GoogleDespite our best effort the relationship with the team at APL has been nothing other than strained and dysfunctional. The organisation lacks a management structure, that results in most of the dialogue going between myself and the managing director, who is difficult to get hold of, either by email or on the phone. There has been money taken from our rental income without consent, late payments of rent, miscommunication of intent with tenants, and the very latest we have been unable to conclude a tenancy agreement 5 weeks after the tenant has left the premises. This organisation should be seriously avoided either as a tenant or landlord. Mistrust, miscommunication, disorganised and the most unprofessional organisation I have dealt with.

Sad to read your review above however I am the managing director and have had no communication from you although you say there has been dialogue? My email address is dlamb@a-p-l.co.uk I’d be happy to try and help.

GoogleWas worried before moving in, but they are a decent letting agency. Never had any problems
Update: been charged £190 for a cleaning bill to be taken from our deposit. We cleaned the flat top to bottom before leaving, so why it's such a astronomical bill I'll never know. We left the flat in great shape: better than when we moved in, yet there are six pages worth of dust? There were three weeks prior to us having officially moved out then getting a 6 page document that holds major discrepancies with the inventory my partner made when we moved in so obviously, dust could gather? They clearly haven't looked at our inventory in relation to conjuring up their own. And after reading some reviews it would actually appear to be their standard procedure. Very disappointed, sad and angry.

GoogleI had a great experience with Aberdeen Property Leasing, thanks to Jamie Crockett excellent service. He was professional and responsive. However, using 'MyRentalCV' was a bit confusing. I prefer 'Canopy', which is more user-friendly and requires fewer documents. Overall, very satisfied with Jamie's help!

GoogleIssues throughout tenancy, even from day 1 the attitude from staff was appalling. They never held landlord accountable for any problems that was his responsibility to fix. Their automated message on their phone line is how they put tenants first but it’s a lie. No shock that they try to charge for damages that were already in the property when we moved in, we expected it but it doesn’t make the process any less stressful. If you can, avoid renting with this letting agency as they are on the landlords side.
Want to iterate also the landlord we had was very cheeky and took ages to respond to repairs by getting the cheapest quote possible, now we’ve left he’s trying to charge us for redecoration as he wants to sell the property, (tenancy says that’s not our responsibility as it’s not damaged) and he’s gone for a really expensive quote because he thinks he isn’t the one paying. APL are encouraging the landlord and letting him get away with treating us like mugs and it seems like they do this to a lot of people. Beware.

GoogleTo be an overseas landlord, you need someone you can rely on to act as your eyes and ears. Someone with the same care as you yourself would feel when face to face with the tenants who you aspire to offer cost effective accomodation to and contractors who you depend on to make things work. For 15 years APL have been by my side looking after my little property and my tenants while I have been in Australia. They have been right there when the water came in or the power went out, and treated everyone with respect as they worked tirelessly to resolve every issue that has ever come up. I know my property is in the best of hands.

GoogleAh me and my partner, after spending an entire day wiping the entire flat spotless, cleaner than we had received it and probably cleaner than it ever was, were still charged for hundreds of pounds of cleaning bills with a photo of a single hair attached, a small shoe rack that probably weighs 1 kilogram we left out of goodwill as the flat had no shoe rack and damages from previous tenants.
This company is anything but trustworthy and reliable for tenants. As many others have pointed out. Avoid like the plague! Else you risk getting charged for the oil splash stains from a tenant from years ago. If i knew i was supposed to renovate the flat to not lose my deposit, i might have not given my business to APL to begin with :)
Edit: we were there years ago, but i had only just noticed that the company had the audacity to ask me why I left a 1 star review
