Dunedin Property Management

What Dunedin Property Management does

Dunedin Property Management Ltd is a privately-held, Edinburgh-based residential property management firm founded in 2001, operating from its headquarters at 80 Main Street, Davidsons Mains. The company provides full-cycle property management services to landlords in Edinburgh and surrounding areas, with its core Full Management offering covering tenant communication, rent collection and landlord statements, maintenance coordination, routine inspections, compliance, and lease renewals, billed at a recurring percentage of rental income (from 10%+VAT). The firm complements this with discrete service modules including Tenant Find & Acquisition, Tenant in Situ Transfers (from 7%+VAT), HMO Support, Compliance Coordination (gas safety, EICR, EPC, PAT, Legionella), Maintenance & Repairs coordination, Refurbishment Coordination, and a Portfolio Support advisory service, plus a Building Solutions sub-brand handling refurbishment and pre-let improvement works.

The company's technology stack is intentionally light: there is no proprietary management platform, and the primary digital touchpoint is a Citylets-powered Free Instant Rental Valuation tool that captures landlord leads online. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct-to-consumer, combining free instant valuations and 15-minute consultation calls with traditional phone, email, and on-site property visits. Landlords seeking hands-off full management represent the primary customer segment, with secondary segments including HMO landlords, multi-property portfolio landlords, building/refurbishment customers, and tenants seeking Edinburgh rental homes.

Revenue is generated predominantly through recurring percentage-based management fees on rental income, supplemented by one-off professional services fees for tenant placement, transfers, refurbishment, and compliance coordination. The firm does not disclose revenue, has not raised external funding, has no parent company, and operates exclusively within the Edinburgh market. Customer concentration is distributed across many small landlord accounts, with the business model inherently long-tail. Overall, Dunedin positions itself as a local, relationship-driven alternative to national letting franchises, relying on hands-on service, transparent pricing, and bundled compliance and maintenance coordination as its primary value drivers.

Broad incumbents
