Frequently Asked Questions (for website visitors)

I’m a first-time landlord in Edinburgh — can you help me get set up? Yes. We regularly support first-time landlords, guiding you through the full process—from preparing the property and meeting legal requirements, to marketing, tenant selection, and setting up a compliant tenancy.

What services do you offer as a letting agent in Edinburgh? Your Nest Quest offers two services: Let-Only (find the right tenant and set up the tenancy) and Full Property Management (ongoing day-to-day management and tenant care).

What’s included in the Let-Only service? Let-Only includes advice on presenting your property, advertising, tenant vetting, lease preparation, guidance on legal and safety requirements, and a professional handover to the tenant.

What does Full Property Management cover? Full management includes everything in Let-Only, plus rent collection, maintenance coordination, compliance management, regular inspections, and ongoing tenant support.

How do you select tenants? We carefully vet applicants and focus on finding tenants who are a good match for your property—aiming for long-term stability and tenants who will treat the property as their home.

Do you help with Scottish rental law compliance? Yes. We provide clear, practical guidance on Scottish rental requirements and help ensure your letting is set up correctly and managed professionally.

How much do your letting services cost?

Let-Only: fee equivalent to one month’s rent

Full Property Management: 8% of the monthly rent

How many properties do you manage? We work with a select number of clients to deliver a boutique, attentive service with proactive communication.

Will I receive updates about my property? Yes. You can expect honest, transparent communication, with updates from inspections and prompt contact if anything needs your attention.

Do you handle maintenance and repairs? Yes—under Full Property Management, we coordinate maintenance and repairs using trusted contractors and keep you informed throughout.
