Glasgow Letting: New Landlords, Read This Discover everything you need to know about Glasgow letting for first-time landlords. Perhaps you’ve moved in with a partner and you don’t want to sell your property. Or maybe you’ve had to relocate temporarily for work and you want to hang on to your investment. Either way, if you’re thinking of letting out your Glasgow property for the first time, this one’s for you. Here, we lay out the steps you need to take before you become a landlord, and what you need to do once you’ve found your tenants. New to Glasgow letting? What you need to do before renting out your home One of the first things you need to do before you rent out your home is to make sure your mortgage lender allows it. You’ll need to ask for “consent to let” (which is typically for a set amount of time) or you may need to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage. Otherwise, you run the risk of breaching your mortgage contract, and this could result in your lender demanding instant repayment of the full mortgage balance. Next, you’ll need to contact your insurance provider and amend your policy to include landlord insurance. Having tenants living in your property can affect your liability. You must also register as a private landlord with the Scottish Landlord Register. Everyone named on the title deeds must do so. Failure to register is a criminal offence and can result in a fine. You can register as a landlord here. Finally, if you’re planning on renting to three or more unrelated people, this will be classed as a house of multiple occupancy (HMO). HMOs require an additional licence. Learn more about Glasgow HMOs here. What you need to do once you’ve secured your tenants There’s a lot of responsibility that comes with being a landlord. If you’d rather take a hands-off approach, working with a local property management company (like Cairn) can be a big help. Learn more about our management services here. If you want to be a DIY landlord, you’ll first need to Conduct all viewings of the property Conduct referencing off all tenants Take deposit and move in funds from tenants Ensure all compliance is in place for the tenants move in (safety certificates / maintenance / cleaning) Conduct inventory Create the correct tenancy agreement and ensure all parties sign this Meet with your tenants and give them a tour of the property. Show them how to switch off the electricity, how to reset a blown fuse, and how to switch off the water supply in an emergency — plus anything else specific to your property. Once you’ve received your tenant’s deposit, you’ll need to place it into a Tenancy Deposit Scheme within 30 working days of the start of the tenancy. You should also notify your tenant in writing which scheme is holding their deposit. Finally, you should notify local authority & the properties utility providers that a tenant is moving in (and that you no longer live there) so that the Council Tax account & Energy accounts can be updated. You should also let your tenant know that you’ve done this. Throughout the tenancy: Respond to reactive maintenance / emergency out of hour issues (weekends and evenings) Conduct periodic inspections of the property Handle tenant complaints Neighbour complaints Collect rent / chase rent if in arrears At the end of the tenancy: Conduct move out inspection Handle deposit deductions / deposit disputes Re-advertise the property and start the process all over again If this seems like too much to handle we have friendly and qualified staff here at Cairn ready to help you with the management of your property. Whether it was accidental or on purpose, if you’re dipping your toe into the world of Glasgow letting as a landlord, Cairn can help. We can look after everything to make sure you remain compliant and your tenant enjoys a safe and happy experience. Contact us here to learn more.

Why We’re the Best Glasgow Letting Agents for Students

Why We’re the Best Glasgow Letting Agents for Students Are you looking for Glasgow letting agents for students? Here are three reasons why we’re the best around. Glasgow is ranked first in Scotland, fourth in the UK, and 39th in the world when it comes to the best student cities — and it’s easy to see why. With an impressive mix of students, world-renowned universities, historic landmarks, breathtaking architecture, friendly locals, and vibrant, contemporary culture, Scotland’s biggest city is hard to beat. If you’re moving to Glasgow to further your education, you’ve made a great choice. But you’re going to need somewhere to rest your head after a day of lectures (or a night in the student union). That’s where we come in. Cairn has been helping students rent in Glasgow since 1999, and we can help you, too. Here are three reasons why we’re the best Glasgow letting agents for students. Why We’re the Best Glasgow Letting Agents for Students 1. Helping Student Tenants from Day One Some estate & letting agents in Glasgow won’t take on student tenants. That’s not our style. We love helping students take that first exciting step towards living away from home. We also appreciate that it can be a bit daunting, to begin with. That’s why we’re always on hand to advise if there’s ever anything you’re unsure about. On our website, you’ll find a few handy “how-tos” (here), and we make it super simple for you to report a repair in your property. 2. HMO Experts Moving to an HMO property as a student makes a lot of sense. You get to split the bill three, four, or five ways (or more, depending on the size of the property), and it gives you a chance to meet and live with new people. But not all HMOs are made equal. As HMO experts, we make sure the properties on our watch are fully-licensed, inspected regularly, and safe for student occupancy. Read more about our approach to HMOs here: Cairn: HMO Specialists in Glasgow. 3. Proudly Local Our Glasgow office is based on Gibson Street, a stone’s throw from the stunning grand main building of Glasgow University. We think having that local presence is vital — you don’t want to deal with agents located two towns over. Rather, you should be able to pick up the phone and pop by for a chat if required. We also know the city like the back of our hands. If you’re unfamiliar with Glasgow, our localised team of letting agents can help you figure out the best place to rent in relation to your campus, taking class times and public transport into account. Cairn: Your Glasgow Letting Agents Whether you’re moving at the start of term time or while classes are in full swing, we can help you find the right student flat in Glasgow for you.

Landlords – we take referencing seriously!

Landlords – we take referencing seriously! At Cairn we pride ourselves on our strict and comprehensive referencing processes. Protecting our landlords from potential fraud risks or tenants that do not meet our criteria is a top priority at Cairn Letting. As COVID-19 has introduced further complications for landlords, we will make sure you are fully updated with new legislation and facts regarding the changes to Government Legislation. We have a highly experienced Compliance Manager and our Property Managers are all Fully Qualified, holding certificates with Letwell and ARLA who will ensure you are protected and can support you with any difficult situations you find yourself in whilst letting out your property. Please find a list of the referencing documents we ask prospective tenants for in order to fully protect our landlords: Credit check – We feel this is crucial in obtaining the correct tenant for our client and allows us to validate if they are suitable for the tenancy Two Proofs of Address – This is important in order to ensure the potential tenants are who they say they are along with a copy of photographic ID National Insurance Number Check residence status – For overseas tenants we ask to see a copy of their visa or residence permit to ensure that they are entitled to be in the UK. Check for previous First-tier Tribunal for Scotland (Housing and Property Chamber) eviction and civil proceeding decisions against the tenant on the tribunal’s website here. Cairn always look into the detail of any case as sometimes the tenant will not be at fault. Employer/pension provider/accountant reference – this will detail their job title, contract duration and/or annual income. Last 3 months pay slips – This is a further procedure to check their current job role and salary is correct For students, we ask for a letter from their university confirming their student status. For students funded/paid by an organisation or government, we ask for evidence of paid income or funding for living expenses . Landlord reference – if the tenant has lived in rental accommodation in the past then we will obtain a reference from their former landlord/letting agent. This will state the tenancy dates, monthly rent due, details of any arrears, whether the property was kept clean and tidy, whether deductions were made from their deposit and whether there were any problems with anti-social behaviour or other breaches of the tenancy terms. If a potential tenant does not meet our affordability checks we will ask if they can provide a guarantor. A guarantor is a person who agrees to pay the rent if the tenant fails to do so. You may also choose to ask for a guarantor if the prospective tenant hasn’t rented before, doesn’t have a regular source of income or you have any other concerns about their ability to pay the rent. For student applications we ALWAYS ask for a guarantor.

A Short Guide to Letting in Edinburgh

A Short Guide to Letting in Edinburgh Interested in letting in Edinburgh? Here’s what you need to know. With Edinburgh property as sought after as ever, buy-to-let opportunities haven’t lost their appeal. Average rents are up 39% in the past ten years according to ESPC, demonstrating the fantastic long-term investment potential the rental market offers. If you’re a first-time landlord, read our short guide to letting Edinburgh properties. 4 Things You Need to Do When Letting in Edinburgh 1. Register your rental property Before you can let out your property, you’ll need to register with the City of Edinburgh Council. Since this is a legal requirement, failing to do so could land you in hot water. You could even face a £50,000 fine in some cases. To register as a landlord, visit the Scottish Landlord Register website or contact your local housing department. 2. Understand your responsibilities Letting out your rental property isn’t a simple case of finding tenants and pocketing the rent each month. As a landlord, you have a wide array of responsibilities you’ll need to carry out to ensure you comply with the law. This includes creating tenancy agreements, securing deposits in a tenancy deposit scheme, and arranging Energy Performance Certificates (EPC). You must also take steps to ensure your tenants are safe while living in your property, such as annual fire safety, electrical safety, and gas safety checks. 3. Market your property Don’t underestimate the importance of marketing your rental property when letting in Edinburgh. There are many properties available for rent in the capital, and yours must stand out from the crowd to stand a chance. Although it can be tempting to skip the marketing process to save money, it’s essential when it comes to finding quality tenants who can be relied upon to pay rent on time each month. A local letting agent can market your property using various methods, making sure it’s visible and appealing to as many prospective tenants as possible. 4. Carry out repairs quickly When letting in Edinburgh, you may have to carry out repairs in your rental property. You need to ensure the property meets two sets of standards: the Repairing Standard and the Tolerable Standard. Always carry out repairs in a reasonable amount of time. What is considered “reasonable” depends on the type of repair. If the problem makes the property unsafe, you’ll need to get it fixed as quickly as possible. However, many landlords either don’t have time or live too far away to make or manage repairs to their properties. Fortunately, if you choose a fully managed letting service, your agent can arrange the repairs on your behalf. Letting in Edinburgh with Cairn Property Edinburgh remains one of the best cities in the UK for buy-to-lets. Not only does it have a growing population and a thriving economy with over 50,000 businesses, but it also has six universities, making it ideal if you want to let out your property to students.

How to Choose Letting Agents in Glasgow

How to choose letting agents in Glasgow Looking for letting agents in Glasgow to help rent your properties? Here are our top tips. With the demand for rental properties in Glasgow greater than ever, there’s never been a better time to buy-to-let here. However, rather than letting out your property yourself and running into problems down the line, it makes sense to work with a reputable local letting agency. Read on to find out how to choose letting agents in Glasgow. 6 Tips For Choosing Letting Agents In Glasgow 1. Assess their local property knowledge There may be hundreds of letting agents advertising their services in Glasgow, but how many of them have expert local property knowledge? When you choose a letting agent with experience in renting similar properties in your area, you can expect them to deliver the expert advice you need to make your investment a success. Focus on finding agents who know the area well. Not only can they be relied upon to value your property accurately, but they’ll also be on hand to carry out viewings in person. 2. Evaluate their marketing methods Marketing is crucial for finding the right tenants for your rental property — it’s essential to find letting agents in Glasgow who place significant focus on it. Find out what methods they use to market properties, taking a close look at how well they’re listed online. Have they used enticing visuals and video that gives them the edge over other properties? Do their properties stand out from the crowd? If so, there’s a good chance that particular letting agency can do the same for your property. 3. Consider your requirements When choosing letting agents in Glasgow, you’ll need to consider your requirements carefully. Do you need a fully managed service or will a let-only service do? If you’re an inexperienced or time-short landlord, a fully managed service could be the best option. This means your agent will handle everything on your behalf, from finding tenants to dealing with repairs and disputes. However, if you’re prepared to manage the tenancy yourself and only want your agent to find tenants for you, a let-only service may be more appropriate. Take some time to think about how much time and expertise you have to commit to your buy-to-let investment in Glasgow. 4. Check reviews and testimonials Online reviews are worth their weight in gold when it comes to choosing a letting agency in Glasgow. They let you read honest and impartial feedback from people who’ve already used the company’s services. Scouring the internet for reviews and testimonials can help you to find a reputable letting agent with a proven track record for managing rental properties in the city. 5. Credentials & LARN Always ensure a Letting agency is registered, each professional agency has a LARN number and that should be on display and available on request. By law, all agencies must use a tenant deposit scheme ie Safe Deposit Scotland, look out for how your chosen letting agent deals with disputes, ideally disputes are settled through third tier tribunal processes. Investing in agency staff is also an important tell tale sign, look for an agency that demonstrate qualified, fully trained staff – these can often be recognised through the credibility of having a SAL or ARLA accreditation. 6. Knowledge is key It is important to ask questions to ensure the letting agent appointed is knowledgeable with current legislation and procedures. Consider asking questions like ‘how do you reference tenants?’, ‘how do you check that my property is being looked after throughout a tenancy?’, ‘how to you handle tenant arrears?’, ‘how do you manage maintenance?’, ‘how do you handle tenant evictions?’, ‘do you have any experience with the First-tier Tribunal?’, ‘Can you help me with my HMO license?’. Having an experienced and knowledgeable letting agent will ensure that you have the best support possible when difficult situations arise in your rental property.

Switching Letting Agents in Glasgow: Advice for Landlords

Switching Letting Agents in Glasgow: Advice for Landlords Are you a landlord thinking of switching letting agents in Glasgow? Read on for some advice from Cairn. Expensive maintenance charges. Substandard repairs. Poor communication. Late rent payments. And every time you call, it’s someone different on the other end of the line — and they don’t know you or your property. As a landlord, the last thing you need is a letting agent mismanaging your property. If the above sounds familiar, it could be time for a change. And despite some common misconceptions, switching letting agents is easier than you think. Moving Letting Agents in Glasgow: Common Misconceptions Many landlords see changing letting agents as a hassle they can live without, so they stay loyal to an agency, even if they’re not meeting expectations. Others think they need to wait until the property is empty before switching, while some simply don’t see the point in moving. After all, a letting agent is a letting agent, right? Wrong. Let’s deal with these misconceptions, one by one: 1. “I have to wait until the end of the tenancy before changing agents.” This isn’t true. The Tenancy Agreement is between you (the landlord) and your tenant. The agency has been hired to manage your property — switching agents won’t impact the agreement. In fact, it’s often easier to change agents with a tenant in place, as it means the new agent can take over the management of the property without the additional need to advertise and place a new tenant. 2. “Every Glasgow letting agent is the same; there’s no point in switching.” Most letting agents provide similar services. However, the way in which these services are delivered can vary from one agent to the next. Think of it like having a favourite coffee shop, even though you can get a coffee almost anywhere. There’s more to it than simply getting what you asked for. Likewise, the very best letting agents in Glasgow are doing more than making sure rent is collected on time. They’re fully regulated, understand the legislation involved, prioritise quality customer service, and offer professional and reliable communication at all times. 3. “Moving to a new letting agent is more fuss than it’s worth.” Switching from an underperforming agent to one who values a strong working relationship and cares for your property and its tenants is absolutely worth the fuss — if it can even be considered “fuss” in the first place! In reality, there’s little you need to do in order to switch. Beyond giving your current agent written notice that you plan to leave, your new agent will handle everything on your behalf. Case in point… Switching Letting Agents in Glasgow (It’s Easier Than You Think) At Cairn, we make switching simple. From liaising with your current agent to communicating with your tenant(s), we take care of every last detail, including: The acquisition of a detailed handover from your current agent. This will include information related to rent arrears, payment plans, planned maintenance, and outstanding tenant requests; The transfer and recording of the latest safety certificates; The transfer of all keys, up-to-date inventory, and the current lease agreement (if applicable); And the provision of a new point of contact and updated bank details for rent payments to your tenant(s). You are appointed a property manager so you are dealing with one point of contact. Our qualified and experienced property managers conduct audits on documents sent to us to ensure that all legal responsibilities are met and the landlords interests are protected.
