LANDLORDS DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY- showing excuse for a business. We left our name about 2 dif. properties, had to chase up the staff to get proper and full information. Was told property let agreed and left our number in case anything fell through or changed. Property appeared back on website 3 weeks later and no-one contacted us. Viewed property and called that day to say we would take it. No one got back to us on the Friday. The business shuts at the weekend!!!! Surely on a Sat when people are off work and want to come and view a property and also during the day in the light, as often too dark later in evening when people home from work. Anyway no one got back to us on Monday either. No email or contact details apart from a phone number at the office. Called the office AGAIN and had to put a message on the answer machine for them to call me back with our details for the 3rd time. When I finally got through to someone (they had also sent an email to an incorrect email address) they said landlord would rent to us as couldnt wait for a months notice. When I asked how soon could and would the landlord expect to rent it they said they didnt know but not a month. I then had to send a full email to ask them to speak to landlord and some points about us being reliable tenants, long term work, high wage, good references etc etc so maybe landlord should know this info as they may be knocking back a great tenant for sake of an extra one or two weeks rent. They should not have to be told how to do their job and how to negotiate, engage with tenants and landlords. Their customer service is totally appauling. I would not advise people to use them and also would be concerned as a landlord that they would select the best tenant for you or even ask the right questions. As a tenant I would be concerned if you boiler or something key was broken, how are you going to get someone to answer the phone or respond???? It a No No No from me. Staff need trained and need to care about the business- reputation is key. When I go to get my kids at local school, speak to local friends, be on social media for local groups etc etc I am most likely to talk about the shocking experience, referral business is not on their mind. Sort yourself out Property Bureau, you are letting landlords and tenants down with your poor service. Taking the money and running

The rented property is Flat 4/1,55 Mitchell Street, Glasgow, G1 3LN. Please, tenants, don't ever come here or choose this apartment. We have suffered a lot in just two months in this house.

I had a terrible experience with this company. I rented my mother's house through the Property Bureau a number of years ago. They never checked the condition of the house. When the tenants left the place was disgusting and we had to pay out a fortune to renovate the house. I... Read Full Review

Shysters or simply representing unscrupulous landlords - i'm not sure. Regardless, be very wary when you rent from these guys. Nearly 4 months down the line that is me finally getting my deposit back after fighting about cleaning and the replacement of a carpet in one of the rooms. They... Read Full Review

Sadly I have nothing positive to say about Property Bureau, who I am currently renting my home from. Avoid at all costs. They will not fulfill their legal responsibility as a letting agent to provide accommodation that is water tight, heated sufficiently, and functioning to a reasonable standard.... Read Full Review

As you can't give a rating of 0, 1 will have to do. My flatmate and I stayed in a property listed with property bureau for over a year and a half. Throughout that time we had constant emails, phone calls and hassle from the agents at Property Bureau. My ensuite bathroom has mould for... Read Full Review

They've never attended repairs. After I informed them I will be vacating the property in summer, they decided to ask us to move out on 31st March 2014. A property that was unfurnished and no photographic inventory provided, they decided to with-hold £1500 deposit of ours. The typed up inventory... Read Full Review
Be there for both tenants and landlord. Help the tenants more (when it comes to property maintenance) - they are the middleman between the tenant and landlord but they clearly failed.

I wish that I had read the previous reviews before I used the Property Bureau.

Agent did not attend to repairs, ignored emails, ignored complaints. Did not allow termination of lease at the end of the contracted date. Flat was very dirty when let out, cleaned to a high standard when leaving. Was left in a better standard than was offered. Had to endure a broken boiler, rusted ... Read Full Review
Acknowledged problems, attempted to fix them, left the flat in a reasonable state (it was disgusting) and not expect it to be in a better state when keys handed back (although it was by far). Not be so blatant in cheating the tenant out of the deposit and by sticking to the terms of the lease agreement.
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.
