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.

If you are currently looking for advice on renting your property or looking for an agent to manage the process, please contact Susan on 07739 418478 or at susan@laidlawlettings.co.uk.

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.

The Benefits of Renting

'Generation Rent' has often been portrayed in the press as a negative issue, however there are a number of positives to renting.

• There is the flexibility to move on a frequent basis,
• The opportunity to live in popular locations that are usually out of reach for the majority of property buyers,
• The introduction of the Repairing Standard in 2006 has meant that properties are maintained to a certain standard and Landlords have a duty to ensure all repairs are carried out within a reasonable timeframe.  
• The quality of properties in the rental market is improving all the time.

For advice on renting whether you are a tenant or a landlord contact Susan on 07739 418478 or susan@laidlawlettings.co.uk.
