Quicklet has expanded its presence in Edinburgh with the acquisition of the rental portfolios of LinnMac and Investment Lettings.

The properties will be managed by Albany Lettings, Quicklet’s Edinburgh-based operation, increasing the group’s portfolio and reinforcing its position in the Scottish market.

Co-founded by Gavin McEvoy and Dermot O’Hanlon, Quicklet has grown through a mix of organic growth and targeted acquisitions, with this latest deal forming part of its ongoing strategy to scale operations while maintaining consistent management standards.

Gavin McEvoy, co-founder of Quicklet, said: “This is a continuation of the growth we’ve been building over the past few years.

“Our focus has always been on creating a business that manages properties properly, with clear processes and strong operational standards.

“Expanding in Edinburgh through Albany Lettings allows us to build on that, while keeping the service consistent for landlords and tenants on the ground.”

Dermot O’Hanlon, co-founder of Quicklet, added: “Growth for us isn’t about size for the sake of it. It’s about building a team and structure that can support properties properly at scale.

“Each acquisition is approached carefully, with a focus on continuity and making sure landlords and tenants don’t feel disruption as portfolios move across.”

As part of the transition, Angie McIntosh, senior property manager from LinnMac will join the Albany Lettings team, bringing detailed knowledge of the properties, landlords and tenants she currently supports.

The acquisition follows a series of recent portfolio additions within the wider Quicklet Group, including Robert Wilson Estate Agency in Northern Ireland (180 properties) and Keyone Property (86 properties) in Belfast in September 2024.
