About Haughton Stotts

If you take the time to delve into the dusty old books in the Haughton Stotts’ archives, you find a captivating history of the development of inner city Melbourne. This history can be traced through the progress of the businesses of 2 real estate agents: Haughton and Stott. As early as 1901, Stott & Basting was established as a real estate agency in metropolitan Melbourne. Their office at 203 High Street, Northcote has been part of the Stott real estate business ever since. In fact, it is still in use as our Northcote office today. Stott & Basting real estate developed through the ups and downs of the early 20th century and by the 1920s they had become key estate agents and auctioneers in the Northcote area. The business became Stott Son & Watson around 1924 and by the end of 1925 they had additional offices in Thornbury, Preston and Fairfield Park.
