find that this is one of the lowest in Edinburgh or Fife.

Marketing – The property letting
market is very competitive. We will promote your property

provide a network covering the whole City and Fife.

hour maintenance service.
Gas and electricity - There is legislation
covering gas and electric systems appliances within rented
properties. We will advise on how best to comply with

hand. This includes access to the ESPC database.
