Mackinnons Partners Gear Up for Ride the North

On Saturday 26th of August, Mackinnons Partners Neil Torrance, Pamela Bursill and Gregor Sim will be tackling Ride the North together with friends and family to raise money for local children’s charity “Charlie House”.

Beginning and ending in Huntly, this year’s Ride the North consists of a 64 mile route or 100 mile route though Aberdeenshire and Moray Speyside. There will be a number of hills to climb during the route and Neil, Pamela and Gregor have been training hard to ensure they’re ready!

The team have decided to donate any funds raised from their efforts to the north-east charity, Charlie House. Charlie House was established in 2011 to help make life better for babies, children and young people in the North East of Scotland who have life-threatening or life-limiting conditions, and to support their families. In 2018, they launched their Big Build Appeal which aims to raise £8m to build a dedicated support centre in Aberdeen to allow families access to specialist support. https://www.charliehouse.org.uk/about-us

All staff at Mackinnons wish Neil, Pamela, Gregor and the team the best of luck for the day. Hopefully plenty of cake stops will provide enough energy to make the hills bearable!

For anyone who would like to make a donation to support this very worthy cause, the team’s JustGiving page can be found at: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/mackinnons-tour-de-farce

Residential Property Quarterly Reflections and Insights

The latest quarterly report from the ASPC gives a reassuring picture of local market activity, with the house price index remaining, mostly, in the positive. The change in quarterly price is +1.5%, while the annual change is -0.5%. Taken over five years, the index is marginally positive at +0.4%. While the figures are reassuring, it may well be that our local market is yet to feel the strain of the general economic background and only time will tell whether this will be reflected in the remainder of 2023. Buyers’ wariness over the short term may well affect property sales as they effectively “sit tight” to see what happens with interest rates. This may result in a sluggish Autumn/Winter market as moving plans are put on hold, but for the moment, there is still healthy demand for properties in desirable locations and in good condition.
