I'd never rented before so chose a, so-called, 'reputable', landlord. Big mistake.
Damp smell, beetles and small flies from day 1 and increasingly cracking/sharp bathroom tiles, due to incorrect laying of substrate. Took C.E six months to rectify, despite advising that I had a ...

Overpriced compared to Riverclyde homes, who have safe living conditions, hot water and central heating.

Comment on agent fees
The avarage maintenence fees charged by letting agents in the area is10% (plus Vat). Castle Estates (Glasgow ltd) based in Greenock charges more that the local average. They feel the service they provide, justifies the higher rate asked. From my experience paying more does not ensure a better service.

Feel the charges are fair with the work they do and carry out for the landlord.
