For Landlords
One fee, one contact, nothing left for you to chase
Full residential and commercial management across Edinburgh at 9% + VAT of rent collected — including compliance, tenant sourcing, repairs and HMO expertise.
The service
Everything a let needs, managed in-house
Tenant sourcing & vetting
Marketing, accompanied viewings, referencing, affordability and right-to-rent checks before any lease is signed.
Valuation & pricing strategy
A rent figure built from comparable local lets, then reviewed at renewal so the property never drifts below market.
Repairs & maintenance
Trusted Edinburgh trades, instructed quickly, with agreed spend limits so small issues never become expensive ones.
Compliance management
Deposit schemes, gas and electrical safety certificates, EPCs, landlord registration and every regulation change since.
HMO specialism
Licensing applications, layout and safety requirements, and the ongoing management HMO property genuinely needs.
Refurbishment oversight
Improvement works specified and supervised, aimed squarely at achievable rent and lower long-term maintenance.
Pricing
9% + VAT of rent collected. That is the fee.
No separate charge for inspections, renewals, certificate coordination or answering the phone. If we do not collect rent, we do not charge a management fee.
