Kenneth Laing
Kenny has recently joined the firm as our Head of Estate Agency.
Kenny was born in Nigeria, his family then moved to Prestwick and then Dumfries where he started his education before moving to Musselburgh and on to Loretto school in Musselburgh. Kenny continued his education at the University of Aberdeen where he earned a BSc in Agriculture. Kenny then moved to London where he stayed for several years before relocating to sunny Portugal. Kenny and his family settled and lived in Portugal until they returned to Scotland and moved into the Borders six years ago. Kenny now lives in Peebles and loves its beautiful location and sense of community.
Kenny has worked in property for twenty-three years, beginning his career as an Estate Agent in London before moving to work in Portugal and then later in Scotland. Kenny brings a wealth of experience and is very familiar with the local market.
Kenny loves all things property, but has a particular interest in architecture and the variety and development of construction over time. The history and evolution of engineering, structure and styles of property is something that Kenny is passionate about. Kenny’s favourite thing about being an Estate Agent is meeting and getting to know people from all walks of life and he loves seeing, visiting (and selling) all types of property.
Kenny has many interests outside of Estate Agency and property. He loves sport and enjoys both watching and playing golf and tennis. He enjoys being home and having time to work in his garden but he also has a passion for travelling and seeing the world. Kenny enjoys entertaining and when he is not working he will often be found in the kitchen cooking for his friends and family. Kenny’s children also love sport and he is supporting them with his position as the treasurer of the Borders U17 netball club.
Kenny’s three favourite things (in no particular order) are: Portuguese red wine; travelling and spending quality time with his wife and children; and Watching rugby, in particular Edinburgh/Glasgow/Scotland matches.
