Our ethos is simple: if we wouldn't want to live in it, why should we ask anyone else to. This commitment shines through in the quality of our properties and the attentive service we offer.

Based in the heart of Glasgow's vibrant West End on Byres Road, our office allows us to be conveniently accessible to all our clients. Under the expert guidance of Ronnie Carpenter, Managing Director and a highly experienced professional with over 40 years in the property business, we ensure meticulous attention to detail in every aspect of our service.

Our Services

We offer a comprehensive range of services covering all aspects of residential lettings and property management in the West End of Glasgow and Strathkelvin.

From pre-let advice to full management packages, our dedicated team is here to support you every step of the way. We begin by offering tailored pre-let advice to Landlords, including a realistic assessment of the likely market rent, guidance on target tenants, and up-to-date legal and compliance information to ensure a smooth and successful letting process.

For those seeking a complete hands-free solution, we offer a "buy-to-rent" package. This includes expert funding advice, recommendations on suitable investments, and assistance with furnishing the property, making it a seamless journey from purchase to profitable let.

Our full comprehensive property management service is designed to take the hassle out of being a landlord. We visit your property to discuss your needs and the current market conditions, advising on appropriate rental values and any necessary preparations for letting. We then launch a targeted marketing campaign, leveraging our extensive network and digital presence to attract suitable tenants.

Once a tenant is found, we handle all the formalities, including reference checks, the preparation of detailed inventories, schedule of condition reports, and the timely serving of all required Housing Act notices. We also ensure all legal documents are submitted to your lender and notify all relevant utilities of the tenancy changeover.

With a lease in place, we seamlessly manage all aspects of the tenancy, collecting rent, pursuing any arrears, and ensuring all legal responsibilities are met. You can trust us to handle repairs and maintenance, adhering to a pre-agreed spending limit and seeking your approval for any major works. We conduct regular inspections to maintain the property's condition and ensure our management standards are upheld.

At the end of the tenancy, we carefully oversee the inventory checkout, ensuring all agreed dilapidations are addressed and settled with the tenant before returning their deposit.
