Letting your property shouldn’t be a hassle
But when you have to juggle…
…it can quickly feel like a full-time job.
You deserve a letting agent you can rely on to take care of everything – and get you great tenants who always pay on time.
I have used Clan Gordon as my letting agent for around 10-years and cannot fault them. Bearing in mind I live in Leeds and my rental property is in Edinburgh, they give a superb service, being fast, professional, and proactive with any responses or requirements. A key consideration is that I cannot recall the last time we had any 'dead time' between tenants. Very highly recommended.

What checks does Clan Gordon carry out on potential tenants?
As a responsible letting agent, all adult tenants are reference checked by a third-party company before they can move into rental properties. The reference checks we ask for include credit, bank validation, financial sanctions, and employment checks. We also ask for current a current landlord reference and a background search. If a tenant, such as some students, does not meet the criteria, then they would be required to have a UK-based guarantor listed.

If tenants are coming from overseas we complete a bespoke reference check which may include some rent paid upfront. We make sure landlords and tenants have transparent information to facilitate smooth move-ins.

What is the difference between a letting agent and an estate agent?
A letting agent, also known as a letting agency, is a professional or company that specialises in helping landlords find tenants for their rental properties.
Letting agents offer a range of services to property owners, including property management, tenant screening, and lease agreements. They focus primarily on the property rental market and the needs of landlords, tenants and property investors.
An estate agent, or estate agency, is a professional or company that deals with the sale, purchase, and valuation of properties. Estate agents help homeowners sell their properties and assist buyers in finding suitable homes. Their expertise lies in property sales and related services.
Key Differences:
Focus: Letting agents concentrate on the rental market, working with landlords to manage and lease their properties. Estate agents focus on property sales and purchases.
Services: Letting agents offer services such as tenant placement, rent collection, and property maintenance. Estate agents provide services related to buying, selling, and valuing properties.
Clientele: Letting agents primarily serve landlords, property owners and tenants, while estate agents assist both buyers and sellers in the property market.
Can Letting Agents Also Offer Property Management Services? Yes, many letting agents offer property management services as part of their offerings. This means they can help landlords not only find tenants but also handle ongoing property management tasks, such as maintenance and rent collection.
Can Estate Agents Assist with Rental Properties?
While estate agents primarily deal with property sales, some may offer limited assistance with rental properties. However, letting agents are more specialised and equipped to provide comprehensive services tailored to the rental market.
What if I have more questions or need guidance on mortgages or sale processes to buy an investment property for rental?
Our expertise goes beyond just rentals. Whether you have questions about buy-to-let mortgages, are considering a sale, or need a detailed guide, Clan Gordon is here to assist and signpost you to reliable experts in these areas. We urge customers to schedule a call with one of our qualified property managers to discuss this further.
