Over the last 3 months we have seen a rise in demand for well presented HMO flats with good facilities and in many cases that ‘must have’ separate lounge. There has also been a notable increase in the number of larger flats available therefore increasing the need to keep your property in its best ‘ready to let’ condition. Students paying top rent will always opt first for a well maintained and attractive flat leaving the ‘tired’ accommodation to be picked up by the stragglers and students on lower budgets. Having a good inventory with digital images also helps keep track of general wear and tear within the property and allows for a clearer understanding between the landlord and tenants at the beginning and end of a tenancy.

Our window displays have been a real talking point this year with tenants and locals complimenting us on our new advertising campaign throughout the summer period. Using bespoke pop art images and carefully crafted themes we approached our 2011 window adverts with a view to highlighting our unique HMO letting service whilst attracting our target clientele-the students of Edinburgh. The current favourite being the Goldilocks made for sharing image. We are looking for new ideas all the time with the focus on changing our marketing campaigns to suit the market and season.
