About Us

Founder & Managing Director

Neil McLeod

Neil established Property Partners in May 2018 having successfully run its forerunner, Energy Let, for eight years. He rebranded the company to better reflect the range of services it offers and the partnership relationships with its customers.

After leaving Banff Academy and going on to Robert Gordon University, Neil has worked in a variety of roles in the fields of architecture, civil engineering, and property, gaining qualifications in Building & Surveying, Architectural Technology, Civil Engineering, Residential Letting and Energy Assessment along the way.

Neil initially set up Energy Let to manage his property and properties for friends and family. The business and the range of services he offered began to expand and in 2017 he followed his dream and gave up his job as a Project Manager/Architectural Technician and started working on his own business full time.

Passionate about providing a first-class, professional service to his customers across all sectors on the smallest project up to the largest, he is committed to continuing to look for innovative ways to develop Property Partners’ range of services with new technology and smarter ways of working.

A strong believer in continual development, Neil is actively involved in advancing his investment knowledge alongside like-minded property peers across the country, while helping establish local business groups Network Northeast and Banffshire Business Forum.

Sport is also a big part of Neil’s life, as anyone who has visited the office will testify. Although, like everything else, he’s not a fan of just spectating and can regularly be found out running with Deveron Harriers, on his bicycle or the fairways of Turriff Golf Club. Thankfully his partner Moira is into her sport too, just as well you might say!

Trainee Architectural Technologist & Letting Consultant

Shaya Anderson

Shaya joined Property Partners in March 2019 on placement from 3rd year of her Architectural Technology degree at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen. On completion of her placement, Shaya continued to work with us on a part-time basis while completing her Honours year at RGU, and in August 2020 became Property Partners first, full-time employee. No mean feat considering we were in the middle of a global pandemic at the time!

While undertaking the majority of the Architectural work within the team, Shaya is also continually developing her knowledge and experience within the letting department and is currently working towards her qualification in Letting and Managing Residential Property.

The letting department allows Shaya to put her interest in Photography and skills with Photoshop to good use, producing the marketing material for your rental properties, alongside a lot of our social media content.

Brought up in Buckie, where she continues to live, Shaya is often the initial friendly voice or face you will encounter when calling the office, visiting us at Lyon’s Den or viewing one of our properties.

Foundation Apprentice in Business Skills

Patryk Basta

Patryk joined Property Partners in September 2019 on a one-year Foundation Apprenticeship placement. Patryk combined his final year studies at Turriff Academy with the placement and college element of the apprenticeship. He has since progressed to Aberdeen University, studying Business and Economics, while continuing to support Property Partners where he can. Keen and motivated, Patryk has a can-do attitude and often provides a fresh and independent outlook to identify potential solutions.

During his initial placement, Patryk undertook a full review of our website, social media and marketing, with many of his initial findings and proposals continuing to be implemented today.

Like Neil, Patryk lives in Turriff and outwith work and education, he is a keen football enthusiast, often playing or giving up his time to coach various local teams and groups.
