Edinburgh is small on the map and layered on the ground. The Old Town and New Town sit within a World Heritage setting, with listed buildings and strict rules that shape any work on windows and stonework.
Around them are tenement flats in Marchmont, Leith and Stockbridge, where shared stairs, common repairs and factors (the firms that manage shared buildings) are part of ordinary life. Morningside mixes villas with tenements, and Leith has been rebuilt around the Shore and the waterfront.
Beyond the city bypass, Livingston in West Lothian and Musselburgh in East Lothian answer to different councils. Property here follows Scottish law: sellers commission a Home Report, offers over is the norm, and solicitors handle the conveyancing.
Landlords register with their council, and letting agents sit on a Scottish register. Our fees carry VAT at 20 per cent, and HeyLead is the marketing team, not the licence holder.
