I rented a flat in Troon through Roxburgh Group and it was my first time renting using a letting agent, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I had absolutely no problems and the flat was really perfect for me for the time I was working in Ayrshire which was around 18 months. It took a bit of time to obtain the necessary references on my end and a few things had to be sorted in the flat like the mandatory electrical tests etc so I think it was around 2-3 weeks between signing the lease and moving in, but it wasn't a problem. The inventory provided was thorough and honest about the condition regarding everything in the flat and everyone in the office was lovely to deal with and it really was a pleasure dropping by if I needed anything. A few bits and pieces needed repaired in the flat during my time there and it was easy to get ahold of someone by phone or email and things were sorted very quickly. It was such a positive experience and special thanks to Maureen, Tracey, Dawn, and Leslie in particular for being so helpful during my time in Troon. Everyone was so personable and friendly and I really appreciated having such a nice flat to stay in when I was teaching in Ayrshire. If I ever move back to Ayrshire, I'd definitely use Roxburgh!
Comment on agent fees
Letting agents aren't allowed to charge fees in Scotland which I believe is different from other parts of the UK according to my friends who moved up from England, so I wasn't charged any fees by Roxburgh Group. When I rented my flat, a holding sum of £200 was requested but this wasn't really a fee as it went towards the deposit of £310 for my flat, so I only had to pay another £110 to make up the difference for the deposit and the entire amount was returned to me when I left via SafeDeposits Scotland. I was suprised by some of the comments here, I think as long as you leave the flat as its found and check the inventory carefully when you move in, you really shouldn't have any problems or additional fees or suprises. I really would recommend Roxburgh and would use them again.
