We’re proud to share that Verdala has been named Best Small Business 2026 at The Courier Business Awards, one of the leading business awards in Tayside and Fife.
It was a competitive category, and the recognition reflects the care and high standards the whole team brings to every home we sell.
A huge thank you to every client who has trusted us with their home. Meet the team behind the award.
We’re proud to be working with Kirkwood Homes on Fernbrae, a flagship development for the luxury home builder, just off Perth Road in Dundee’s West End. The first release is eight apartments and duplexes, priced from £299,995.
The original villa dates from 1806 and is C-listed. It later became Fernbrae Hospital, which closed in 2019. Kirkwood Homes have carefully kept the original façade as the face of Fernbrae, and built a contemporary development of apartments, duplexes and mews houses behind it, with two modern wings, Balgay and Harris, on either side.
You arrive by a private driveway that sweeps up between protected trees and through extensive front gardens to the villa.
Kirkwood Homes have been building in Scotland for more than 40 years. Their Balgillo Heights development in Broughty Ferry was named Development of the Year at the 2025 Herald Property Awards for Scotland, and Fernbrae is their signature development. Every apartment comes with:
The cafés, bars and restaurants of Perth Road are within walking distance, the Botanic Garden is a 15-minute walk away, and the University of Dundee is close by. Ninewells Hospital, Dundee Airport and the railway station are all a short drive away.

The photographs are the first viewing most buyers will ever have of your home. A little preparation before the photographer arrives makes a real difference to how your home comes across online.
Kitchen worktops, bathroom shelves and bedside tables photograph best with almost nothing on them. Put away everyday clutter like kettles, toothbrushes, chargers and post.
Open every blind and curtain fully, and switch on the lights in each room. Replace any blown bulbs beforehand so the light is even.
Our photographer will take care of the angles and the light. If you’re unsure what to move, just ask on the day. We’re happy to help.
In Scotland, almost every home for sale needs a Home Report. It gives buyers an independent picture of the property before they make an offer, so it’s worth knowing how to read one.
The surveyor rates each part of the home from 1 to 3. Category 1 means no immediate action is needed. Category 2 means repairs or attention will be needed in future. Category 3 means urgent repairs are needed now.
The Home Report valuation is the surveyor’s view of the home’s market value. Your mortgage lender will usually use it, so it’s worth reading alongside the asking price.
If anything in the report is unclear, ask us before you offer. We can explain what a rating means and point you to the right people for further advice.
Every property we market has its Home Report available to view on the property page.
