Was great he done fab
I would recommend Kai to anyone that’s selling a property
Wel manered wel dressed
Was such a lovely chap to deal with
As you can imagine, it’s definitely a stressful time indeed.
After having a visit from Graham Le Mar to my house for evaluation, and going through all my anxiety’s about how to approach the market - Graham put my anxiety's to rest.
I can say that the overall experience with KnightBain was excellent & handled professionally with Gragam.
I would definitely recommend a chat with him ☑️👍
One thing that stood out early on was his approach to valuation. Kai gave me an honest, realistic figure rather than inflating it to win my business, which I later learned is a tactic some agents use. It might sound appealing at first, but overpriced homes sit on the market and that serves nobody. His integrity there set the tone for everything that followed.
Viewings were handled brilliantly. Every single request was accommodated without hesitation, and Kai was always there early. He was friendly and patient throughout, and noticeably spent more time listening to us than talking at us, which is rarer than it should be.
He was also consistently professional in how he spoke about other agents and agencies, never a bad word, which I found quietly impressive.
Communication was excellent from start to finish. Texts and calls were always answered quickly, and Kai kept me informed at every stage without me having to chase.
The result spoke for itself: an excellent offer secured, and a process that felt far less stressful than I had anticipated. I would not hesitate to recommend Kai.
A huge thank you to Kai for his professionalism, excellent communication, knowledge, and support throughout the entire process. Selling a home can be incredibly stressful, but Kai made everything feel much smoother and kept us informed every step of the way.
He is extremely professional, knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely excellent at what he does. His dedication, attention to detail, and calm, reassuring manner truly stood out, and thanks to his hard work we successfully sold our home.
I would highly recommend Kai to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. He is a true professional and a real credit to KnightBain.
Thank you again for everything.

Valuing Your Property
KnightBain provides accurate property valuations based on local market knowledge, recent sales data, and your property’s condition. Our valuations are free and come with no obligation, giving you a clear understanding of what your home could achieve on the market.
Marketing Your Property
We create high-quality marketing to present your property at its best, including professional photography, detailed descriptions, floor plans, and video where appropriate. Your property is then listed on major portals like Rightmove and Zoopla, and promoted across social media and our buyer database.
Arranging Your Home Report
In Scotland, a Home Report is a legal requirement when selling a property. We organise this on your behalf with a surveyor accredited by RICS, ensuring your Single Survey, Energy Report, and Property Questionnaire are completed correctly.
Viewing Management
Your dedicated KnightBain agent will arrange and conduct viewings with potential buyers, coordinating times that suit you. We manage the process professionally while giving you the option to be involved as much or as little as you prefer.
Buyer Vetting
We carefully vet all potential buyers, carrying out identity and compliance checks, confirming proof of funds or mortgage agreements, and assessing their position. This ensures only serious, qualified buyers are progressing with your property.
Negotiation
KnightBain handles all negotiations on your behalf, working to secure the best possible price and terms. Our experience ensures offers are managed strategically to achieve strong outcomes for sellers.
Sale Progression
Once an offer is accepted, we manage the sale through to completion by liaising with solicitors, surveyors, and all parties involved. This keeps the process moving efficiently while reducing stress and uncertainty for you.
Home Staging & Sale Preparation
We provide practical advice to help present your property at its best, from decluttering and minor repairs to overall presentation. Where needed, we can also arrange trusted contractors to carry out recommended improvements and maximise buyer appeal.
