A quiet moment in Tarbert 📸

One of those mornings when the harbour was almost perfectly still and everything reflected back at you.

Working across Argyll means spending a lot of time on the road, but it also means getting to know the places, properties and little pockets that make this area what it is.

Not a bad place to call home, or work. 😊

📍 FIELD NOTES #4

A property listing can give you the facts.

But some things are harder to capture in photographs and descriptions.

How steep the access feels. The smell when you walk through the door. The noise outside. How the light falls through a room. The condition of a communal entrance. Or whether somewhere that looks spacious in photographs actually feels that way.

Then there are the things you only notice because one observation leads to another.

A patch of damp makes you look at what sits above it. An unusual alteration raises a question about when or why it was done. Something outside gives context to something you noticed inside.

You’re not necessarily diagnosing a problem. You’re observing, making connections and knowing what questions to ask next.

And not everything you notice is a negative.

A steep staircase might be irrelevant to one buyer and a deal-breaker to another. An unusual layout might be awkward to some and full of character to someone else.

A good viewing isn’t just about looking for faults.

It’s about understanding the property properly.

Property in Argyll is different.

And that’s exactly why I love working here.

Elev8 Argyll Properties has grown around the kind of property work I could see was needed locally: good local knowledge, someone on the ground, practical help and an honest pair of eyes.

From sourcing properties and carrying out viewings on behalf of buyers, investors and agents, to helping keep renovation projects moving, the work can look a little different from one day to the next.

What connects it all is pretty simple: knowing the area, understanding the property and being someone people can trust to represent their interests when they can’t be here themselves.

Based in Mid-Argyll and working across Argyll & Kintyre.

Some weeks remind you why you started.

This week has been one of them.

Some time has been spent out on viewings, some speaking with property owners, some researching opportunities, some following up conversations, and yes… some at my pharmacy job too.

It would probably be easy to look at social media and assume everything happens quickly. The reality is that building a business is often lots of small conversations, learning, following up and quietly putting pieces together.

And despite the uncertainty of building something from scratch, I’m enjoying the process.

Every week I’m understanding Argyll’s property market a little better, meeting more people who care about the area, and becoming clearer about where I can genuinely help.

Progress doesn’t always look dramatic.

Sometimes it’s simply another connection made, another lesson learned, another door opened.

It’s funny how a business rarely grows in the way you imagine, but often grows in exactly the way you need.

Onwards. 🌿

Housing is something that affects all of us, whether you’re a homeowner, tenant, landlord, investor or simply care about the future of our communities.

Argyll and Bute Council is asking for views on how council tax premiums for second homes and long-term empty properties should be approached in the future.

Whatever your perspective, it’s worth taking a few minutes to have your say. The more local voices that are heard, the better informed future housing decisions can be.

For me, it’s another reminder that bringing empty homes back into use is an important part of the wider housing picture here in Argyll, and it’s useful to understand the direction the council and our communities want to take.

The consultation is open until 14 September and the link is in the post below.

🏠 Second homes and empty property council tax – what do you think?

As part of actions to increase housing options for residents of Argyll and Bute, we're inviting views on council tax on second homes and long-term empty properties.
