GBA letting agent who will ask you to… A letting agent who will ask you to transfer full deposit to secure a property before you sign a tenancy agreement which against the law in Scotland. The staff are very rude, unprofessional and arguing on the phone to keep your deposit until up to 28 days. I dealt with couples of letting agent in Scotland and none of them asked full deposit to secure a property. Their lack of communication is mental after transferring that full deposit to secure the property. Such a dodgy practice and pls avoid them at all costs.

GBTop class service We have been letting our flat through Zone for the last 15 years and they have have been fabulous throughout that whole period. From a landlord's point of view, we couldn't have asked for more - the gaps between tenancies have been minimal (days rather than weeks/months) and they are right on top of the rental rates that the market will bear; we are delighted with the levels they have achieved. From a tenant's point of view, they notify us immediately of any work which is required and then send in the appropriate trades to remedy any issues. They always respond promptly to queries and we are 100% happy to leave the management of our property in their capable hands.

GBIncompetent Had a long tenancy with this group (10+ years). In that time they have performed a total of 3 repairs, despite having reported over 15 things which needed repairing. I ended up just repairing/replacing most things myself during the time. They claim to have no recollection of a pet deposit (£250), and upon moving out, are surprised that some things need repairing/replacing despite these having been reported or well within reasonable wear and tear given the length of stay. Left because they failed to repair 2 things which are considered major risks (and illegal to leave). They additionally purchased the property from the landlord without informing me, causing a bunch of problems (and fines) with the council. They have been bordering on incompetent and money hungry for my entire tenancy, and if finding somewhere else which allowed dogs had been easier I wouldn’t have stayed with them nearly as long. Can’t suggest strongly enough that folk avoid if they have any other feasible option.

GBThe worst agency I’ve ever encountered The worst agency I’ve ever encountered. The manager and administrator are incredibly mean and rude. They asked for my company accounts for no reason. Firstly, I am not buying the property; I am letting it. Secondly, they should only ask for my self-assessment, not my company accounts. Especially David, he is an unprofessional and rude person. Please stay away from them. If you let the property from them, you will lose your money and your peace. I wish I could give them zero stars.

GBThe Worst Letting Agency Upon moving out, I repeatedly contacted them to release my deposit. Unfortunately, even after a month has passed, my deposit remains unreleased. Following persistent follow-ups, they informed me that they had hired a "sparkle clean" service and would be sending me an invoice for the cleaning expenses. Ironically, I had already hired a professional cleaner to ensure the property was left in impeccable condition before my departure. The house was in a cleaner state than when I first moved in. It is disheartening to note that despite my efforts and the clear state of the property, they continue to withhold my deposit. Their reluctance to return the deposit, coupled with their evasive actions, strongly suggests unethical practices. They are absolute scammers, and I strongly advise others to avoid engaging with them at any cost.
