HALLS OF SHAME

With recent figures published under the Freedom Of Information Act showing that in the past 5 years, over £600,000 worth of damage has been caused by students within Scotland's 21 Halls of Residence, it is little wonder that student tenants often receive such a bad press!

Here at Martin & Co Edinburgh, our experience of student tenants couldnt be more different. We find almost without exception that where Landlords offer good quality property which is well equipped and located in the most popular areas for student living, with proactive management, the scare stories and worst fears of property owners really are a thing of the past! Many Landlord clients offering property to students in Edinburgh receive some of the highest rents achieved and experience minimal, if any, void periods with parents of student off-spring willing to pay a premium, in the knowledge that their children are housed in safe, comfortable and well maintained & managed accommodation. If you already own property or are considering a buy to let  investment, we would be delighted to assist you with advice on all aspects of property preparation, marketing & management.

For those students turning attention to accommodation after life in University Halls or seeking a new flat and parents potentially weighing up the option between property purchase or rental, take a look at the link to Martin & Co Student Homes http://www.martinco.com/student_homes or call us on 0131 447 4337.
