Witches have always been part of the story in Burns country, Ayr 🎃

This year’s little witch has teamed up with a caped hero, and the pair are heading up the path to a glowing front door with pumpkin buckets at the ready.

Thankfully, they’re far friendlier than anything Tam o’ Shanter ran into.

The Martin & Co Ayr team wishes every homeowner, landlord, tenant and family across Ayr a safe and happy Halloween 👻

Making Tax Digital reaches landlords with income over £20,000 from April 2028.

From 6 April 2028, it applies if your combined gross property and self-employment income was above £20,000 in 2026/27, unless you're exempt. That's income before expenses.

It adds up faster than you'd think. Two Ayr homes let at £600 a month bring in £14,400 a year, and a little self-employment income can take a small portfolio past the line.

To get ready, it's worth:
✔ Keeping digital records of income and expenses through the tax year
✔ Choosing MTD-compatible software without time pressure
✔ Understanding how qualifying income is calculated
✔ Matching your records to your agent's monthly statements

Managed lettings, and the monthly statements that go with them, are what Martin & Co Ayr can talk you through.

❄️ Ayr landlords, are your tenants prepared for winter emergencies? 🏡

As temperatures drop, a little preparation can help protect your rental property from unexpected damage.

💧 Does your tenant know where the stopcock is?

If a pipe bursts or a leak occurs, knowing how to turn off the water supply quickly can help limit damage and prevent costly repairs.

🔑 Make sure your tenants know:

✅ Where the stopcock is and how to use it.
✅ How to locate the fuse box and boiler controls.
✅ Who to contact if an emergency happens outside normal working hours.
✅ What steps to take if they discover a leak or burst pipe.

Sharing a simple winter information sheet can help tenants respond quickly and keep your Ayr rental property better protected during the colder months.
