Westport Property

What Westport Property does

Westport Property is a RICS-regulated, family-run property consultancy founded in 2012 and headquartered at 3 Old Hawkhill, Dundee. It provides an integrated suite of residential letting, commercial agency, student accommodation, and investment and asset management services across the Tayside region of Scotland — specifically Dundee, Broughty Ferry, Arbroath, Montrose, and Newport-on-Tay. The firm manages over 650 tenancies and 70 commercial properties with a property portfolio under management valued at £12 million, collecting approximately £1 million in rent annually on behalf of landlords. Commercial clients span enterprise names such as Michelin-Scotland Innovation Parc, Hansteen, BBI Group, and Barnardo's alongside smaller tenants like Clark's Bakery and IAS Scaffolding.

The underlying platform is a website-based property listing and management system at westportproperty.co.uk, supplemented by an AI-assisted lease event management capability for diarising and tracking critical lease milestones. Self-service digital tools include a rent affordability calculator, online maintenance request forms, tenancy applications, and reference requests. The firm is regulated by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and holds accreditations from the Scottish Association of Landlords, the Council of Letting Agents, and Landlord Accreditation Scotland.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: recurring letting and property management fees (subscription-style, billed monthly for residential and annually for commercial), transaction-based commercial agency fees on sales and leases, and professional services fees for investment and asset management advisory. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the website, phone (01382 225 517), email, and in-person at the Dundee office, with a sales-led motion for commercial acquisitions targeting businesses and investors. The firm employs 1–10 staff and has accumulated 7 industry awards, a 4.8/5 average rating across 100+ reviews, and a 97% client recommendation rate, indicating strong but geographically bounded brand equity in the Tayside letting market.

Direct peers

• Leaders Romans Group: Large UK residential letting and sales group. Overlaps with Westport on residential letting and management but at materially larger scale and broader geographic reach.
• DJ Alexander (DJA): Largest independent letting and estate agency in Scotland, with significant Dundee and Tayside exposure. Directly comparable to Westport as a multi-service residential and commercial letting/management agency in the same Scottish geography.
• Clyde Property: Scottish letting and estate agent network with offices across central Scotland. Closely comparable offering of residential letting, management, and sales services to a similar landlord and tenant base.
• Rettie & Co: Edinburgh-headquartered Scottish property consultancy offering residential lettings, management, and investment services. Comparable mid-market, RICS-regulated multi-service property firm with similar landlord/investor clients.
• Watermans Solicitors: Scottish firm offering residential letting and property management services in the central belt and east coast. Overlaps with Westport on residential lettings, tenant referencing, and landlord services.
• Belvoir Lettings: UK-wide network of letting and management franchises. Comparable operating model (full-service letting, rent collection, management) serving similar landlord and tenant segments, albeit at a national franchise scale.
• Martin & Co: National UK letting agency franchise providing residential letting, management, and tenant-finding services. Comparable service mix and target customers, with similar reliance on local market expertise.

Broad incumbents

• Connells Group: UK's largest estate and letting agency network (incorporating Countrywide). Competes with Westport on residential lettings and sales as a broad incumbent with national scale and corporate backing.
• Your Move: Long-established national UK estate and letting agency brand. Provides overlapping residential letting and management services but as part of a much wider portfolio across the UK.

Emerging players

• OpenRent: UK proptech platform enabling landlords to self-serve lettings and tenant referencing online. Not a direct letting agency, but represents the digital-disruption vector that could compress traditional letting-agent fees in the same market.
