VIEWINGS
We respond to 100% of our property query emails.
DPS Property Boutique have never engaged in large open style viewings preferring instead to meet interested individuals personally and allowing time to chat to potential purchasers and tenants privately. We believe this method offers a more comfortable viewing experience and leads to a higher success rate in choosing the right fit of both buyer and tenant. (Click here to arrange an individual viewing appointment for any of our current listings)
Our viewing policy has recently undergone a further upgrade by incorporating ‘best practices’ influenced by both National and Property Sector Covid-19 Protocols. We strive to make these protocols our ‘New Normal’. (Click her to view ‘New Normal’ Covid-19 Viewings Protocols).
