Lothian Property Care

Old villas, new estates

Property care in Bonnyrigg & Lasswade

Bonnyrigg and Lasswade split neatly in two: handsome Victorian property around Broomieknowe and the river, and fast-growing modern estates at Hopefield and Waverley. We arrange trades for both — careful repair on the old stock, snagging and first-cycle maintenance on the new.

What Bonnyrigg & Lasswade property is like

  • Victorian villas and terraces around Broomieknowe and Lasswade.
  • Former mill and miners' housing in Polton with rendered walls.
  • Large modern estates where the first repaint and drainage jobs are now arriving.

Access, permits and permissions

  • Easy parking and van access keep callout costs modest.
  • Newer estates are often factored for shared ground — we check responsibility before quoting.
  • Former coal workings mean mining questions arise on sale; documented repairs help.
