Landlord Services in Edinburgh

From finding a tenant to managing the tenancy, ELC offers landlord services built around your property and the level of support you need.

Once your tenant moves in, you’re in full control to manage.

We Find the Tenant. You Manage the Tenancy.

Happy managing your tenants, collecting rent and looking after the property yourself? What you may not want is the time-consuming work of finding the next tenant.

That’s where ELC can help.

Our Tenant Find service for Edinburgh landlords covers the initial letting process, giving you professional support when you need it while keeping you in control of the tenancy.

Want us to manage the property after the tenant moves in too?

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in your Tenant Find service?

Our Tenant Find service covers the initial letting process, from rental valuation and property marketing through to tenant enquiries, viewings, independent referencing and tenancy setup.

Does ELC manage my property after finding a tenant?

No. Tenant Find is for landlords who want to manage their property themselves once the tenant moves in. If you’d like us to manage the property throughout the tenancy, our Full Property Management service provides ongoing support.

Who deals with repairs?

You manage maintenance and repairs once the Tenant Find service has ended, unless you’ve arranged an additional service with us.

Does ELC prepare the tenancy agreement?

Yes. We’ll prepare the tenancy agreement, manage the signing process and serve the appropriate notices where required.

Can I move to Full Property Management later?

Yes. If you decide you’d prefer us to manage the property after your tenant has moved in, talk to us about our Full Property Management service.
