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

I attempted to rent a property in new Cumnock. I earn £20k a month and the house was £700. We were told due to how rural it was no one else had viewed in months. Upon arriving we met a nice estate agent. Upon ringing the office I spoke to someone who seemed to be very slow in guessing ... Read Full Review

Extremely poor service and best to avoid. I've stayed in the flat since 2020. During this time, I put up with a water boiler that was from the 70's and extremely uneconomical, I put up with them leaving me for two weeks with no hot water due to a broken boost switch, I put up with ...

I used to rent a flat through RentLocally, so when I decided to rent out my own property, they were a natural choice for me. I haven’t been disappointed, from Ross’ first visit they’ve been friendly, helpful and informative. No question was too silly and ... Read Full Review

I have rented with RentLocally since 2021 and have stayed in two different properties with them. The service they provide is amazing and we can't fault them. 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 ...

If I could give 0 stars if it were an option I would! Liars, rude and disgraceful agency. Letting out uninhabitable flats. Tatty furniture. Dirty conditions. No help, sympathy or understanding.

Where do I start, this company is a complete joke. They are all nice getting you into the property but once your in they quickly lose interest. Any repairs or requirements take months to complete. The icing on the cake for us was being served the itemised list of what they are planning to deduct ... Read Full Review

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
