Our story

How Hoose & Key came to be.

Balraj is a Glasgow landlord who runs a construction and refurb company, and has bought and sold more than twenty properties. As his portfolio grew, he wanted to focus on expansion rather than day-to-day management. But after two letting agents that never quite delivered, he was still chasing updates and picking up the slack himself.

Then he found Emma. She managed his entire portfolio, and did it the way he'd always wanted it done. When landlords in his own network turned out to be stuck with the same agent frustrations, it was clear the problem was bigger than one portfolio. So he and Emma set up Hoose & Key together, to give other landlords and sellers the standard of service they'd been missing.

Emma has spent over a decade in Scottish lettings and sales, across both corporate and independent agencies. Today she and the team look after every Hoose & Key property, including Balraj's own.

Why landlord-founded matters

Hoose & Key was founded by a Glasgow portfolio landlord who was let down by letting agents. So we built the service he wanted: straight answers, clear fees and nothing left for you to chase.

What we stand for

One team. One standard. Every time.

01

Transparent fees, agreed up front

No hidden charges or surprise add-ons. You'll know exactly what you pay, and what it covers, before anything is signed.

02

A dedicated point of contact

You deal with the same people who know your property, not a call centre or a different voice every time.

03

Award-winning property technology

Your own app, Reposit, Inventory Base and Rightmove Plus: real-time updates and less admin for landlords, tenants and sellers.

04

Local Glasgow property experts

We know Glasgow and its surrounding areas street by street, so your property is priced and marketed on genuine local knowledge.

05

Honest, evidence-based valuations

An honest valuation built on actual sold-price data, and a clear strategy to achieve the best possible price. Never an inflated figure.

06

No lengthy contracts

Our management is rolling, month to month, so you're free to leave on two months' notice. We'd rather earn your business.

Regulated, accredited and fully compliant

Your investment, in safe hands.

"We couldn't have asked for a better estate agent. Kept informed every step of the way, with regular updates and clear communication throughout. What impressed us most was how efficiently everything was handled - from putting the house on the market to completing the sale took around 6 weeks. We'd highly recommend Hoose & Key to anyone looking to sell their home."
