Blackadders LLP has promoted its newly recruited Director of Residential Property, Claire Ogston, to Partner and Head of the firm’s Residential Property Unit.

Claire joined the firm’s Aberdeen team earlier this year after having had more than 17 years’ experience in residential property. She brought her expertise as an authority in the Aberdeen market from Ledingham Chalmers.

Claire, who was born, raised and educated in the city, said: “I have really enjoyed working with the Blackadders’ team since I joined and we are beginning to see real progress in our residential property offering.

“I am determined to build on that progress and am looking forward to achieving our ambitious goals with the team.”

Ryan McKay, Joint Managing Partner, said: “Claire has proved to be a tremendous addition to the Aberdeen team and we are delighted she is stepping up to the challenge of being a Partner. I know the team will continue to perform and deliver for our clients in a challenging market.”

Claire’s role as Head of the Residential Property Unit will give her a national role across the Firm’s offices in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee and Aberdeen.

The Residential Property Team’s local insight and experience helps clients with the best possible service, providing all the information needed to make the right choice whether they are buying or selling property. The team routinely works at short notice, to tight deadlines and to a very high standard.
