New landlords

Having taken on over 200 properties to let in Edinburgh, and being landlords ourselves, we are well aware of the expenses involved in setting up as a landlord. Depending on your circumstances, there may be all the costs associated with moving home or buying a new property.

There are then all the costs associated with becoming a landlord, such as preparing the property for let and complying with the various landlord obligations. The complete process is illustrated in our Handy letting checklist.

There are many letting agents in Edinburgh, and some offer to manage property for lower fees. Please check what qualifications they have, and consider what might happen when things go wrong.

It really is a case of "you get what you pay for". Have a look at what can happen if you use an unregulated agent - Glasgow Letting Agent Goes Bust July 2011.
