Buying Property

Buying property in Scotland is handled differently to in England and Wales. Drever & Heddle provide a useful guide to the process on their web site - Guide to Purchasing Property in Scotland.

There is always property for sale listed in the Orcadian and Orkney Today newspapers. Both of these newspapers offer a subscription service and it may well be worth your while subscribing to either or both of these to keep an eye on what's going on in Orkney before moving here.
