Why Landlords Choose ELC

Letting a property comes with ongoing responsibilities. ELC helps landlords manage the practical side of renting, from getting a property ready to let through to tenant management and ongoing property support.
Local Property Knowledge

With more than 20 years in the Edinburgh property market, we understand local rental demand, property types and the areas we operate in.

Professional Property Marketing

We use professional property presentation and established rental portals to put properties in front of prospective tenants.

Clear, Transparent Fees

Our fees and additional charges are clearly set out, so landlords can understand what they are paying for and what each service includes.

HMO & Compliance Support

From HMO licensing and property preparation to landlord safety requirements, we provide access to specialist support for the compliance responsibilities that come with letting property.

Intelligent Repairs & Compliance

Keeping a rental property compliant can involve more than arranging individual certificates. Keeping a rental property compliant means staying on top of inspections, certificates and safety requirements. Through Intelligent Repairs, ELC landlords can access specialist support for property safety certification and compliance. Services include EICR, PAT testing, Gas Safety Certificates, EPCs, Legionella Risk Assessments, fire equipment inspections, emergency lighting inspections, fire risk assessments, lead water testing and sprinkler inspections, depending on the property requirements. Where an inspection identifies further work, the service can also help coordinate the required compliance work and associated remedial requirements.

I am a landlord and have used ELC for 8 years. I have only had good experiences and outcomes using them as they are quick and professional and always helpful. Joseph Nixon is my current agent and he has been terrific. ELC's service is also extremely good value for money. I strongly recommend ELC!

I honestly can’t thank Edinburgh Letting Centre enough for their support and communication throughout my tenancy. A special mention has to go to Rheshi, who has been absolutely amazing. From the very beginning, they’ve kept me updated on every request and issue quickly and clearly, and their communication has been outstanding throughout. What’s meant the most is the kindness, patience, and understanding they’ve shown during what has been quite a difficult time for me personally. It’s rare to come across someone who is not only professional and efficient, but also genuinely compassionate and supportive. I’m incredibly grateful for all of the help and reassurance I’ve received, and I truly hope to have many more years with Edinburgh Letting Centre. Thank you again, especially to Rheshi, for going above and beyond.

Karen was absolutely fantastic when I needed help with a leak at my property. Even though everything was handled over the phone, she responded incredibly quickly and guided me through the situation with real professionalism and efficiency. She was friendly, reassuring, and clearly very knowledgeable, explaining everything in a way that was easy to understand. What really stood out was how approachable and kind she was throughout—it made a stressful situation so much easier to deal with. Thanks to her clear advice and support, the issue was sorted quickly and smoothly. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Karen to anyone in need of reliable, prompt, and genuinely caring service.

Very positive experience. Callum was lovely and answered all of our questions and what to expect throughout the application process.
Called ELC with some questions to assist my daughter when she is ready to start looking for a rental property. Very helpful and informative discussion with Fraser at ELC, who was able to answer my questions fully and freely offered up further information to assist us further.

Nicole was highly professional, was already at the avenue before the scheduled viewing time. She was very receptive and willing to answer all my queries to the best of her ability. Thank you Nicole, though I won’t be going forward with that particular property due to the location but I would be very grateful to view any similar property within Edinburgh.

Alex and Calum at ELC have been a wonderful source of support and advice over the last few months and I am delighted with my decision to work with them. As a first time landlord, they have both gone above and beyond in guiding me through the process, keeping me up to date and making sure everything that needed to be done has gone as smoothly as possible. I am very impressed with their attention to detail and how each stage has been handled. I look forward to continuing our business relationship and can highly recommend ELC for any future landlord looking for a management service.
