Braemore Sales and Lettings has acquired the Edinburgh lettings business, Click-Let. The deal secures the property firm’s move into the thriving short term lettings market and builds its existing managed portfolio.

The deal, Braemore’s tenth acquisition since 2010, adds a further 400 properties to its lettings portfolio across Edinburgh, East Lothian, West Lothian, and Fife. Click-Let’s staff join Braemore’s 75 strong team in Edinburgh, whose knowledge and experience of the market and portfolio will be hugely valuable.

Braemore Chief Executive, Ian Lawson, said, “The popularity of short term lets is higher than ever in Edinburgh, throughout the year and during the Festival season in particular. There is huge demand during key periods like Hogmanay, and with Six Nations Rugby at Murrayfield, so this opportunity is testament to the changing demographics of this market. We saw the acquisition of Click-Let as an opportunity to invest in this trend.”

Stewart Pitt, Director of Click-Let, said, “For the last 14 years we have enjoyed being part of the growing Edinburgh property market, developing a strong team and brand to serve our customers. The chance to work with Braemore came at the right time.”
