Personalised Property Management: The Benefits Of Edinburgh Letting Agents

Posted: 21st June 2024

Owners of Edinburgh rental properties look to make a strong return on their investments, and some even rely on them as a main source of income. Those with property portfolios in the city can expect rental yields of around 6% in one of the UK’s most desirable places to live. 

Demand for homes in Edinburgh consistently outstrips supply, so there’s always a ready stream of tenants looking for properties. Rents are at an all-time high, and the Scottish Government’s short-term let licensing scheme has yet to deliver more homes into the long-term lettings market so competition is fierce. 

If it’s easy to find tenants in Edinburgh, what can a letting agent bring to the table? At Clan Gordon, the personalised service we provide to landlords makes a difference from the moment they sign up with us to manage their property… 

Personalised Property Management To Suit Your Individual Needs 

Unlike some other agents, we treat all our landlords as individuals. No two landlords are the same, and we take time to get to know them so they feel looked after and they trust us to manage their property efficiently and effectively. 

Our expertise in the local property market means we can offer advice to help landlords make the most of their properties. We’ve been looking after rental homes in the city for almost 20 years, and we know what adds value and what tenants are looking for. 

Landlords Benefit From Money-Saving Expertise 

From the moment we take on a property, we share our experience about worthwhile renovations and upgrades. We never let our landlords spend money unnecessarily, and we have a team of reputable local tradespeople who can carry out work to a high standard at a reasonable cost.  

We work with landlords and their budgets to agree a scheme of work, and then we closely supervise to ensure it’s completed on time, to a good standard and at the agreed cost.  

Finding The Right Tenants For Your Property 

Once the property is ready to be marketed, we talk to the landlord about the type of tenants they want to attract, whether it’s professional couples, families or students. Taking time to find tenants who are a perfect match means they’re likely to be happier with the property and stay longer. 

Bespoke Approach To Property Management 

Our bespoke approach to property management continues throughout. We ask our landlords how much contact and feedback they want from us, and landlords can even log in to view any details regarding our management at any time. 

We look after your home as if it were our own, carrying out regular inspections to ensure your tenants are keeping it well maintained and identifying any issues early before they become serious problems. 

We provide a point of contact between landlords and their tenants without losing the personal touch, which is why 100% of landlords and 97% of tenants trust us with their property management. 

If you’re looking for personalised property management for your Edinburgh rental property, arrange a call with one of our professional property managers and find out what Clan Gordon has to offer.
