A new opportunity has arisen to join the well-established, successful and growing team at Bowlts, an independent firm of Rural Chartered Surveyors, established in 1991. Based at Pluscarden, just outside Elgin, in Moray, the firm operates across the north of Scotland.
With a team of 15 staff, our core activity is property consultancy and rural estate management, advising both retained and private clients on a broad range of property matters. Due to an increased workload, we are seeking a new member of the land agency team to support and contribute to our expanding portfolio.

- Estate management
- Letting of sporting, grazing and residential properties

- Book-keeping, payroll and VAT services
- Sales and purchases of houses, farms, woodland, and fishings
- Planning and development
- Architectural services, including building repairs and renewals
- Utilities, pipeline and wayleaves compensation work
- Renewables energy projects
- Forestry
- Valuation
- Mapping and GIS services
- Natural capital and emerging rural markets
The rural practice department currently consists of three fully qualified land agents and one trainee. The team has responsibility for the retained management of a number of estates across the north of Scotland, alongside consultancy work for a diverse range of clients.
Many of the estates under management include a significant forestry element, supported by our dedicated in-house forestry team.
