Hello Everyone,1st time that I will put a Bad review as here is my experience with Conor,Andrew s Residential. I m a Mum of 4 my oldest is at university,I am also a dying mummy,I have a condition and I have less than 4 years remaining. We ve rented a house at 2700£/months gave 6 week deposit+agency fees+6 months rent Upfront. We arrived in the house was No Heater No water Big leak who generated No electricity. I have an autistic child who has been taken in EMMERGENCY by Health professional in crisis for the way we are "living"..Agency/Landlord asked me to make Fraud insurance because they didn t want to pay for any repair, disregarding that I ve paid them More than 20k! Today I ve received an email where they were telling me that they can t put heater and water because it is the way the house has been build. I ve took this house for "finish in beauty"if I can say...I m 1.72 I m now at 45 kg -9 kg since 1month and half since we ve Checked in in the house. Conor,Andrew residential has "hidden himself"I ve sent more than 20 emails calls messages etc...It is ONLY when he knew that I ll bring him to court that he decided to face me the dying Mum and the Dead Situation. Don t trust them,don t help those people to grew their Vanity Please Think at You and Family!Don t rent or buy from them they will Assure Anything for you,they will disregard the contract,the law...just WATCHING YOU AND YOUR FAMILY DYING.

Not a great look for the company when the company branded car is being driven over the speed limit and tailgating people who are driving at the speed limit. Is anything really that urgent at 9:15am on a Sunday morning?

Hi James, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We take concerns about road safety very seriously. Our employees do not work weekends, and we are currently aware that our company vehicles are with the service garage and not in use until Monday morning. We absolutely do not condone any dangerous or inconsiderate driving, whether by our staff or others using our branded vehicles. We will pass your comments directly to the garage to ensure this is looked into. We do hope you'll consider removing this review, as our Google page is intended to reflect the service we provide to our clients. However, if not, we will be requesting that Google review its relevance under their content guidelines. Kind regards, The ELC Sales & Lettings Team

Well where to start… Viewing and prior to keys was excellent. Since getting the keys only word is shitshow… got the keys and inventory was 1week/2 weeks late as well as certificates for safety. Not hot water, no heating and now power. Scottish power came to do a bypass on meter to sort heating but still no hot water. This has been reported however with landlords having 24 hours to fix this and this is not resolved nearly 12 hours later… I would not recommend and this is my first property and ultimately enough to put me off renting for life. No the greatest of experiences.

Hi Alex, We’re sorry to hear that your move-in experience didn’t go as smoothly as it should have. We completely understand how frustrating it must have been to deal with these initial issues, especially as this is your first rental property. To clarify, your safety certificates are always accessible through our online portal to ensure you have them available at any time. Regarding the issues with heating and hot water, while we strive to resolve maintenance concerns as quickly as possible, we are unfortunately subject to external factors, such as Scottish Power’s response times, which are beyond our direct control. That said, we appreciate your feedback and take it seriously. We’re glad to hear that things have now improved, and please know that we are always here to support you throughout your tenancy. If you need any further assistance, don’t hesitate to get in touch. Best regards, ELC Sales and Lettings

0 if possible. Attempt to tie tenants into contracts and not helpful in the slightest.

Hello Kevin, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear you were dissatisfied with our service. To clarify, tenancy agreements in Scotland are regulated by the Private Housing (Tenancies) (Scotland) Act 2016, which sets out legal obligations for landlords, tenants, and letting agents. The Private Residential Tenancy (PRT) is the standard lease agreement, and we are legally required to follow its terms. Having reviewed your case, we note that your request involved removing yourself from a shared tenancy. Under Scottish law: A joint tenant cannot unilaterally exit a tenancy without agreement from all other tenants or the landlord. Remaining tenants must either find a suitable replacement or agree to cover the departing tenant’s share. As the letting agent, we must conduct the necessary referencing checks on any incoming tenant before approving a replacement. This process requires coordination between multiple parties, and while we strive to facilitate it as efficiently as possible, responses from tenants and landlords can sometimes delay progress. If you’d like to discuss this further, please feel free to contact us at 0131 510 7051. Best regards, ELC Sales and Lettings

I haven't been to or interacted with this agency but I'm giving a 1 star review because they are giving £20 gift cards for 5 star reviews on Facebook and Google as pictured. This practice completely undermines the credibility of the platform and as a local guide who reviews places independently and honestly, I am upset. Unfortunately, I would recommend you think twice after reading any 5 star review for this letting agency...
