Letting Your Property with Albany Lettings At Albany Lettings, we make letting your property in Scotland straightforward, compliant, and profitable.

Whether you're a first-time landlord in Edinburgh or an experienced investor with a growing portfolio across Scotland, our local letting experts provide clear guidance on rental valuations, tenant referencing, property marketing, and Scottish letting legislation.

With Albany Lettings, you stay in control while we take care of the day-to-day details - keeping your property legally compliant, tenanted, and generating reliable income.

Is your Rent set at the right level?

As a landlord in Scotland, you always have the final say on the rent for your property.

At Albany Lettings, our Edinburgh property management team provides accurate rental valuations based on:

  • Current Scottish rental market conditions
  • Recently let properties in your area
  • The size, quality, and condition of your property

Unlike some letting agents in Scotland, we don't inflate rental prices just to win instructions. Overpricing can cause longer void periods and unnecessary tenant turnover. Instead, we focus on helping landlords achieve a fair, competitive rent - maximising income while keeping your property let and minimising vacancies.

Advertising Your Property

At Albany Lettings, we ensure your property gets maximum exposure to attract the right tenants quickly. Our marketing strategy includes:

  • Featuring your property on the Albany Lettings website
  • Advertising on leading UK and Scottish property portals such as Rightmove and Zoopla
  • Targeted digital marketing to reach thousands of active renters in Edinburgh and across Scotland

This multi-channel approach helps your property stand out in a competitive rental market, reduces void periods, and ensures landlords secure reliable tenants faster.

Viewings: Personal and Professional

At Albany Lettings, we don't rely on "open house:" style viewings where tenants compete for attention. Instead, our dedicated Lettings Negotiator arranges individual property viewings in Edinburgh and across Scotland, giving prospective tenants the time to:

  • Explore the property thoroughly
  • Ask questions in a relaxed, private setting
  • Gain personal insight and guidance from our local lettings team

This tailored approach creates a better experience for tenants and ensures landlords attract the most suitable applicants. After viewings, you'll receive a clear summary of all tenancy applications, and with our expert advice, you'll always make the final decision on who rents your property.

Professional Inventories

Before any tenancy begins, Albany Lettings creates a detailed photographic inventory using independent third-party software. This professional record captures your property's full condition, from walls and flooring to furniture, appliances, and fittings.

A professional inventory is one of the most effective ways for Scottish landlords to:

  • Protect their property throughout the tenancy
  • Provide clear evidence in the event of a tenancy deposit dispute
  • Save time, stress, and costs at the end of a tenancy

The cost of an inventory will vary depending on property size and level of furnishing, but it is always a worthwhile investment in protecting your rental asset and ensuring full compliance with Scottish tenancy deposit protection regulations.

Tenant Deposits and Legal Protection

All tenants must pay a security deposit before moving in, typically equivalent to one month's rent. For HMOs or specific circumstances, a higher deposit may be required.

At Albany Lettings, we ensure full compliance with Scottish tenancy deposit protection laws by:

  • Lodging deposits with a Government-approved Tenancy Deposit Scheme
  • Issuing the Prescribed Information to tenants within 30 days
  • Keeping funds secure, transparent, and fully traceable for both landlords and tenants

This process safeguards your rental investment while protecting tenants' legal rights, giving both parties peace of mind throughout the tenancy.

Moving In: A Smooth Start for Tenants

On move-in day, Albany Lettings ensures the process is seamless and professional:

  • A final inspection confirms the property's condition
  • The tenant meets their dedicated Property Manager
  • The Tenant Handbook and property-specific guidance are explained in detail
  • Keys are handed over only once all legal and tenancy requirements are fully satisfied

This structured approach sets the right tone for the tenancy, giving tenants confidence while providing Scottish landlords with peace of mind and reassurance that their property is well managed from day one.
