We changed from an unsatisfactory agent 2 years ago and have been 100% pleased with Albany Lettings. We have found them to respond very quickly but with a great ability to 'get on with the job of managing' without troubling us with detail.
We are particularly impressed with the fact that if tenants are concerned about anything the agent is straight onto the case and if required will 'pop round' to sort things himself. The advantage seems to be that the firm is small enough to give a truly personal service. (Our previous agent was so large we found ourselves dealing with 5 different so called 'Maintenance Managers' and it seemed impossible to get anyone to take responsibility.
Thank you to all the staff at Albany.

I am sorry again about the mix up with your appointment which was a genuine error over another viewing at the property at the same time which was cancelled. I have emailed you to explain this although sorry that we couldn't meet your demand for financial compensation. I am also sorry that you do not wish to re-book the appointment and allow us to show you the property. ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
There is absolutely no way I will use this letting agent again, and I will ensure none of my friends with Edinburgh do either.
