Nicky Lloyd, Head of the ESPC Lettings breaks down answers to frequently asked questions surrounding the Scottish letting market.
How many years of experience in the property sector do you have?
“I have been working in lettings for about 18 years. I’ve worked at several city centre lettings agents before landing my role as Head of Lettings at ESPC Lettings nearly a decade ago.”
Why should a tenant or landlord choose ESPC Lettings?
“I love to hear from our landlords and tenants about how much they appreciate the relationship they have with the team. Our communication and hands-on service means they never feel like a number and can benefit from a personal service. Every member of the team will have visited the property, spoken to the landlord and to the tenant. Building relationships with our clients is a key part of the ESPC Lettings ethos.”
What service can I expect from the ESPC Lettings?
“At ESPC Lettings we’re here to help you every step of the way and provide all the assistance you will need in preparing your property, securing great tenants to managing your property throughout the tenancy.”
How does ESPC Lettings support landlords and tenants?
“For landlords we offer a transparent fee structure, a proactive approach to maintenance and clear and continued communication. For tenants we make sure that we are available 24/7 to them for making their tenancy runs as smoothly as possible.”
What should I consider before I let out my property?
“Make sure the figures stack up and be prepared for all eventualities.”
Where are the top property investments areas in Edinburgh?
“If you’re a buy-to-let investor, always make your decision to purchase based on the figures. The current top performing investment areas are New Town and Stockbridge, especially for one-bedroom properties, as well as Newhaven, Granton, and South Gyle.”
What are your predictions for the letting market in 2026?
“Demand will always remain strong in the city, and I expect the trend of one-bedroom properties being the most popular will continue. I think we will see rents start to settle to more normal levels after rent hikes post Covid.
Hopefully, there is now more clarity on the proposals from The Scottish Government we’ll see more new investment landlords entering the sector.”
