Aberdeen University, and the third generation in his family to farm in the Dumfrieshire area.

YoungsRPS is to concentrate on the rural services of farm sales and estate management at its new office location in Dumfrieshire. It is to be headed by its director, Tom Oates. Scottish heritage is said to be strong throughout the YoungsPRS teams.

Tom Oates commented: “This is an exciting move for the company. Over recent years at YoungsRPS, we have built a significant client base throughout Scotland, including a large following in the Isles.

“We believe the time is now right to offer these clients an enhanced service by opening a dedicated rural office in Scotland. A Scottish base will also enable us to expand the farm and land sales and purchase side of the business within Scotland.”

YoungsRPS is a long-established property business, specialising in the rural sector. The company has offices throughout the North East, Yorkshire, Cumbria and Scotland.
