Fine & Country Expands into Edinburgh as Part of Strategic Growth Across Scotland

Fine & Country, the internationally recognised premium estate agency, has officially launched operations in Edinburgh, marking a significant expansion of its presence across Scotland. This move underscores the brand’s commitment to bringing its globally trusted model of high-end property marketing to the heart of one of the UK’s most sought-after locations.

The Edinburgh branch will be led by Andrew Jack, a respected property professional with over 22 years of experience managing high-value transactions. A long-term franchisee with Belvoir also part of The Property Franchise Group, Jack brings in-depth market knowledge and a proven track record of delivering outstanding results in the luxury sector. “Edinburgh’s unique blend of heritage, culture, and connectivity makes it an ideal setting for Fine & Country’s bespoke service offering,” said Jack.

Edinburgh continues to lead Scotland’s premium housing market, accounting for 43% of all residential transactions over £500,000 in 2024. As of March 2025, the average price of a detached home reached £671,000 reflecting a 9.8% annual increase. These figures highlight sustained demand for quality homes in the capital and reinforce the city’s strategic importance to Fine & Country’s expansion.

This launch forms part of a broader growth strategy across Scotland, spearheaded by Louisa Thomson, a seasoned real estate entrepreneur who has successfully operated Fine & Country’s Dumfries and Galloway office for the past four years. Thomson now leads ten licences spanning the Borders to the Highlands, extending the brand’s reach and reinforcing its commitment to comprehensive, high-quality service throughout the country.

“Fine & Country has developed a strong reputation for marketing premium properties with professionalism and precision,” said Thomson. “Our expansion is a response to increasing demand for a brand that combines international exposure with deep local expertise. We are already seeing strong engagement in new territories.”

Jonathan Handford, Interim Managing Director at Fine & Country, commented: “We are delighted to be strengthening our footprint in Scotland. With the leadership of Andrew Jack in Edinburgh and Louisa Thomson across the wider region, we are confident that Fine & Country will deliver significant value to the Scottish property market and set a new standard in the industry.”
