Lettings

HMO

With extensive experience in obtaining HMO licences, we manage properties ranging from 3 to 14 bedrooms. From day-to-day maintenance and repairs to full HMO compliance and transparent financial reporting, we handle every detail for you.

Our Promise

At Niven & Co, we pride ourselves on delivering an exceptional, personal service. Our dedication to both landlords and tenants has helped us become one of the most trusted student letting agents in St Andrews.

Landlords benefit from fair commission fees, quick response times, and a hands-on approach to property management that always puts your interests first.

Tenants

At Niven & Co, we believe that happy tenants make for successful tenancies. We’re always approachable and responsive, ensuring any concerns are handled quickly and that tenants feel supported and satisfied.

Property inspections

We conduct monthly inspections of all our HMO properties in line with legislative requirements, ensuring that all necessary checks and documentation are kept fully up to date. During these visits, we also identify any maintenance issues that may require attention.

Our residential properties are inspected quarterly, with a full digital report provided to both landlords and tenants. These inspections help ensure tenants are maintaining the property in accordance with their tenancy agreement and highlight any areas needing attention. This proactive approach helps prevent end-of-tenancy issues and protects all parties within the deposit scheme process.

Rental Income Management

We work closely with our landlords to help them achieve the best possible return from their properties. Our team is always happy to advise on improvements or upgrades that can make a property more appealing to tenants and maximise rental income.

Financial Reporting

We provide detailed financial breakdown reports to ensure you have a clear and transparent overview of your property’s performance, including all income and expenditure. Our reports are accurate, easy to understand, and delivered promptly. For your convenience, they can also be uploaded directly to your accountant.
