Very limited knowledge. I was contacted after I enquired about a property only to be met with a rude and unhelpful attitude from the Lettings manager. Also I expected someone in this position to have a basic understanding of Scottish property legislation, which she did not. There are far better agents to work with in Glasgow.

They never responded to my written requests to do anything (repairs, initial cleaning, etc.) What's worse, they sometimes respond positively by phone (never in writing) ...
