I don't normally have much interaction with agencies beyond moving in and leaving the properties, and Steyn Lettings were no exception in this regard, so my interactions with them were quite limited. When moving into the property I had to deal with a man who ...

DO NOT USE STEYN. They lie and do everything they can to not give you all of your deposit back. They go against what it says in your contract because they have purposely made it slightly ambiguous. They are lying cheating stealing awfully rude people. ...

I had a similar experience. No hot water or heating for a week, I was advised to go online to get the instructions for the boiler and try to work out what the problem was! If you are going to use Steyn lettings then make sure that you are a boiler engineer! It seems that as a tenant, we are at the bottom of the pile for customer service from Steyns. Plus, getting a flat inspection every 3 months is ridiculous. I had a very good reference from my previous landlord and should be allowed to li ...

Renting a flat in Edinburgh is always a risky business; there are so many letting agencies to chose from, some with a better reputation than others. I just moved out of my flat in June, which I rented through Steyn Lettings. I lived there for 3 ...

While I agree that Steyn are only the middle men and they are polite, I don't feel they try nearly hard enough to sort things out. They have a responsibility to their tenants as well as to the landlords. I personally waited 3 months to get a chest of drawers replaced in one of their flats, during which time my clothes sat on the floor in my room. Repeated calls only resulted in 'it's up to the landlord'. I used to work for a property lettings company and there comes a time where you have t ...
