Flat itself was nice and after a few issues, my time during the tenancy was relatively problem free. However, ELS deliberately misled me into believing the deposit was all being handled and I would get it back in a month and that I would not ...

Hi John, We're sorry to read your comments, however we are puzzled as the information you received was incorrect. Can you please get in touch with me directly to confirm which property you were in, as I cannot locate your Tenancy. We take these allegations very seriously and I'd like to get to the bottom of it. FYI, under the regulations of My Deposits Scotland, deposits are NEVER returned to Agents without the Tenant knowing about it. Regards, Lucy ...

Very irresponsible agent, I guess I can run a better agency than they do. Property not clean and cleared when the day we moved in. Called for help and not being helpful. I felt very frustrated and I don't understand why the agent sounded more frustrating than I do. The condition is inhabitable, I told her the flat is dirty and I cannot stay there and she said there is nothing stopping me to stay in there. Seriously? Would you stay in a flat that is full of shit. Very irresponsible agent with very low EQ. How can you give altitude to your customer when it is your fault. Unacceptable!

Please can you let us know which property this complaint refers to? Our Maintenance Coordinator has looked through her files and is unable to determine the flat in question. Phone calls to our office are always answered so could you let us know which day you tried? If it was over the weekend when we were closed, we have a voicemail advising of an out-of-hours emergency number. We take issues with boilers very seriously and are keen to resolve this as soon as possible. We look forward to hearing ...

sack all the current staff, hire decent staff, use decent contractors who can actually do the job, give information when requested, stop palming tenants off with lame and transparent lies and excuses, ive paid ELS ‚£23000 plus in rent whilst saving for my own place, I cannot wait to get out of the property, if they at ELS think they are getting the last months rent then they can sing for it....... DO NOT RENT FROM ELS!!!!! CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!!!!! DO NOT RENT FROM ELS!!!!!!!!

I have been living in one of their directors properties for the past few years and I can assure you they don't care about you either way! I have had a serious ongoing problem that they have not lifted a finger to help with. The only way I could describe then would be to use a long string of swear words. They are all horrendous. A bunch of criminals that should be avoided at all costs. ...
