According to recent research conducted by Citylets, the Glasgow property market continues to thrive. Rental incomes continue to rise, with the most dramatic increase being for larger properties.

There’s no doubt that Glasgow presents a very strong opportunity for property investors, but on average properties take more than a month to let, so it can be a long wait to see your rental income coming in.
However, Letfirst with Orchard and Shipman has an unrivalled offer for landlords. We have corporate clients waiting for properties, meaning your property is let faster than any other agency in Glasgow can offer. Plus, we’re able to offer guaranteed rent for up to 3.5 years, with any tenant damage costs covered too.
If you are a landlord with property to let in Glasgow, or you’re looking to invest in property with great returns, contact Letfirst today on 0141 428 3263 or letfirst@let-first.com, you can also visit the Letfirst website here.
As Social Housing waiting lists in the UK continue to grow, more and more people are being forced into private rented housing instead. This is leaving thousands of families and vulnerable households without a suitable home.

According to Government Social Housing statistics, there are more than 1.8 million households waiting for a social home – an increase of 81% since 1997. Shelter’s analysis of the English housing survey 2010/11 suggested that two thirds of those on the waiting list have been waiting for more than a year.
The shortage in supply of Social Housing simply stems from one cause; inadequate quantity of purpose built property over the past few decades. Additionally, whilst we have witnessed a lack of supply in housing, the demand has also risen. As a result, waiting lists for social housing continue to grow – forcing more and more people to move into private rented accommodation.
This presents excellent mid - long term opportunities for private investors to help meet this high demand with good quality, professionally managed properties.

Real estate investing is one of the best ways to build wealth, but it is often approached in ways that result in lower than average rental incomes, unforeseen expenses, uncertainties relating to regular payments, and the risks and expense associated with void periods.

The good news is, an annual rental income from a property that is now putting money in your pocket, rather than taking it out of your pocket, becomes an asset rather than a liability, and most Landlords are happy with that.
However, today’s Ultra-Savvy Landlords, are looking for more than that. They want higher than average annual rental incomes, with minimal expenses, reduced risks and long term lease periods without the uncertainty of void periods; allowing them to truly profit from their assets and build the wealth they set out to.
Too much to ask? The social housing market is currently delivering just that!
It’s easy to assume that letting your property to tenants in receipt of housing benefit should be avoided like the plague. Surely no Landlord in their right mind would put themselves at risk of payments made in arrears, property damage and complex claims procedures, not to mention upsetting the neighbours? That is, unless there is a solution to all of these things…
At Orchard and Shipman, our nationwide property services company has a proposition that is satisfying more and more of today’s ‘Ultra-savvy’ Landlords and Investors by ensuring high rental incomes, guaranteed rent without voids, long term lease periods of up to 5 years and no hidden costs.
Working with our Local Authority partners and central government to provide social housing solutions, we are also offering generous cash incentives to private Landlords who make their properties available to Let for people in receipt of housing benefits.
Orchard and Shipman’s nationwide portfolio of over 4,500 Landlords and Investors profit from monthly rental incomes that compete favourably with the annual average achieved through Orchard and Shipman’s competitors.
With generous new Landlord incentives coupled with a quality service offering, Landlords can now benefit from cash rewards, minimal risks, minimal expenses, and no hidden costs.
Orchard and Shipman’s current proposition to Landlords and Investors includes:
- Generous cash incentives
- Long term leases of up to 5 years
- Guaranteed monthly rent with no voids
- A fully managed service
- Protection against tenant damage
- Free rental assessments
- Expert local knowledge
- Local rental market trends
- Yield maximising strategies
- No legal fees
- No hidden costs
- No hassle

We are experiencing our share
of good times at the moment as we enjoy the pleasure and pride which comes from
winning an award as well as celebrating our expansion into a new city. All in
all, it’s been a good few months for us here at Orchard and Shipman.
To begin with, we were thrilled
to win ‘The Sunday Times Lettings Agency of the Year Award’ for Innovation in
recognition of our fantastic Letfirst model. This is our second Innovation
award in a year, having received an innovation award from the Chartered
Institute of Housing last year. We are
so pleased that Letfirst is receiving so much positive recognition.
The Letfirst model allows us
to offer a service which guarantees rent to landlords whilst also making private
lets available for tenants without the need for a deposit or rent in advance.
This is a huge step forward in the world of letting, as conventional models
require a deposit and rent in advance.
Letfirst has been in business
for just over three years now and so far we have managed to provide homes for
over 1,000 tenants in Edinburgh alone and are continuing to attract new
landlords every day so we are confident that this number will keep on growing.
We have had a great response
from both landlords and tenants to Letfirst. We believe, it is important to
cater to both landlords and tenants and the ability to guarantee a landlords rent on top
of a professional property management service, whilst also giving a tenant
relief from having to find a large sum of cash to secure a let in the first
place has created a real buzz in
Edinburgh.
Such has been the success in
Edinburgh that we are now excited to have opened our second branch in
Glasgow. Glasgow’s private rented market
is growing at a pace so we expect Letfirst to be a welcome addition to the
lettings market for both landlords and tenants. Hopefully this time next year,
there will be a third award with Glasgow’s name on it!
