Are you a landlord seeking reliable, hassle-free property management? At Abbey Forth we understand that managing rental properties can be time-consuming and stressful. Our expert team is here to help, offering a full suite of letting services designed to optimise your rental income while ensuring your property is looked after.
Why Choose Us?
Abbey Forth is a well-established letting agency, specialising in residential properties whether that is through our tenant find process or fully managed service.
Our belief is simple: when landlords maintain their properties to a good standard, this attracts long-term tenants, ensuring a steady rental income for our clients.
If you are new to letting your property, we will guide you through every step—from preparing your property for let, to ensuring full compliance with the relevant Scottish legislation. Our dedicated lettings team handles prospective tenants diligently, securing all necessary references before the property is offered. We create the private residential tenancy and all paperwork, manage the collection of rent, and supply you with detailed statements via our payment platform Payprop. Regular property inspections are carried out in line with the tenancy agreement to ensure your investment remains in excellent condition.
We have built strong relationships with reliable, experienced, and fully qualified tradespeople including plumbers, heating engineers, electricians, joiners, roofers, and other approved professionals, so you can be confident that all aspects of property maintenance are covered.
We will make arrangements for you to view the property accompanied by one of our viewing agents on a suitable day, including weekends where possible.
After your viewing, you will get the opportunity to apply for the property. We will ask you to complete an online application. We will send you and any other adult to be living in the property an application link via text and email using our application system ‘My rental CV’. If you already have a rental CV account we will send you a permission request link to view your CV. The application process will verify income, employment details/salary, obtain references from current landlords (if appropriate) and a credit report.
Satisfactory references will then be discussed with the landlord in order to select a new tenant.
We will notify all applicants if they have been successful or not.
The successful applicant(s) will be asked for a potential move in date. (Sufficient time must be allowed for the necessary safety checks and preparation of inventory to be carried out, usually 4-5 working days). We will send you a move in confirmation email which provide all the relevant details required for your move in, including all details for your payments, ID required, move in date and process.
Once your deposit is paid, we will email you your Tenancy Agreement and other documents for electronic signature before your move-in date. The first rent payment is due two days prior to your move-in day, and your deposit will be lodged with My Deposit Scotland for the duration of the tenancy. This deposit is held against any potential claims for damage, cleaning costs, unpaid bills, or rent arrears at the end of the tenancy.
An accredited external inventory company will conduct an inventory before your tenancy begins. You will receive a copy electronically before you move in, and you are required to return it with any comments within seven days of moving in. This inventory will be used to assess the condition of the property at the end of your tenancy.
We carry out inspections every three months to ensure the property is well-maintained. You will be notified in writing with a minimum of 48 hours’ notice before an inspection. There is no need for you to be present, as keys will be collected for the inspection.
Please arrange a standing order from your bank to ensure that your rent is paid on the 1st of each month, or earlier if preferred.
On your move-in day, a representative from Abbey Forth will meet you at the property to hand over the keys and walk you through important details, including safety checks, how to top up your boiler pressure, and the procedures for shutting off water and gas. You will be provided with two sets of keys, which must be returned at the end of your tenancy, along with emergency contact details for any urgent matters.
We look forward to making your experience a smooth and positive one.
