Let Property

With approximately 400 properties currently under our management we believe we have developed a very efficient system of managing residential property. Routine property maintenance, full refurbishments and new buildings, renovations and conversions are all areas in which we have extensive experience. We also offer a professional sales and purchasing service to ensure the efficient handling of any additions to or disposals from a client's existing property portfolio.

Financial Management and Staff Related Matters

All estate and farm records are maintained and updated routinely. We operate a computerized book keeping system and our team is expert in all aspects of this area including VAT, payroll and generation of advanced accounts for passing to the client’s accountant. Where this function is already being carried out by another party we are able to work closely and productively with them to ensure full integration of all the components of your business. Your staff is one of the most important parts of your business and we offer a recruitment service as well as comprehensive advice on how to manage your Health & Safety responsibilities.

Independence

As an independent firm, we believe we can draw in the very best advice when required to ensure that your business is driven forward in a professional and managed fashion. Proactive management permits the identification of problems before they present themselves and this is something at which Land Management (Scotland) Limited excels.
