List your rental property in Inverness

Inverness has a steady, year-round rental demand that reflects its role as the Highland capital. Tenants here include healthcare staff around Raigmore Hospital, students and academics linked to the UHI Inverness campus, public-sector and energy-sector workers, and people moving to the city before deciding where to settle longer term. Demand spreads across the centre and the riverside flats, family homes in areas like Crown, Dalneigh and Hilton, and the growing estates towards Inshes, Culloden and Milton of Leys. It is a real working rental market rather than a holiday-let one, which tends to mean tenants looking for a proper home rather than a short stay.

The Renters' Rights Act 2026 has reshaped the ground rules across the country. Section 21 no-fault evictions are gone, most tenancies now run as assured periodic tenancies rather than fixed terms, and landlords must give tenants the official Information Sheet 2026 at the start. In practice that means clearer obligations on both sides and a stronger emphasis on getting the paperwork, the property condition and the ongoing management right from day one. If you have let before under the old framework, it is worth treating a new tenancy as a fresh exercise rather than reusing an old process.

As with selling, you have a genuine choice on Domovita. You can advertise the property yourself, deal with enquiries and run the tenancy directly - many Inverness landlords with one or two local properties do exactly this. Or you can appoint a local letting agent to handle marketing, referencing, the legal documentation and day-to-day management. One is more hands-on, the other more delegated; neither is presented as the only sensible option, and you can switch approach later if your circumstances change.

One thing to check before you let: licensing and any additional landlord requirements in Inverness are set by the local council, not by us, and the rules can differ by area and property type. Confirm with the council what applies to your specific property before advertising, alongside the usual safety certificates and the deposit-protection and Information Sheet duties under the 2026 Act. Once you are clear on compliance, you can list your Inverness rental yourself in minutes or hand it to a local agent - your call, and Domovita keeps either route straightforward.
