We have used Broughton Propert Management to organise our flat rental in Edinburgh for almost 15 years after moving out of the UK. At all times we have found them excellent in all aspects of their service.

Any emergency services for tenants are rapidly dealt with, financial reports and payments to ourselves are always on time. Finding new tenants when one leaves has proven to be no problem and the property has been let fully since our engagement with them.

When contact is required to resole a question the response by telephone or email is immediate.

Advice on pending regulations, routine safety checks and maintenance are swift and on time.

All, in all an excellent service

Claire, I think your review has more to do with the claim by your landlord against your deposit because of the condition you left the property. A claim which was substantiated through the independant deposit company. If you wish to complain about our services as the agent, instead of issues about the landlord, please request our complaints procedure instead of venting on a public forum. ...

You get charged a monthly fee (plus VAT) for managing the property - but whenever you ask them to do anything they charge additional fees on top. They will also try to get you to sign up to various insurance policies.

Richard, in your email to us of yesterday's date you suggested we were charging for a repayment of the tenants deposit and demanded a refund. Had you read your statement correctly it was our monthly commission fee from rent for management, not taken until after the rent was released to you. Note also your email was answered the day after being received. Our fees are advised clearly in our terms and conditions and you contract to them freely. However it was disappointing to review our notes rele ...

As a landlord you persistently sought to have your tenant pay for maintenance that you were in law responsible for such as repairing installations etc. The final straw for your tenant was when his central heating was not repaired for over 12 months. He was frightened to go to the PRHP as he should in case you kicked him out. You were clear in your instruction that we were not to authorise repairs without your specific instruction. Our fees don't come out of the woodwork but are clearly written ...
