About
Rachelle Bennett
My Story
I began my career in five-star hospitality in Cape Town in the early 2000s before relocating to Scotland with my family in 2015. We settled in the beautiful rural village of Alford, where we purchased our fixer-upper stone-and-slate cottage. Over the years, we've renovated the property room by room ourselves, gaining extensive hands-on knowledge of property renovation, repairs, and maintenance.
With more than four years of experience managing a large property portfolio for a local rural estate, together with a diploma in Interior Decorating, I bring a professional and well-rounded perspective to property management and design.
I have a genuine passion for property, and my focus is simple: to protect your investment and maximise its potential, whatever your preferred letting approach. The result is well-managed properties, happy tenants, and returning guests.

For Long-Term Rentals: I leverage my compliance knowledge, qualifications and hands-on experience to act as a total shield for your investment.
-
For Short-Term Lets: I combine my property management skills with 5-star hospitality experience and a Diploma in Interior Decorating. This means I don't just manage bookings; I can also style, stage, and elevate your property to stand out from its competitors.

Estates: Experienced interim support for rural estates during periods of increased demand, staff absence, or development and renovation projects, stepping in quickly to maintain continuity, uphold standards, and keep operations running smoothly.
As an independent, VAT-free business, I offer transparent pricing with no contractor mark-ups. The price quoted is the price you pay.
