AYRSHIRE LETTING AND SALES LTD

What AYRSHIRE LETTING AND SALES LTD does

Ayrshire Letting and Sales Ltd is a privately held, Scotland-based property agency founded in 2014 and headquartered in West Kilbride, North Ayrshire. The firm operates as a traditional letting and sales agency delivering residential property sales, full property management, tenant finding, rent guarantee insurance, professional property sourcing (for investors), inventory and Legionella risk assessments, and corporate/serviced or holiday accommodation lets across the Ayrshire region (Ardrossan, Saltcoats, Largs, West Kilbride, Fairlie, Dreghorn). The technology platform is standard property management software supplied by SME Professional — there is no proprietary software, no mobile app, and no public API.

The business generates revenue through three streams: recurring management fees from landlords for full management and tenant placement, transaction-based commission on property sales, and short-term rental income from corporate and holiday lets priced at premium nightly or monthly rates (£2,000–£3,600 pcm observed for fully furnished stock). GTM is sales-led with a regional office plus a self-serve website portal, free online valuation tool, significant social media presence, listing on major property portals, and a referral-driven word-of-mouth motion. Customers are individual landlords and tenants across the Ayrshire catchments; the firm reports 212 happy clients, 506 lifetime lets agreed, and 198 lifetime properties sold, with current active inventory of 10 rentals and 5 sales. The firm is regulated (LARN1902044) and holds memberships in the Council of Letting Agents, The Property Ombudsman, Landlord Accreditation Scotland, plus Client Money Protection and Professional Indemnity Insurance.
