Tenant-Find Service

A tenant-find service is ideal for landlords who wish to manage the property themselves, however find that the advertising, referencing and placing of tenants can be tricky.

Our tenant-find service is set up to assist the landlord in the areas that they most need assistance with and leave the rest of the management with them.  Nonetheless, Laidlaw Lettings is always on hand to provide advice throughout the tenancy period.

The service includes the following:

• Collection of deposit & first month's rent
• Allocation of deposit to a landlord deposit scheme

All of the above are optional and we tailor the service to suit the landlord for long-term, short-term and holiday lets in East Lothian and Edinburgh.

The tenant-find service is an exclusive £250+VAT.

That is why I am proud when the feedback I receive about Laidlaw Lettings is commending the customer service.

Spring Clean

Happy Easter!  Now is the time many of us start giving many areas of our lives a Spring clean to make sure that we are getting the most efficient and cost effective deal.  This goes for rental properties too.

If you feel disappointed or let down by your current letting agent now is the time to start looking for whether you can get a better service elsewhere.

The biggest bugbears for most landlords are: 1) being charged for something that they are not aware of and, 2) getting passed from person to person in the lettings department.

At Laidlaw Lettings we can eradicate both of these problems as we are a small personal company with quality service at our core.  We are concerned with quality and not quantity, and all the properties are handled by Susan, the business owner.

Susan has over 10 years experience in the lettings market and since starting Laidlaw Lettings, has excelled at providing both landlords and tenants an exceptional service.

If you have a property that you are currently letting out with another agent and are unhappy with the way it is being handled, then contact Susan to find out how Laidlaw Lettings can help provide a friendly, quality service.

Finding the Right Tenant for your Rental Property

Finding a tenant for your rental property can be tricky, as most landlords ask themselves; will they look after the property? Will the tenant pay their rent?

With years of practice, Laidlaw Lettings has developed the experience and knowledge to finding the right tenant(s) for landlords, whether it be for short or long term leases on a let only or full management basis.  The main reason for this is valuing the relationship between both landlord and tenant.

Now is the Time

There has been a dramatic change in temperature over the weekend signalling the end of the Summer and for those thinking about renting out their property, now is the time to do something about it.

Before we know it Christmas will be upon us and the rental market tends to quieten down at this time.

So if you are thinking about renting out your property it is better to start speaking to agents now about rental valuations and the length of time they reckon it would take to rent out.

Beware of Web Scams for Holiday/Festival Lets

It is now Festival time in Edinburgh, where around 2 million people will visit during the month of August.

Unfortunately, this is also the time of year when con artists spring up to con people out of their money.  There has already been a warning to people renting out properties during the festival to make sure that they only secure bookings with reputable agents.

The best way to ensure that the company is reputable is by checking whether they are accredited with any of the letting standards such as Landlord Accreditation Scotland or Scottish Association of Landlords.
