Galbraith is a property consultancy in Scotland. The firm offers a range of property consulting services across commercial, residential and rural sectors.

History

In April 2003, CKD Galbraith was formed through the merger of the Scottish offices of Cluttons with CKD Finlayson Hughes.[2][3] The firm has antecedents dating back to the 18th century. In July 2009, CKD Galbraith acquired the Buccleuch John Sale estate agency and chartered surveying business based in the Scottish borders, thus adding three regional offices to its network.[4] In 2013, CKD Galbraith merged with Hayes Macfarlane becoming one of the top Single Farm Payment brokerages in Scotland.[5] In 2017, the company was rebranded as Galbraith.[6]

Services

The firm operates in a range of real estate sectors, including residential, commercial, estate, and farm property.[3] It arranges finance through the Agricultural Mortgage Corporation for commercial farms and estates.[7] Galbraith also has an established energy department that advises landowners and other private clients on the suitability and likely return from windfarm developments across Scotland.[8][9] In 2017, the firm confirmed that it would start a UK-wide specialist investment agency brokerage service.[10]

Estate sales

In 2011, the firm handled the sale of Taransay, an island in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland,[11][12] Tournaig and Heights of Kinlochewe estates, near Gairloch,[13] Millden estate in Angus,[14] Dalmagarry Estate at Moy[15] and several other estates.[15]
