It was good experience with ELC Sales & Letting.

Talking as a tenant, they were Ok until we found a property and paid 6 months upfront to rent it but when our landlord wouldn't return our deposit (which he also did to the previous tenants) we tried to let them know but they were not interested..

Hi Elena, thank you for reaching out to us and expressing your concerns regarding the return of your deposit. We understand the frustration and inconvenience you have experienced in this matter. However, we would like to clarify that as a Tenant Find Only client, our scope of service primarily revolves around assisting landlords sourcing suitable tenants and facilitating the leasing process. While we sympathize with your situation, the responsibility for managing and returning the deposit lies solely with the landlord as they maintain control over financial transactions and tenancy agreements. We regret any misunderstanding or miscommunication that may have occurred. Please note that our primary focus is to ensure a smooth and successful property search for our clients. We recommend addressing the deposit return issue directly with your landlord and seeking legal advice, if necessary, to protect your rights as a tenant. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and remain available to provide further guidance or assistance within the scope of our services. Kind regards, ELC

An overall good and acceptable experience, they were quick to fix a broken shower and ordering a new fridge, however the flat was not very clean upon moving in (such as pubic hair in the shower, discussed it via email with pictures, etc) and they also charge £30 for a tenant reference that took 1 minute to complete via a link, hence the 3 stars.

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

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

Horrendous company. We have been waiting for our radiator to be fixed for 4 MONTHS NOW and keep getting messed about by the landlord, agent names Joseph, and the third party contractor. Our radiator is a health and safety hazard, in addition to myself having health issues, and we’ve been left without heating in our living room for 4 months during the worst time of the year due to sub freezing temperatures. I’m now on antibiotics for recurring sinus and chest infections. We’ve been promised at least 5 times that the radiator “would be fixed this week” but then are completely ignored - the agent and contractor both blame this on the landlord for ignoring them, but completely failed to give us any alternative. Our sink has also been broken for over a month now after our washing machine packed in and the contractor damaged it. Joseph has failed to help us with rectifying this. DO NOT RENT FROM THIS HORRENDOUS COMPANY IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR PHYSICAL AND MENTAL WELL-BEING.

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.
