I went in to enquire about a flat. The flat was to be for me, my wife and one cat. We both have good jobs at Glasgow-based universities. We also have excellent references, and have lived in our current flat for 5 years without incident. Shortly after walking into that estate agents I was made to feel like I was dirt underneath their fingernails. They didn't inquire about our personal circumstances and just assumed we were chancers. They insisted they would not ask landlords if they would be happy with having a cat in the property, even if the flat was unfurnished and didn't have carpets. They also warned us that they would inspect the property every two months. When I said that seemed quite intrusive the agent went on the offensive, and was acting as if I was trying to hide something. I left the agency incredibly demoralised. I wish landlords would stop using agencies so much. The few landlords I've managed to make direct contact with were all happy with a cat once I explained our circumstances. Bottom line is: DO NOT GO WITH THIS AGENCY. THEY ARE RUDE AND TREAT TENANTS LIKE DIRT.
