‘I didn’t know you did that as well’

At 1Let, most of our clients know us for what we do best: managing rental properties. From finding great tenants to handling day-to-day maintenance and ensuring compliance, we take the hassle out of being a landlord.

But did you know we also offer a property sourcing service?

Many of our current landlords are surprised by this, and it is proving to be a practical benefit for those seeking to expand their portfolio or enter the property investment market for the first time.

Why property sourcing?

If you’re thinking about your next rental investment, the first hurdle is usually finding the right property.

That means not just spotting something on the market, but making sure:

• The numbers work — rental yield, long-term return, and affordability.
• The property is in a location with strong tenant demand.
• You understand the likely maintenance costs and compliance requirements.
• You can see a clear plan for the future — whether that’s growth, resale, or long-term rental income.

Our sourcing service takes this entire process off your hands. We do the research, crunch the numbers, and present you with opportunities that make sense.

Why it works so well:

Here’s where it really benefits you as an existing or soon-to-be landlord: we already know the market very well.

Because we’re managing properties across Edinburgh every single day, we can spot the types of homes that let quickly, achieve strong rents, and retain great tenants. That means we’re sourcing not just any investment property — but ones that will actually perform in the rental market.

And the best part? Once you’ve bought the property, our management team can seamlessly step in and get it ready for tenants. One smooth process, all under one roof.

• Existing landlords – If you’ve been thinking about adding another property to your portfolio, but don’t have the time to do the research and legwork, our sourcing service gives you a clear route forward.
• First-time landlords – If you’re just starting out, we can help you avoid costly mistakes and guide you to the right first investment — and then manage it for you once you’re ready to let.
• Overseas landlords – If you’re based outside the UK, our sourcing service makes it possible to invest in the Edinburgh market with confidence. We’ll handle everything locally - from finding the right property to managing it once it’s let - so you can grow your portfolio without needing to be on the ground.

So many of our landlords have said: “I didn’t know you did that as well!” and we love being able to support you beyond management.

If you’re curious about expanding your portfolio or you’re taking the leap into your first rental, why not have a chat with us? Our property sourcing service is here to make your investment journey easier, smarter, and more rewarding.
