I have been using Factotum for nearly 5 years now to manage my property let. Over the years they have provided a reliable, helpful and efficient service and I find my dealings with them to be straightforward and uncomplicated - everything a landlord needs! Stacey is particularly helpful and ensures I am aware and up to date on all issues regarding my property promptly and personably. It is a pleasure dealing with Factotum who make letting my property easy and hassle free!

We're very happy with the company and the level of accommodation on offer. This year's flat was the perfect festival property.

This is at least the sixth year we have used Factotum and I would have no hesitation in recommending them. We rent for a week during the festival each year and have had only two problems in the 6 years. Last year the flat owner charged a cleaning bill which we queried as we had been scrupulous ...

What agent could do to change your mind?

The fees are reasonable for the services offered and around the going rate particularly as the start up fees isn't exorbitant.

We needed to find a short-term let in Edinburgh with practically no notice and on a tight budget. We had our two young kids with us and were hoping also to find somewhere that could take our cat too.

For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
