Looking for help letting out your property in Edinburgh? HomeForce supports landlords with finding tenants and ongoing property management, with clear options depending on how much of the work you want to handle yourself.
Whether you need help getting a tenant in place or want us to manage the property day to day, our friendly Edinburgh team is here to help.
Using a letting agent can mean different things depending on how involved you want to be.
Some landlords are happy to manage the tenancy themselves but want help marketing the property and finding a tenant. Others would rather hand over the ongoing work too, including tenant communication, rent collection, maintenance and inspections.
HomeForce offers both options, so you can choose the level of support that suits you and your property.
We work with Edinburgh landlords including those renting out a property for the first time and people managing smaller portfolios.
Take Tenant Find if you only need help letting the property, or Full Management if you would rather the ongoing work was handled for you.
We market your property, arrange the viewings and carry out referencing so you can let with confidence.
Tenant communication, rent collection, inspections and maintenance coordination all sit within Full Management.
We work with landlords letting for the first time as well as owners looking after a handful of Edinburgh rentals.

Full Management is for landlords who would rather have HomeForce take care of the ongoing work as well.

Tenant Find is for landlords who want help getting their property let but are comfortable managing the tenancy themselves afterwards.
HomeForce markets your property, arranges viewings and carries out referencing to help you find a suitable tenant. Once the tenant is in place, you take over the ongoing management.
Best suited to: Landlords who want professional help at the letting stage but do not need ongoing property management.
Finding a tenant is one of the most important parts of letting out a property.
HomeForce can take care of the letting stage for you, helping to market the property, arrange viewings and carry out tenant referencing.
This can be particularly useful if you are letting a property for the first time or simply do not want to handle the initial search yourself.
Once a tenant has been found and the letting stage is complete, landlords using Tenant Find remain responsible for the ongoing management of the property.
From £550
Finding a tenant is only the start of a tenancy. Once someone moves in, there are ongoing jobs such as dealing with tenant communication, collecting rent, arranging maintenance and keeping an eye on the condition of the property.
HomeForce’s Full Management service takes care of that day-to-day work for landlords who would prefer not to manage everything themselves — for 11% of gross monthly rent.
We provide ongoing support and communication for tenants throughout the tenancy.
Rent collection forms part of the Full Management service.
When repairs are needed, we can coordinate maintenance and contractor access.
HomeForce carries out property inspections as part of ongoing management.
We keep you informed while taking care of the day-to-day property management.
It is completely normal to have questions when you become a landlord for the first time.
You may be trying to work out what needs to happen before the property is let, how you will find a tenant and whether you want to manage everything yourself once someone moves in.
HomeForce regularly supports first-time landlords and can talk you through the options available.
If you only need help finding a tenant, Tenant Find may suit you. If you would rather have ongoing support once the tenancy begins, Full Management takes care of the day-to-day work too.
Letting out a property in Scotland comes with responsibilities that landlords need to stay on top of.
HomeForce provides compliance support for Edinburgh landlords, helping with landlord responsibilities and the requirements affecting rental properties.
For landlords using Full Management, this sits alongside the ongoing management of the tenancy, maintenance and property inspections.
If you are new to letting and unsure where to start, your free landlord consultation is also an opportunity to talk through the support available.
Maintenance is part of managing any rental property, and it can quickly become time-consuming if you have to arrange contractors and access yourself.
For properties under Full Management, HomeForce can coordinate maintenance and arrange contractor access when work is needed.
For landlords who manage their own tenancy but still need someone local to hold keys and provide agreed access, HomeForce also offers a separate Key Holding service.
HomeForce focuses on personal property management for landlords who want clear communication and practical support with their Edinburgh rental property.
We work with landlords at different stages, including people renting out their first property, landlords with smaller portfolios and property owners who live away from Edinburgh.
You can choose the support you actually need rather than automatically handing over the whole tenancy. Tenant Find is available if you only want help with the letting stage, while Full Management is there if you would rather have the ongoing work handled too.
HomeForce is a registered Scottish letting agent under Letting Agent Registration Number LARN2504004.

WHAT OUR LANDLORDS & TENANTS SAY
“As a first-time landlord, I have been greatly reassured by HomeForce’s excellent communication and attention to detail. Friendly, helpful and professional throughout.”
Landlord
"HomeForce have been first class. Responsive to both me as landlord and the tenants, pro-active and with a large supply of contractors for addressing any household issues. It takes a lot of the stress and time out of renting your property out and I highly recommend."
Tenant
"I have relied on HomeForce to manage my Newtown flat for many years. They are efficient, reliable and provide me with peace of mind as I am not based in Edinburgh. I would highly recommend them."
Landlord
"I have full confidence in HomeForce. They exceed what they promise in looking after my property and appear to do so by taking great care of my tenants. They are personable, efficient and practical. I highly recommend their service to anyone."
Landlord
"Myself and wife got an apartment from HomeForce. Excellent people, we had Emily and Gavin managing the property and they made our stay memorable. Repairs done on time and checks reasonable spaced. Moving out was smooth when we needed a bigger space. Very highly recommended."
Tenant
"We definitely had a positive experience with HomeForce. The flat was in excellent condition when we moved in. Unlike some ads for rental properties the photos were a true representation of the reality. We’ve always had quick responses from HomeForce over repairs or any questions or concerns. If we could we’d pick up the flat and HomeForce and take them with us!"
Tenant
"As tenants of HomeForce for 7 years I can’t speak highly enough of the professional, friendly service provided by Gavin, Karen and the team. We always felt they had our best interests at heart, responding quickly to questions and resolving issues speedily and with no fuss. The best agency we’ve ever used and we would have no hesitation in recommending them to other tenants or landlords."
Tenant
"Just wanted to say a massive “thank you” for allowing us to stay at East Claremont Street. We have loved it and you have, quite frankly been a great landlord / agent – not often you can say that. We appreciated how quickly you sorted things out for us and just made it feel like our home."
Tenant
"I have used HomeForce’s Full Service package since 2010 and it’s the best investment I could make in renting out my property in Edinburgh. HomeForce provide a friendly and very efficient service and undertake all issues and challenges that come with property rental, from marketing to maintenance. They always go the extra mile: I can’t fault them and would recommend them (and have) without hesitation."
