Albany Lettings Acquires Hadden Rankin to Expand Edinburgh Portfolio

Albany Lettings has completed the acquisition of Hadden Rankin Property Management, further strengthening its presence in Edinburgh’s private rented sector. This marks Albany’s second acquisition of 2026, following its purchase of LinnMac Property and Investment Letting in March.

Hadden Rankin has over 20 years’ experience providing property management services to landlords, tenants, and investors across Edinburgh. Its services include lettings, compliance support, portfolio reviews, and investment advice.

According to Albany, the acquisition will expand its team and management portfolio, while ensuring continuity of service for Hadden Rankin’s existing clients. The transaction is part of Albany’s strategy to grow through acquiring established local property management businesses in Edinburgh.

For letting agents and inventory clerks, this development brings together two established property businesses, potentially increasing operational resources and support for landlords and tenants in the region. Albany has stated that important knowledge about properties, landlords, and tenants will be carried forward during the handover to maintain service standards.
