Letting agents in Scotland

Citylets currently advertises the portfolios of over 200 Scottish letting agents across the country. Between them and our database of hundreds of private landlords, we advertise over 25,000 properties a year - a great start to your search for your ideal rented property.

Letting agents are professional organisations that manage the rented properties of private landlords. Their day-to-day business covers a wide range of services from:

• Advertising the property
• Tenant viewings, enquiries and reference checking
• Deposit and rent management
• Dispute management
• Legal advice
• Maintenance

Letting agents will charge the landlord for their services - usually a percentage of the monthly rental value of the property. Letting agents may also charge tenants an admin fee for managing their details, such as reference and credit checking and managing their deposit. They may also charge a holding fee which is a percentage of the tenants deposit to ensure that the property is secured for them.

Letting agents often come under the same branch as an estate agent, due to the nature of their services, however many agents deal exclusively with residential lettings. Letting agents often have particular expertise of their surrounding local area and will be able to give general advice on the rental market - alternatively, refer to the Citylets Property Rental Report
