The principle of The Lemon Tree Company is Chrissie Ballantyne. Chrissie has many years experience working within property markets, arranging finance in the UK, Overseas and Guernsey in the Channel Islands for individuals, companies and Trusts. The Lemon Tree Company, first established by Chrissie some 5 years ago, is very much a hybrid service - property based, offering services to both buyer and seller.     In short, she is a Property Consultant acting on behalf of her clients, be they buyer or seller and to whom she has a contractual obligation. Chrissie is often asked by would-be buyers to find a property for a particular purpose - investment, own use or a combination of the two.   In such cases, she will act directly on behalf of the buyer, usually on a fee basis.    See our Property Finding page for more information.     These days, the London market is proving to be the most popular sourcing destination.      Chrissie is also appointed by property sellers, owners of individual properties, large and small developers, to market their projects and great care is taken to only promote and sell properties with clear information and terms, and which she views personally and is able to endorse whole- heartedly.   In these cases, Chrissie receives commission from the seller. Chrissie continuously monitors present and future markets, and analyses worldwide data to ensure that her clients receive the best advice to suit their particular needs.   The Lemon Tree Company - “So, what is it you actually do then?”
