Gauci Magri & Partners finds, checks and refurbishes buy-to-let homes in Glasgow and Edinburgh for property companies, public bodies and housing charities, with letting through registered partner letting agents. It is the same service our private investors get. What changes is the package and the price, which we build around your brief and agree with you in writing.
Who this is for
- Property companies and portfolio landlordsBuilding or adding to a portfolio, several homes at a time.
- Public bodiesBuying homes in Glasgow or Edinburgh and wanting the search, the checks and the works run as one project.
- Housing charitiesBuying homes to let, where the standard of the home matters as much as the price.
What we take on
- Sourcing to your brief. 6 ready-to-buy properties for each home you want, within 3 months of the deposit, or the deposit back.
- Due diligence on every property. Viewed by us or a partner we trust, the Home Report read, and costed for price, purchase tax, works, likely rent and what is left after costs.
- Refurbishment project management. Works agreed with you before they start, planned to the Repairing Standard, run through contractors we already know, and checked before handover with the gas, electrical and alarm paperwork collected.
- Letting through registered agents. If you want the homes let, we introduce you to partner letting agents on the Scottish Letting Agent Register, and stay on as your point of contact.
- One point of contact. One person runs your project from the first search to handover and sends you plain-English updates.
How the package and price are set
Our three standard packages were built for individual investors, so for an organisation we usually start from a blank page. We talk through what you need and put the price in writing before any work begins. If monthly or quarterly billing suits your budget cycle better, ask. All fees are + VAT where applicable.
Working to procurement rules? Send them to us early. If we can't meet them, it's better for both of us to know on day one. Our standard packages and fees are on the website, so you can see roughly where the numbers land before we talk.
What we need from you
- How many homes, in which areas, and the size and condition you are after.
- Your budget per home and your timescale.
- Who signs off a purchase, and how quickly they can do it. Good deals in Glasgow and Edinburgh do not wait long.
- The identity and source-of-funds details we check for every client.
What stays with you
Every property is bought in your organisation's name, on its title. You decide what to buy, you see every works quote in full before anything starts, and the letting agent's terms are agreed directly between you and the agent.
Common questions
Can you buy several properties at once?
Yes. Each property is sourced with the same guarantee: 6 ready-to-buy options within 3 months of its deposit, or the deposit back. If you buy 2, we add 2 more to the shortlist. If you buy 3 or more, we add 3 more for each one.
Is the price fixed?
Our standard packages start at £2,500 per property and are published on the packages and fees page. For organisations we usually build a package instead, and the price is negotiated with you and agreed in writing. All fees are + VAT where applicable.
Do you work outside Glasgow and Edinburgh?
No. We source in Glasgow and Edinburgh only, because that is where we know what homes really cost, need and let for.
Who owns the property?
Your organisation does. Every property is bought in your name, on your title, and the decision to buy is always yours.
