If you are a landlord, looking to be a landlord or want to switch over to us, we can help you.
We can source your tenants and manage your property. It’s important for us that landlords have good relationships with tenants and we do everything in our power to help manage these relationships. We also help with compliance to regulations for both residential and HMO properties.
We have a sliding scale of service dependent on your specific needs, so we can offer you full monthly management or let only and advert only, maintenance only or even a one-off inspection. We find that with HMO properties, often a more active tenant management is advised and a higher level of involvement, as the property may typically require more repairs than your standard residential let.
HMO Specialist Service
We have extensive experience with letting and managing HMO properties as well as developing conversions. We can even source you a property to let or buy. We know the opportunities to chase, the rules to comply with and the pitfalls to be avoided.
A HMO property, shared by three or more tenants who aren’t members of the same family, requires landlords to have a licence from the local authority in order for them to rent the property as a HMO. This ensures that the property is managed well and meets certain safety standards. A HMO licence is separate from the tenancy agreement you have with your tenants.
HMOs are subject to a large amount of legislation, which can be a minefield for a new owner or investor. This is where we can step in.
There are many rules and regulations to follow in order to be granted an HMO Licence and West End Letting can guide you through the whole process to ensure a full three year licence is issued. There will be visits at the property from the HMO Department as well as the local Fire Department. Both look for continual good property history and this is where we make a difference. We can arrange to visit the property and advise you on what is required. We can also arrange quotes from our trusted contractors for the work.

Your Financial Security Matters
We take a deposit from the tenants before the tenancy commences and we lodge it with Safe Deposits Scotland. We can also carry out a full inventory report of the property and its contents. We reference each tenant and guarantor so that we can ensure full rental payments throughout the tenancy.
And best of all? We are on hand for tenants 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year so we can guarantee that both they, and your property will be looked after and managed to the highest standard.
