The Happy Lets Story

Happy Lets, founded by husband and wife team Bobby and Preet Sandhu (winners of the 2009 Young Achievers Award) is the new name on the High Street with a mission to help landlords and tenants find their happy place.

“We were determined that our company would provide a fresh alternative to the status quo and communicate a positive message in these challenging economic times. We desperately wanted a brand name that we could identify with and feel passionate about – and we found it in Happy Lets!

We are new, fresh, energetic and passionate. We care equally about our landlords’ property and our tenants’ needs and our focus is on keeping our clients happy.  We want happy tenants and happy landlords.”

The name may be new, but the team behind Happy Lets are experienced landlords and property managers, having been in the letting industry for over 10 years.  With offices in Glasgow’s West End and in Hamilton they manage property across Glasgow and Lanarkshire.

“Having bought, managed and grown our own portfolio of residential properties since 1999, we felt we had a deep understanding of the service landlords and tenants were looking for.  We were sensitive to both landlord and tenant needs and had a service of value to offer other landlords.  So, in June 2005, we opened an office in Glasgow’s West End, followed 3 years later by the acquisition of The Letting Store in Hamilton in May 2008.

We are focused on providing a high standard of service and management to our landlords, tenants and properties alike.  This is the simple, but fundamental key to a successful let from beginning to end and is what we incorporate into our daily management service.  Our mission is to create happy landlords, happy tenants and happy homes!

With this philosophy at the heart of every member of our team, it only seemed natural to rebrand and to a fitting name which clearly conveyed our message to the landlords and tenants of Glasgow and Lanarkshire and thus, Happy Lets was launched.

You have provided an extremely professional service and took the hassle out of letting my flat. My account manager was extremely enthusiastic and committed to finding a suitable tenant for my premises. I have since recommended you to several other Landlords I know.  Thanks!
