Common Questions

Can't find your answer? Give us a call on 07940 071963.

Melrose landlords must have: a valid EICR every 5 years or at the start of each new tenancy, interlinked smoke and heat alarms meeting the Tolerable Standard, and gas safety certificates where applicable. All must be provided to tenants within 28 days.

Yes — holiday lets and guest houses in Melrose require a valid EICR and compliant alarm systems. Short-term letting platforms, VisitScotland and insurers all require current safety certificates. We issue certificates accepted across all these platforms.

Every 5 years under Scottish legislation, or at the start of each new tenancy if sooner. For Melrose holiday lets with high turnovers, we recommend keeping certificates current and immediately accessible.

All Scottish properties — including Melrose rentals and holiday lets — must have: interlinked smoke alarms in the main living area and all circulation spaces, and a heat alarm in every kitchen. We install fully compliant interlinked systems and issue same-day installation records.

Historic and listed properties in Melrose may have wiring or structural constraints that affect how compliance work is carried out. Our inspectors are experienced with older Borders properties and will explain the appropriate approach for your specific building.

Yes — we work with Melrose holiday let and B&B owners managing multiple properties. We track all EICR due dates and coordinate compliance visits to minimise gaps between bookings.
