We are members of The Council of Letting Agents, Scottish Landlord Registration, The Property Ombudsman and we have Client Money Protection Insurance and Professional Indemnity Insurance to cover all advice and actions that the business undertakes.
With us, you also get the benefit of an agent with first-hand experience as a landlords themselves.
Your property will appear on the best performing property portals locally, as this remains the main source of tenant leads. We also use various sector-specific letting sites and we are amongst the few agents with a very significant social media following. We can also use traditional print in select cases if this proves effective.
We are also local which means the know the tenant demographic, we know employment and business trends, where new investment opportunities are as they break through such as for corporate lets. This means they truly understand what works best.
We use leading market software to manage tenancies and this means great communication with tenants.
Companies make great tenants, as the rent usually comes direct from the company and tenants rarely occupy the properties due to the working hours and usually return home at weekends. This means less in repairs and more in rental. This area is specific to certain demand areas within which we operate. Ask us about further details.
We always have an active tenant database and encourage people to tell us what properties that they are after.
For landlords, this means we have everything in place to make their listing available to thousands of tenants, both in house and on third party portals as soon as it is uploaded to our system.
Due to the Introduction of the First Tier Tribunal in Scotland we specifically have our service tailored for our landlords to remove the risks associated with this.
