I was lied at the viewing, promised a lot of cleaning/fixing jobs to be carried on the property, no need to lie if they didn't want to have bother they could have stated right away that a tenant getting the house would have had to clean it. Because of that, (+ minor frictions: lack of information and rudeness from their part) after I had given notice at my current place, paid all the money needed, done council papers and the agreement had already been electronically accepted, after all this, I insisted on written confirmation of the house being given clean to me as promised at the viewing and I got rejected, everything cancelled and my money refunded without a care for my family possibly facing homelessness and getting enormous amounts of stress and upset. Not to mention the breech of contract. I tried to compromise because I really wanted to move but no attempt on their part was made once their mind was set. They said the landlord was responsible for their decisions but given the previous lies I am inclined to think it was yet another lie to cover their own mistakes. Avoid.

As landlords, having been happily with a small agency (Edinburgh Letting) for a number of years we were passed on to Rent Locally when the owner of EdLet sold up. Despite assurances of a continued personal approach this failed to materialise, being on the end of automatically generated emails from... Read Full Review

When we moved from Leith to Oxgangs the process was simple and Clare our property manager was very helpful. Can't recommend them... Read Full Review

Do not rent with them if it can be avoided. We rented a house they advertised as a long term let - we uprooted our whole family including two autistic children who struggle with change, only to find out 4 months later that it was actually a short term let. The landlords informed us through text... Read Full Review

I have the fully managed service for the property I rent out but I get very little for the fee I pay. They simply collect the rent and do rare periodic inspections lasting a few minutes, providing me with little feedback. Not good value for money. To stop using the service you apparently have to...

What agent could do to change your mind?

I think the fees are fair and reasonable.
