Dove Davies have been specialising in residential letting and management since 1974. We have grown and developed into one of Edinburgh's leading firms. Our training as Chartered Surveyors with our wide-ranging experience as well as use of technology provide a consistently high level of service to clients. We specialise in the letting and management of property in and around Edinburgh.
We can provide a full spectrum of Buy-to-Let services, from the initial sourcing of a suitable property, project management of any upgrading including planning permission/building warrant work, through to soft furnishings, where appropriate. In order to let and manage a property there are a number of safety and compliance checks to be carried out.
We can arrange all of these on your behalf. From there we will market the property and fully vet any tenants prior to arranging for the tenancy agreement to be signed. There are many other items to be dealt with prior to the tenant taking entry - a fully documented inventory with photos, lodging the deposit to a Government-approved third party, transfer of utility providers, notification of council tax authority, etc.
