Renting through Rettie & Co.

paragraph

A Tenants Guide - The Rental Process

If you're renting a home for the first time, or haven't rented a property through Rettie before, this useful guide takes you through the process, from arranging a viewing to organising deposits and references and once your referencing has been approved, signing the lease and going through the inventory.
paragraph

Arranging a Viewing

We offer flexible daytime appointments and virtual viewings to fit around busy lives. Please note that many of our properties are advertised whilst tenants are still in situ, therefore it is advisable to contact us at least 48 hours before you wish to view, so that we can give our tenants plenty of notice. To arrange a viewing please get in touch with our team.
paragraph

Noting Interest - How to Apply

Once we have found the right property for you, the next stage in the process is to register your interest in the property. We require information on all potential tenants and gather all applications to send to the landlord. Once we get the owner's approval, we'll contact all applicants with the outcome of their decision. If you're unsuccessful, we'll retain your details for similar properties which suit your search criteria. You can provide us with this, so we are matching you with the most suitable properties.
paragraph

Deposits

The next step is to take a deposit from you in order to secure the property and take it off the market. If for any reason your tenancy doesn't proceed this deposit will be retruned to you. We'll ensure this is transferred to an approved tenancy deposit schemes (Rettie is required to do this within 30 days of the tenancy starting), where it will be held for the duration of the tenancy. Your deposit will be returned to you following our final inspection of the property when you vacate, subject to any agreed deductions.
paragraph
Referencing
We offer our landlords peace of mind by carrying out thorough referencing on all of our tenants before they move in. All our referencing is carried out by a registered referencing agency. The type of references we require depend on your individual circumstances, but our standard referencing procedure involves completing our application form and providing us with:

One form of photographic identification, such as a passport or driver's licence.

Two most recent monthly salary slips, or a letter from your employer confirming your position within the company and your salary.

Three years proof of address in the form of utility bills, bank statements, etc.

If you're self employed you'll need to provide three years of accounts, or your accountants contact details so that we can contact them directly.

If you don't meet the earning criteria, are a student, or if you have just relocated to Scotland and you've not secured employment yet, we're able to continue your application with a UK based guarantor. If you don't have a UK based guarantor, you may be asked to pay 6 months' rent upfront.
paragraph

Lease Signing

Once all the referencing has been approved, your lease will be emailed to you for e-signature. Your first month's rent will be due on or before the date of entry. This is usually paid by debit or credit card or bank transfer, in advance of you collecting your keys.
paragraph

Inventory

J.D Butterworth, Lister City Holdings Limited
Landlord Testimonial

"Rettie & Co. have been a fantastic agent for securing me with a great tenant and walking me through the process of renting out my property in Edinburgh. With a move overseas to manage, they have provided a 5 star service which has been hugely appreciated. Keep up the professional and personal service."

Alice Harbison, Landlord
Landlord Testimonial

"I recently bought a two bedroom flat in the city centre which required to be refurbished throughout. Rettie & Co. arranged for their contractors to estimate for the works to be carried out and upon my approval, refurbished the flat to a very high standard. Within a short period, Rettie & Co. had marketed the flat for let and found tenants. Excellent service."

Peter Young, Landlord
Landlord Testimonial

"Thanks for your help so far, one of the reasons we've gone for this property is because you've been so much more professional than any of the other letting agents we've seen, which has been a few."

David Armstrong, Landlord
Landlord Testimonial

"Thank you again for helping with finding a tenant- the Rettie & Co team always make the process a smooth one."

John, Landlord
Landlord Testimonial

"My family and I have been using Rettie & Co for many years to buy, sell and let properties, and I have always found them to be extremely professional and helpful at all times. I bought a property through their Sales Department and the Lettings Department then secured me a long-term corporate let for it. The process was very straightforward and I would have no hesitation in recommending Rettie & Co as a first port of call to anyone."

Angus Burt, Landlord
Landlord Testimonial

"I recently bought a two bedroom flat in the city centre which required to be refurbished throughout. Rettie and Co arranged for their contractors to estimate for the works to be carried out and upon my approval, refurbished the flat to a very high standard. Within a short period, Rettie and Co had marketed the flat for let and found tenants. Excellent service."

Peter Young, Landlord
Landlord Testimonial

"Can't fault Rettie service - from the start they were very helpful especially when dealing with them from the other side of the world! Also during our tenancy whenever there was an issue it was resolved. Thank you to Dawn and the rest of the Team at Retties for a job well done!"

Steven Gillman, Landlord
Landlord Testimonial

"My partner and I were looking for an estate agency to manage our property while living abroad. Ros Mills and the team at Rettie came highly recommended and have been amazing. They have managed everything down to the smallest detail, removing the stress of becoming landlords. We cannot express how much this has helped as moving countries is pretty stressful all on its own."

Annora Bennett, Landlord
Landlord Testimonial

"I have been renting out my properties through Retties for over 10 years and I can honestly say that they are an excellent agency. I want to commend particularly Iwona Wolinska who has managed my properties for the last 5 years. She is incredibly professional and always available. Her response time is swift and in many cases, she has already solved the problem by the time she replies.She is so dedicated to her job that sometimes I wonder if she takes any time off! Managing rental properties is mostly made up of problem solving and Iwona excels at this. Every repair, visit, maintenance or replacement is carried out quickly and efficiently giving me absolute peace of mind."

Martine Callaghan, Landlord
Landlord Testimonial

"We've been letting out our property with Rettie for the past 5 years and cannot recommend Rettie enough. We've had the same Rettie property manager (Iwona) over the period and she is highly competent, diligent and professional. The quality of service has been fantastic and she has a great friendly attitude. There have been a few minor issues with the property over the years and Rettie have dealt with them quickly and professionally, and they've also always managed to get new tenants quickly and at competitive rental rates. We've worked with other letting / property management agents before and it has been a nightmare; not the case with Rettie and it has been a pleasure working with them."

Alex Ratcliffe, Landlord

"I want to take this opportunity to express my delight in dealing with yourself, as you made the process from viewing to agreeing on the lease run extremely smooth with excellent communication from your side. We will definitely pop open the champagne tonight ..."

Frank, Tenant
Tenant Testimonial

"This was the first time we'd rented, coupled with the complication of linking it with a house sale, and move from Lincolnshire. While looking for a property we spoke with most rental agents in the Borders. Camilla at Rettie & Co proved to be the most helpful, efficient and professional in explaining, and carrying out the process. She was also supportive both before and after the move. I have no hesitation in recommending Rettie & Co as a first 'port of call' to anyone."

Tenant, Peeblesshire
Tenant Testimonial

"I would like to extend my thanks to Rettie & Co as a whole who I have found to be one of the more professional and efficient letting agents in Edinburgh. Rettie & Co demonstrated what strong commitments they have to customer service which is not always found in letting agents. Without a doubt I would highly recommend Rettie & Co to others having found this to be an extremely positive experience overall."

Richard Herschy, Tenant
Tenant Testimonial

Stephanie Lewis, Tenant
Tenant Testimonial

Felt reassured renting from them-reliable and professional. Would definitely recommend and hope to rent from them again in the future!"

Rose Zhong, Tenant
Tenant Testimonial

"When my wife and I moved to Edinburgh this one the first estate agency that we felt they cared about us. Looking for a rental can be hard -more every year maybe- but need to say that founding these people was like finding water in a desert after trying and trying. We'll come back there if we need to rent again, that is for sure."

Kevin Martos, Tenant
Tenant Testimonial

"I have had an incredible experience with Rettie & Co. I rented a property through this agency for 3 years. Throughout this time, I always received competent assistance from Rettie & Co staff on all matters. I would especially like to mention Iwona Wolinska, who was my property manager these 3 years. She is undoubtedly a model of professionalism and responsibility. Any question or problem was always resolved by her as quickly as possible and with care for the tenants. I greatly appreciated her personal approach and highly recommend Iwona Wolinska."
