As your letting agent, we want to ensure you understand your responsibilities as a landlord in Scotland. These include ensuring the property is safe and habitable, complying with safety regulations (such as gas and electrical safety), protecting tenants' deposits in a government-approved tenancy deposit scheme, providing an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), and ensuring the property meets the Repairing Standard as outlined in the Housing (Scotland) Act 2006.

To prepare your property for letting, we recommend conducting necessary repairs and maintenance, ensuring the property is clean and in good condition, obtaining the required safety certificates, setting a competitive rental price, and creating a detailed inventory of the property’s contents. We can assist you with all these steps to ensure a smooth letting process.

A tenancy agreement should clearly outline the names of the landlord and tenant(s), the property address, the start and end date of the tenancy, the amount of rent and payment details, responsibilities of both parties, notice periods for ending the tenancy, and any additional terms or conditions. We can help draft a comprehensive agreement tailored to your needs.

We utilize a variety of methods to find suitable tenants for your property, including marketing it on popular online property portals, using social media, and leveraging our network of potential tenants. We also conduct thorough vetting processes to ensure we find reliable tenants for your property.

As your letting agent, we conduct several checks on potential tenants, including reference checks to verify employment and previous rental history, credit checks to assess financial reliability. This process helps us ensure that we find trustworthy tenants for your property.

We ensure that tenants know how to report maintenance and repair issues clearly. Our team responds promptly to all maintenance requests and keeps a record of all repairs and maintenance work carried out. We have established relationships with reliable contractors to ensure timely service for your property.

If a tenant fails to pay rent, we will take the appropriate steps to address the situation. This includes contacting the tenant to discuss the issue and understanding any challenges they may be facing. We will review the tenancy agreement regarding late payments and follow the necessary procedures to resolve the matter professionally and fairly.
