Advertising on the UK’s top property portals, Rightmove and OnTheMarket, combined with the broad reach of social media, offers an unparalleled opportunity to connect with a vast pool of potential tenants. Leveraging these platforms ensures your property is seen by thousands of active renters, maximizing visibility and engagement to fill vacancies faster.
In today’s digital landscape, where platforms like Instagram and TikTok drive visual trends, your property’s kerb appeal is largely determined online.
An incredible 98% of tenants start their property search on the internet, and high-quality photos can be the key to grabbing their attention.
We believe every property deserves to shine, so we recommend professional photography to enhance its online presence. If needed, we can arrange this for you at an additional cost.
Adding a floor plan and video tour can further elevate your listing, giving prospective tenants a clear, inviting view of the space.
Good photos make a powerful first impression, setting a positive tone for viewings and boosting your chances of securing an ideal tenant. However, poor-quality images can have the opposite effect, with 90% of renters dismissing properties online before considering a viewing.
Don’t miss out on great tenants—let your property shine online.
A For Rent Board is a simple yet powerful way to increase your property’s visibility and attract local tenants who may not be actively searching online.
By displaying a clear, professional board outside the property, you tap into interest from passersby, neighbors, and word-of-mouth referrals. This traditional marketing tool complements online advertising and adds credibility, showing prospective tenants that the property is available through a reputable agent.
Our Home Let Only clients who are looking to maximize exposure, we can provide a For Rent Board, helping your property stand out to local renters.

The amount of deposit we collect varies from property to property and depending on your specific requirements. There are some situations we may collect a deposit equivalent to the monthly rent or we collect a deposit in excess of the monthly rent and in some circumstances the deposit maybe less. The maximum allowed in law is two times the monthly rent. We will agree with you the amount of deposit you want to secure.
All deposits received from tenants must be lodged with an approved Tenancy Deposit Scheme provider by law. We have chosen to lodge our deposits with SafeDeposits Scotland. We will ensure that this is done within the required timescales and that tenants receive the correct Prescribed Information.
When the tenancy ends we will organise and negotiate the end of tenancy dilapidation claims and deposit returns.
