As I head into my third year with Rettie, I’m thrilled to be representing our fantastic Lettings team here in the heart of South Edinburgh at our Morningside branch. This area holds a unique character and it’s a privilege to support property owners and tenants across such a diverse and dynamic rental market.

Edinburgh South continues to evolve as one of the most sought-after rental areas in the city. Whether it’s students settling in for the academic year, professionals looking for well-connected accommodation, or families seeking quality schools and green spaces, demand is strong - but it’s also nuanced and constantly shifting.

That’s why local knowledge truly matters. Understanding who’s renting, when, and why can make all the difference in securing the right tenancy and optimising rental returns. From seasonal trends to regulatory updates, it’s our job to help landlords stay one step ahead.

At Rettie, we bring together deep local expertise, up-to-date knowledge of legislation, and a commitment to exceptional service, all designed to ensure your property is well-managed and market-ready. Whether you’re an experienced landlord or just starting to explore the idea, we’re here to offer practical advice and honest insight.

Drop-In Fridays at Morningside

To make our support even more accessible, I’m now hosting weekly drop-in sessions every Friday at our Morningside office. These informal sessions are open to current landlords and anyone thinking about becoming a landlord. It’s a chance to ask questions, get advice, and tap into local market insights - no appointment necessary.

Whether you're wondering about recent legislation changes, seeking advice on buy-to-let opportunities, or just need a second opinion on your property plans, feel free to pop in for a coffee and a chat. Sometimes, a quick conversation can be the start of a great long-term strategy.

I’m excited about what’s ahead for the Edinburgh South Lettings team and proud to be part of a business that genuinely values both expertise and personal service. If you’re a landlord, or a landlord in the making, I’d love to meet you.
