About Rent in the Borders

Why the Scottish Borders needs its own portal

The Scottish Borders rental market has its own character. With a mix of historic market towns, rural villages, and an increasing number of remote workers choosing the region for its quality of life, renting in the Borders is a different experience from city living. Our area guides, written with genuine local knowledge, help renters understand not just what's available but where they'll actually want to live — whether that's the picturesque square of Kelso, the outdoor paradise of Peebles, or the well-connected hub of Galashiels.

Free for agents

We believe the best way to build a useful property portal is to have comprehensive listings. That's why basic listings on Rent in the Borders are completely free for letting agents. You can list manually or connect an automated feed (Rightmove BLM format supported). Premium features — including enhanced listings, analytics, and featured placement — are available for agents who want more visibility.

Built with modern technology

Rent in the Borders is built for speed and usability. Our site loads fast on mobile, works without JavaScript for basic browsing, and is optimised for search engines so renters can find your properties through Google. We use open-source mapping (no Google Maps lock-in) and privacy-respecting analytics.
