Forth Residential

Forth Residential operates as an independent letting agent and property management specialist based in Stirling, Scotland. The firm commenced operations in 2012, initially as a home-based business, and has since established its physical presence at the Kildean Business Hub in Stirling. The company's core focus is exclusively on letting and property management services across Stirling, Edinburgh, and Glasgow. Forth Residential manages a portfolio of properties, aiming to deliver a high standard of service to both landlords and tenants.

The company adheres to established industry standards, holding memberships with both the Property Ombudsman and Landlord Accreditation Scotland. This commitment ensures that Forth Residential operates within a framework of professional conduct and regulatory compliance. The firm is also an approved agent with the Scottish Government, evidenced by its Letting Agent Registration Number LARN1805009. Forth Residential's operational philosophy centers on providing a hassle-free experience for property owners, ensuring properties are well-maintained and managed effectively.

Forth Residential offers a comprehensive suite of services designed to cover all aspects of property letting and management. These services include market rent appraisals and pre-tenancy advice, professional photography, and advertising across major property portals such as Rightmove. The company conducts accompanied viewings seven days a week to accommodate prospective tenants and performs full reference and credit checks through online partners. Once a tenancy is agreed upon, Forth Residential handles the tenancy agreement, legal paperwork, and detailed inventory check-ins with supporting photographs, as well as lodging deposits with My Deposit Scotland.

Beyond initial letting, the firm provides ongoing property management services. This includes notifying suppliers of changes in occupancy, collecting rent, and ensuring prompt monthly payments to landlords. Forth Residential manages repairs through a network of trusted local contractors and addresses all tenant inquiries. For tenant peace of mind, a dedicated 24-hour emergency helpline is available.

The company also facilitates the renewal of safety checks to meet statutory obligations and conducts twice-yearly property visits, providing landlords with reports. For landlords with multiple properties, Forth Residential offers a tailored portfolio management service, providing a single point of contact. This approach allows a dedicated property manager to become familiar with both the landlord and their properties, regardless of location within Central Scotland, fostering consistent communication. The company's experience extends to managing Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs), catering to landlords with properties that may serve multiple occupants, including those in the student accommodation sector.

Forth Residential also offers a free transfer service for landlords wishing to switch from existing agents, aiming for a smooth transition with minimal disruption to tenants.
