Why list with us

Free basic listings

Two ways to list

Connect your Rightmove BLM feed for automatic sync, or add properties manually through the dashboard.

How it works

  1. Register an account — takes about two minutes, no credit card needed.
  2. Verify your email — click the link we send you.
  3. Choose a listing method — connect your Rightmove BLM feed (agents) or add properties manually (anyone).
  4. Upload your first property — it's live within 10 minutes.

Built for the new Scottish rental landscape

The Housing (Scotland) Act 2025 came into force on 1 April 2026, introducing a national rent control framework and tightening the economics of letting in Scotland. Portal fees that were tolerable in 2020 eat into margins that are now much thinner. Rent in the Borders gives you free visibility in a local market where buyers know what they're looking for — so you keep more of what you earn.

Read our Housing (Scotland) Act 2025 landlord explainer for what's changed, what's coming in October 2026 and April 2027, and what to do now.

Scottish letting requirements

All properties listed on Rent in the Borders must comply with Scottish letting law. You're responsible for:

Tenancy agreement

Private rentals in Scotland use the Private Residential Tenancy (PRT) — open-ended, with 28 days' notice from the tenant.

Deposit protection

Deposits must be protected in an approved scheme within 30 working days. Failure can cost up to 3× the deposit.

Safety certificates

Valid gas safety (annual), EICR (5 years), EPC (min. E), and interlinked smoke/heat/CO alarms.

Landlords register with Scottish Borders Council. Agents must be on the Scottish Letting Agent Register.
