Tenant Testimonials

I have been renting through Colinton Lettings for the past six months now. Mike and Shona have been incredibly fair and supportive the entire time. I was coming over from a different country, and although I was delayed in arriving here, they were happy to keep the flat reserved for me for a few months with a small holding deposit. They have also offered advice when, as a person in an unfamiliar city, I was struggling to open a bank account. Although their property at Clement Rise is the only one I have lived at, I can confirm that Mike has maintained it well, coming down to the house to take care of any issues that arise himself. They have always been timely in their responses, and courteous and efficient in their communication, and I have had my least stressful and most pleasant letting experience with them. They have taken care to be careful during the current outbreak and have been considerate of their tenants’ circumstances as well. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who asks.

Thanks for having me as a tenant, got on well with everyone in the house and overall enoyed my time there.

I am totally satisfied with the services of Colinton Lettings and I offer it for everybody. It’s the best solution for singles. I was rented a room 2 times in two houses in Livingston and I say I was living in a well equipped and clean house and it was’nt any problem with other tenants because this Company is very carefull.

I felt: the most important thing for this company , to became a satisfied tenant. During my 1,5 years living there everything was absolute fair and after when I left I have got all my deposit back.

Thank you very much for everything and if I go back in the near future and if my friends are searching flat in Livingston, I know the best solution: COLINTON LETTINGS.

Thank you again for all your help and assistance throughout our stay in Broughton Place... we are all sad to be leaving as we really enjoyed our time in the flat.

Thank you for being excellent Letting Agents!

I really am grateful for your company and the way your dealing with your tenants.

This was the first time I have needed the services of a Letting agent and Colinton Lettings have made the experience a pleasant one. They’ve got the mix of professional capability and personal touch down to a T.

I certainly think that I landed on my feet with Granby Avenue, all in all it has been a most pleasurable experience and I may very well be looking for accommodation during the winter months - I will certainly keep you in mind if I do.

I enjoyed my stay at Lenzie Ave and would have liked to have stayed for many years but you have to retire some time.

I would like to thank both Mike and Shona for a totally stress free experience, from the first contact, to moving in and finally leaving, a totally professional and friendly business.

I'm just writing this letter to tell you that I dearly appreciate the professional job you have done for us by finding the right tenants living together and getting on pretty well with each other. I've been living here for more than 6 months now and I feel quite at home in this house.

I rented a room in one of the flats run by Colinton Lettings and I have to say they really look after their tenants. The flat was well maintained, the house rules were reasonable and easy to follow. The landlords were accessible, if there was any problem encountered they were addressed promptly. It was great staying there.

I took out a 6 month lease with Colinton Lettings for a flat in Livingston. This was my first time renting and I was apprehensive having heard so much from friends about landlords who are never around and don’t return deposits. I’m pleased to say my experience renting with Shona and her husband Mike was nothing like the horror stories I’d heard.

Throughout my time renting Shona was always available to answer questions and help with any problems I had. The flat was clean, well maintained and the introductory meeting to the flat was great idea. It was obvious Shona cared for not only the flat but the how we all got on together and whether we were enjoying living in the flat. She worked to maintain a friendly, professional relationship and was very flexible to my personal situation. I would have no hesitation in recommending Colinton Lettings to anyone as I received my deposit back, in full, when I left and thought the service they offered was exceptional. If I planned a move to the Edinburgh area Colinton Lettings would be the first place I’d go to look for accommodation.

Just to say I've settled in at my new office and I'd like to say a huge thank you for helping me out when I most needed it.

I'd recommend your services to my friends and anyone looking for somewhere to stay. Any issues were promptly dealt with and overall I found my stay great value for money with no need to worry about utility bills ,etc.

On leaving, it was hassle free and my deposit was returned within 48 hours.

I wish you and Mike all the very best for the future.

Colinton Lettings are always extremely thorough, helpful and efficient. I would happily recommend their services to any friend, relative or colleague. The property I rented from them was the best rented accommodation that I have stayed in to this date.

Just a short note to say thank you for all your help and advice during my stay at your property in Oxgangs Terrace. From the outset you were so helpful and made my move so much easier and the property was comfortable and well appointed.

Whenever there were any maintenance issues they were dealt with immediately and efficiently. I found the information pack very useful and something I had not really had at any of my previous rented properties.

I would not hesitate in recommending your agency to anyone who was interested in renting a property.

The staff at Colinton Lettings were a great help with everything we needed when we moved in to our new flat.
