We take the hassle out of property whether you are based in Scotland or further afield.
Evergreen Property Ltd are uniquely positioned to guide landlords as to the best course of action for their property.
We manage both short and long-term properties. We will advise with a clear conscience and will advise with honesty and integrity. With professional memberships in both short and long let associations, our landlords are the first to know of any change or news in property legislation. And, if you are considering selling your property, we have several close contacts who we can recommend.
Evergreen Property has been serving landlords from around the world over a decade.
We are acutely aware of the threat that the new Short Let Regulations and licensing legislation is having on our industry. We constantly offer our landlords advice on how they should be proceeding and we are constantly reviewing the situation on the ground. At present, we are unable to take on any short let properties that are not already operating, unless planning has been approved and a licence granted. We can take on the management of going concerns, looking for new management.
