Do not rent using Rettie, they will try to lay claim to your deposit at end of tenancy. Luckily we have the necessary proof to illustrate that the claims were unfounded to the lettings protection service. Unethical
and unprofessional, * who has shown us nothing but contempt in our opinion.
I advise you to really think twice about using this agent, we are so disgusted with them

We letted two consecutive flats with Rettie over the past 6 years, both with Emma as our letting agent. We have nothing but stellar things to say about both Rettie and Emma! Both flats were fabulous, in great shape and looked after carefully by Rettie. Rettie ...

Were generally okay throught our renting period, however don't use this service if you aren't willing to fight tooth and nail for a fair share of your deposit back. As a flat we never expected to get 100% of the deposit back; however, they were adamant ...

Rettie manage rental properties for me. The service they provide is terrible. My emails go unanswered, sometimes for weeks. If I don't chase them then nothing gets done.
I'm paying for a full management service but it feels like I have to micro-mange them. There ...

We entrusted our property to Rettie for 6 years. Upon taking the property back we found substantial damage to the house caused by the tenant's cats. Rettie's response? Complete and utter disinterest.
In my view they breached their duty of care. I would not recommend this ...

Don't know - fees were part of the rent. But the rent was very high.

Nice people to deal with, efficient, pleasant and helpful.Best Edinburgh flat hunting experience by far.
There are some agencies who seem to take potential customers for granted.This is not one of them.
5 stars....
