Residential

Properties to rent on Leys Estate

“Rationalisation and improvement of housing stock to medium and high quality EPC compliant accommodation, whilst striving to offer both affordable and competitive rents.”

As part of our estate management responsibilities, we let over 80 residential properties on a range of historic and modern tenancies.

Residential letting will remain a core part of the estate. However, changes to the political landscape, which includes failing to introduce an appropriate and workable Energy Performance assessment and certification system, has created an increasingly difficult private rented market in Scotland.

Leys Estate is committed to the rationalisation and improvement of housing stock to medium and high quality EPC compliant accommodation, whilst striving to offer both affordable and competitive rents.

Currently we provide 51 short assured tenancies, 13 houses leased within farm leases, five new private residential tenancies, four service occupancies, four regulated tenancies, one assured tenancy and four houses occupied by family members.

 

Key Objectives

  • Improve housing stock including energy performance.
  • Work with tenants to reduce energy consumption.
  • Continue to offer housing stock at affordable rents where feasible.
  • Target delivery of digital connectivity to all estate properties.
