First class
This was my first experience at Auctions, however, Breaveheart Auction House has made it an easy and clear expirience for me, even at times I have struggled, they have stepped in and provided assistance, which I am very greatful for, as due to this help it has allowed me to secure my future/dream destination for a house!
Thank you Braveheart!
I was a bit skeptical when my husband came to me with a plot of land Braveheart were selling, but I did my due diligence, made sure the plot was the right one for us (one in a place called Garve) and asked A LOT of questions! Nicola and Stephen were happy to answer these for me and my mind was put at ease. The sale has just finalised and by using the solicitor they recommended it was a speedy and simple process! I was Brave.....I did follow my heart ❤️ thank you

We had a great experience with Braveheart Auctions
Unlike some of the reviews we had a really good experience with Braveheart Auctions. We purchased a holiday home through them and they’ve been great, Andrew in particular who helped chase contacts, questions and get everything over the line. He kept us informed by phone and email and was always on hand with any queries we had. Will be in touch again in future for anything else we need. Thanks again Andrew and team!
A local agent told me they couldn't…
A local agent told me they couldn't sell my house because of structural issues. Braveheart were excited to take it on and sold it quickly. Easy to deal with.
Be careful and look into what you are buying …
As a lot of people are saying I payed a deposit for land that was mis sold. The lawyer the past me onto no longer deals with them. And has asked then not to give out his number.
Daniel has responded. But just be careful.
Buyer Beware.
The Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park Authority has recently issued a press release regarding unauthorised development in Balquhidder, specifically in an area between Stroneslaney Road and the River Balvaig. The Authority has issued a Temporary Stop Notice due to unauthorized engineering works on land where planning permission was not sought or granted. The Authority is also concerned about the marketing of small plots of land for sale in this flood-prone area, warning potential buyers about the unsuitability of the land for development.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Unauthorised Development:
The National Park Authority has taken action against unauthorized development, including engineering works, on land near the River Balvaig in Balquhidder.
Temporary Stop Notice:
A Temporary Stop Notice has been issued to halt the unauthorized works.
Lack of Planning Permission:
No planning permission was sought or granted for the development taking place.
Flood Risk:
The area where the plots are being sold is known to be at risk of flooding, making development highly unlikely to be approved.
Marketing of Plots:
The Authority is concerned about the ongoing marketing of these plots, especially at auction, without proper disclosure of the development constraints.
Buyer Beware:
The Authority is urging potential buyers to seek professional advice and the Park Authority's planning advice before purchasing land in this area.
Past Warnings:
The Authority had previously engaged with the landowner and the agent selling the plots to highlight the planning and flood risks associated with the area.
I tried to buy land from another…
I tried to buy land from another auction company but i found the staff really unhelpful. I spoke to Daniel and he helped me to do what I needed and charged a far lower fee than the other company. Both were selling the same land.
We have sold 4 flats with Braveheart…
We have sold 4 flats with Braveheart Auctions. We give them the price we need and they do the rest. Good guys
The people are nice until they sell…
The people are nice until they sell then they don't communicate. The plots are sold misleading its buyers. They don't advise of hidden charges yet tell you when you ask that there are none.
They charge for sellers legal fees. Promise to provide video of your land and to put in markers showing your plot. At this point no videos of land. And I can only presume they have placed the property markers in place for my plot.
Very dissapointing. Very misleading and rushed. Not told to read the legal packs or advised about them. The legal pack by tge way is a tab saying further information which you are not advised about. Just rushed to pay deposits secure land and then they don't want to know you as a purchaser or your lawyer.

I havent bought anything through this…
I havent bought anything through this company but they are offering to sell Land that is SSSi Land.I.Please check with Highland council before you buy.Please check out Highland cops video on youtube video SSSi achnabobane/ SSSi destruction. PH34 4EX Its a criminal offence to put anything on site of special scientific interest if you do so without getting permision of Nature scot. You will never ever get Planning permision on this Land.I will add though this company does tell you this is SSSi Land in their advertisement just adding this to be honest and Fair.Just contact Highland council before you buy to be safe.
. They have now slapped an enforcement order on the site.Nobody has to believe me check with the Highland council and Nature Scot they are the Law.I'm sorry but you have been caught out.I am myself a owner of Land there and i and all the People that have bought a plot there are also on the enforcement order.I have the Official enforcement order in my Posession.

Total scam of a company
Total scam of a company. Turned out that the plot sold to me had been developed without planning permission and as a new owner I'm responsible for its reinstatement! The plot is worthless and I'll have to spend thousands of pounds to turn it back into a forest.
Don't believe a word they say and instead check back with the Council. Braveheart sell protected sites, where no developments, including pods and huts will ever be allowed. It's a land banking scam and nothing more. Avoid at all cost!

Incorrect Information Provided - Misrepresented Land
Provided incorrect information to me ahead of an auction sale which led to burdens assigned to my land that was the opposite of advice given by Braveheart.
Struggled to get a proper conversation post sale and requests to meet were ignored.
Disappointed as I spent time explaining to Braveheart that this was my first time investing and now feel taken advantage of.
Avoid like the plague
Avoid like the plague. The plots that are being auctioned here are on bits of land that have been denied planning permission and there is not, nor ever will be, any access to services. You can find out about the many failed planning permissions online. The guy trying to sell these plots is a complete fraud.
