Thinking of Changing Agent?

Over the past few years, the Scottish rental market has undergone significant consolidation, with many small to medium-sized letting agencies being acquired by larger corporate firms. While this has created economies of scale for these larger entities, it has also left a number of landlords feeling increasingly isolated. Personal relationships that once existed have often been replaced with generic service models, and many landlords report that their concerns are no longer being heard or acted upon. The most common frustration we hear is the lack of a clear point of contact, with poor or delayed communication becoming the norm. This disconnect leaves landlords feeling unsupported and out of the loop when it comes to managing their own investments.

At Pickard Property, we understand how frustrating this can be – and we want to make it clear that switching agents, even mid-tenancy, is a straightforward process. All we require is a simple one-page signed mandate from you, and we’ll take care of the rest, including liaising with your current agent and tenants to ensure a smooth and seamless transition. Our goal is to take the stress out of changing agents while maintaining professionalism and courtesy at every step.

As part of our onboarding process, we’ll arrange to meet your tenants in person, introduce ourselves, and carry out a friendly, informal inspection of your property. This ensures we’re starting from a clean slate and aligned with your expectations from day one. Rest assured, all conversations are kept strictly confidential, and we will never contact your current agent without your explicit instruction.

If you would like to better understand the process, or if you would like to explore your options, please feel free to get in contact today either by calling the office or dropping us an email.
