Expert Property Managers in Edinburgh

We give you a breakdown of costs rather than charging a single lump sum. This is part of our commitment to a transparent fee structure and allows you to select aspects of our service rather than being obliged to pay for elements you do not require.

It depends on the level of service you require. RentLocally offers landlords the option of three packages, Fully Managed, Let Only Plus or Advertise Only, and the different services are reflected in the fees. When you arrange for a free property valuation with RentLocally, our local property agent will provide you with detailed and transparent information about our fee structure.

All landlords have to declare earnings on profits made from leasing property, whether they live in the UK or are based overseas. We recommend seeking advice from HMRC.

This depends on the area and the size of the property. Most 3+ bedroom properties are best left unfurnished, as families tend to have their own furniture. Most tenants looking for 1 or 2 bedroom flats would expect them to be furnished. The more flexible you can be with furnishings the easier it will be to secure a tenant. However, the more furniture you supply, the more you need to repair and replace if a tenant damages it. As a result, many landlords prefer to let their properties unfurnished.

A notice to quit will be issued to the tenant to leave the property and outstanding rent or damages can be sought through small claims court proceedings if the tenant will not commit to a payment plan. Specific landlord insurance can insure against non payment of rent.
