Letting agents and property management in Edinburgh
RentLocally is a family-run Scottish letting business, and Swanston Road is our home base. If you own a property in Edinburgh, you can speak to the people who will actually look after it.
Rental valuation
What a valuation actually tells you.
A rental valuation is a realistic view of what your property could let for, based on the home itself and the Edinburgh market around it. It is a starting point for planning, not a promise of a particular rent.
How Edinburgh valuations work- 01
Tell us about the property
Address, type, bedrooms, condition and when it might be available. Photos help if you have them.
- 02
We look at it locally
We consider the property alongside the Edinburgh rental market and similar homes, and may suggest a visit.
- 03
You get a realistic view
A rental figure you can plan around, plus anything worth preparing before marketing.
- 04
Choose the service, in writing
If you want to go ahead, the service scope and fees are set out in a written quotation before anything is agreed.
Service options
Decide which work you want to keep.
Three ways to work with us. The exact scope and fees for your property are confirmed in a written quotation before you agree to anything.
Let Only
We work through to check-in, then hand over
From rental assessment and marketing through applications, checks, tenancy paperwork and check-in. You manage the ongoing tenancy.
Fully Managed
Continues through the tenancy
From rental assessment and marketing through tenant selection, check-in and the ongoing tenancy, including rent, inspections, maintenance coordination and check-out.

Thinking about switching.
- 01Check your existing agreement first, including the notice period and any terms about ending it.
- 02Gather what you hold: the tenancy agreement, deposit details, safety certificates and recent correspondence.
- 03Talk to us about what a handover usually involves. Timings and any costs with your current agent depend on that agreement, so we will not guess at them.

Landlord questions
Straight answers.
General information, not legal advice. See mygov.scot landlord guidance for current requirements.
Does requesting a rental valuation commit me to anything?
Asking for a valuation does not commit you to using RentLocally. If you decide to go ahead, the service scope and fees are confirmed in a written quotation first.
How are your fees worked out?
Fees depend on the service you choose and the property. We set them out in a written quotation so you can see exactly what is and is not covered before agreeing.
I already have a letting agent. Can I switch?
Usually, but start by checking your current agreement for notice periods and any terms about ending the arrangement. We can talk through what records and tenancy information a handover typically needs. We cannot promise how quickly it will happen or what it will cost with your current agent.
What should I have ready before asking for a valuation?
The address or postcode and whether the property is vacant, let or being prepared are enough to start. Bedrooms, furnishing, recent work and your preferred letting date make the first conversation more useful. Our rental valuation guide has a short checklist.
Do you cover areas outside the city?
The Edinburgh office also works with landlords in East Lothian, West Lothian, Forth Valley and the Scottish Borders. If another RentLocally office is closer, we will point you to it.
What do I need to have in place before letting?
Requirements such as landlord registration, safety certificates and deposit protection depend on the property and how it is let. We can explain what typically applies, and you should check current official guidance. This is general information, not legal advice.
