Our purpose
The voice of letting
Giving voice to Scotland’s landlords and letting agents.
SAL exists to ensure that landlords and letting agents are able to deliver the best managed and maintained homes, and focus on sustainability, best practice and setting the standard, through being heard and respected.
Our members sign up to be part of a modern and vibrant PRS and we represent them and campaign to demonstrate that the PRS can deliver good homes for people.
We build the reputation of the sector as a key part of the housing system and negotiate with and influence government decisions about standards and enforcement. We provide our members with advice and support to be the best.
To promote knowledge and excellence through continuing education, building confidence and recognising best practice, and to see everyone in scottish letting accredited.
As we promote higher standards in the PRS, we also provide all the tools and knowledge needed by landlords and letting agents
to deliver excellence.
We believe that excellence can be achieved through increasing knowledge, training and ensuring universal accreditation.
We want to ensure that the PRS is a key part of the Scottish Government’s ambition to achieve a well-functioning housing system with high quality and sustainable homes for all, that meets people’s needs.
Membership of SAL is the best money any landlord can spend. Thank you to all the SAL team for a further year of unfailing support and invaluable information; membership is worth every penny.
As a small independent landlord for the past eight years I have found the services of SAL invaluable in helping me through the minefield of legislation and red tape that goes with the territory. Before we took over three properties in our area I asked friends who let out rooms to students a) is this a good idea? and b) any advice? The answer was join SAL, so we did, and even with recent price increases it’s worth every penny. Just knowing help is at hand at the end of the phone, and that documents, templates, and courses are all available. Thank you SAL – I couldn’t have managed this far along without you.
