Dove Davies & Partners

Five Decades of Edinburgh Property Expertise

We’ve been a fixture of the Edinburgh property market since 1974. What started as a family-run business has grown into one of the city’s most respected firms, but our core mission remains the same: providing a level of service that only true professionals can deliver.

Whether you are a first-time landlord or a seasoned investor, we bring over 40 years of residential expertise to your portfolio. We don't just find tenants; we build sustainable, compliant, and profitable tenancies across Edinburgh and the Lothians.

Why the "Chartered Surveyor" Status Matters

We are more than just letting agents. As a member firm of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), we are governed by the strictest rules in the industry. This means our personal conduct, training, and client accounting procedures are held to the highest ethical standards.

When you work with us, you benefit from:

• Professional Indemnity Insurance for your peace of mind
• Rigorous Client Accounting to ensure your funds are always protected
• Expert Technical Knowledge that goes beyond simple property management

From Sourcing to Refurbishment: A Complete Investment Partner

We provide a full-spectrum service that begins long before a tenant moves in. If you are looking to grow your portfolio, we can assist with the initial sourcing of suitable Buy-to-Let properties.

Once a property is secured, our Property Refurbishment Service takes the lead. We have a network of trusted trade contacts to handle everything from simple decoration and carpeting to larger projects requiring planning permission and building warrants. We manage the project, so your property is market-ready without you having to lift a finger.

Navigating the Maze of Scottish Legislation

The letting landscape in Scotland is governed by a complex web of legislation—from the Private Rented Housing (Scotland) Act to HMO Licensing and Gas Safety Regulations.

"We understand that your property is more than an asset; it is someone's home. We balance the emotive nature of property management with a clinical understanding of the law."

We handle the myriad of safety checks, deposit lodgements with government-approved schemes, and the transfer of utilities. Our use of modern technology, combined with our traditional professional training, ensures a consistently high level of service that keeps you compliant and your tenants happy.
