To whomever responded to this rating, please let yourself be known. Unfortunately, due to not signing your name, I am unable to tell you all of the issues that we've had with Tay Letting directly and privately. I am disappointed that whoever is in charge of making your Google Maps Reviews presentable, commented on a rating I posted to tell me there are no issues.
Hi Fay, we’re sorry to have received 1 star. We can’t see that any issues have been raised with your tenancy, and so you can perhaps contact us, and let us know if there is something you are needing help with?

Thanks Gary, we really appreciate such great feedback!

I applied to rent a flat with Tay Letting and after asking us to undertake a credit check and verify our references with Let Alliance, Tay send us an email saying: "I regret to inform you that your tenancy application has been unsuccessful on this occasion. There was considerable interest in the property, and whilst consideration is given to each application, the landlord makes the ultimate decision when granting the tenancy. " We were offered by Let Alliance Sky and Broadband and we paid for both, if the Landlord hadn't chosen us yet why were they letting the company they use to do the background check offer us services for the flat. I asked if something had gone wrong with the background check but I got no reply. I wasted two weeks with this application, I don't think Tay Letting appreciates how important time is for people needing to move and how hard it is for me to work at my current place.NegativeQuality
Hi Cecilia, we really appreciate your useful feedback, and we will review your comments on the referencing procedure to see where improvements can be made. If you are still looking for a property to rent, we would be pleased to help you.

I am really struggling to get Tay Lettings to take any responsibility for the unethical way the landlord treated us during our stay. In fact during my emails with Scott who is handling deposits, I have been ignored on most of my valid points in spite of already receiving an apology from Lisa. It is my understanding that an apology is an admission of wrongdoing. This is causing significant stress to me and my partner. After I have paid for a professional cleaning service, Tay lettings is attempting to charge me hundreds of pounds for a cleaning fee and to make deductions to the deposit for a tv bracket which I spent good money installing safely to improve the property. We are now in dispute and receipts will be provided if necessary. The negligence of the landlord was the reason we moved out. Cheap fire alarms that were used were faulty. One of the tradesmen that worked for the landlord was explicitly racist towards the Pakistani community, which was totally unacceptable, and they never turned up for the jobs unless they were nagged for weeks. This is the most unethical landlord I have ever dealt with and Tay Lettings are ignoring all of my points in the emails. I can only now assume that they operate to the same standard of ethics for which Lisa apologised. I am now seeking legal representation for separate cases. The way this impacted my partner's health issues was significant as it caused a lot of stress. And we also lived in a dangerous environment due to dust from the ceiling, improper structural repairs, extensive drug use in the building, broken locks on the main door that were never fixed, the list goes on. Working with landlords like this and taking their side will only degrade the reputation of this business. Obviously there are good people working there, but ethically they are falling down on their obligations, legally (for one, according to the 2019 tenants act, professional cleaning fees cannot be forced on tenants - subject to a £5000 fine - there is a professional cleaning fee deducted but I have proof that I did pay for professional cleaning already) and morally. I will update the review if the issues are resolved to reflect my experience but as it stands I could not recommend working with this company or its associates.

I had real an issue with an energy supplier on a rental flat that Yasmin at Tay Letting manages. She picked up the problem when I made her aware of it and she sorted it within 1 day - I had been at it for weeks. She is a very competent agent, and I would highly recommend her, and because of her Tay Letting. People make the business and she's excellent.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
Thanks so much for your feedback Jane! Yasmin is excellent 😊 …

After almost 5 years of living in a property that Tay Letting manages, I can gladly say I've had nothing but positive experience. They were quick in their replies to my emails and calls, they acted promptly to any issues I had and their maintenance team is excellent. I was really happy with everything and I'd gladly come back as a tennant or ask them to manage a property on my behalf.PositiveQuality, Professionalism
We are so delighted to hear that you have had a positive experience Nikola, thanks for the great feedback! We would be delighted to have you back as a Tay Letting tenant any time!

I've had a great experience with Tay letting with the flat I'm currently living in. Kirsty has handled every single one of my queries efficiently and with a true kindness I've rarely encountered before! I would definitely recommend renting from Tay Letting, they're responsive and care about their clients.
Hello Juliette, thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience. Kirsty is delighted to hear that you were happy with her service.

My partner and I moved into a property just outside of St. George's Cross and we enjoyed our time immensely. The flat was perfect for a couple, small but homely and very well kept and furnished. We had no fuss moving in and out of the property, finding everyone at Tay communicable and effective. During our tenancy, we very rarely had to be in touch with them as everything was perfect. They were also very reasonable and prompt in returning our deposit to us. We can't thank Tay Letting enough for giving us the opportunity to rent an apartment that gave us such happy memories :)
Hi Ewan, thank you so much for sharing your experience with us, and delighted to hear you have enjoyed your time with us!

We have been with Tay Letting for close to a year. We have been very impressed with their professionalism and the level of customer support - special mention to Meaghan and Ben.
5/5
I have been working with these guys for a few months and I can't articulate how awesome they are. They are agents of the property that I am renting out. And they handle everything so fast and with such a high quality service. Sometimes it sounds strange, but, for example, I had a challenge to switch on an extractor in the kitchen. They came just to check that it's really working, recorded and shared with me a video of how to use it. They are caring and highly professional.
5/5
I was new to letting property and it couldn't have gone smoother with Tay Letting. I felt like a weight had been lifted from the first contact with them. Tenants moved in within days and they've mopped up any issues ever since. Thank you! Communication from the whole team has been outstanding, which really adds to the trust I feel with them. I've been mainly speaking to Malcolm, Ben and Kirsty who have all been friendly, efficient and professional at all times. Can't thank you enough. Well done!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Professional, friendly and efficient. Tay Letting are the best Real Estate agents I have ever experienced. They are so easy to deal with and proactively solve any problem that arises. My only wish is that they were in Australia so I could get them to rent out my property.
5/5
I can highly recommed Tay Letting if you are planning to rent out a property. They are way better than all the other companies that are around. Malcolm and Lee have provided a great service over the years. Meaghan and the team are excellent! They deal with any issues you might have and get things sorted in a fast and professional manner. Great for you and for your tenant. Keep up the good work :)
Thanks Ian for those kind words.
5/5
My experience with Tay Lettings has been fantastic. They found me brilliant tenants who moved in within 2 weeks of the property going on the market. Their communications are outstanding which makes such a welcome change from previous experiences with other letting agents. You won’t find a better, more friendly and efficient team than Malcolm, Meaghan and Ben, I can’t recommend them more highly! Thank you all!

I wish I could give a lower rating. Incompetent would be the best word to describe them. Highlights include: When I had found a replacement for my original flat mate, they initially told me i would need to physically move out with all of my belongings for a few days (in the dead of winter) so they could carry out a inventory. Only backing down when I pointed out how absurd this was. Messed up my the safe deposits Scotland account when my original flat mate moved out so that his name remained on the account causing him to not receive his deposit until around a year after his departure (when i moved out). Left my name on the lease for around 3 months after i moved out, despite the other tenant remaining in the flat and paying the full rent. When asked why this was, their response was ' i don't have an answer for you, sorry about that' As a result of the above I then get charged for cleaning fees when the other tenant moved out, despite not living in the flat FOR 3 MONTHS and having no control over the cleanliness of the property when the report was carried out. Being chased for rent for a flat I no longer lived in. Being sent receipts for rent payments for a flat I no longer lived in. Being called by Tay to be asked if my old flatmate had found a replacement for me after I moved out. Being ignored when asking about the return of my deposit. Having to get Safe deposits Scotland Involved to get any response to my inquiries about my deposit. Lack of communication, lack of professionalism. Just a god awful experience. My expectations were already at rock bottom for any letting agents, but Jesus Christ. I'm sure they are good for landlords, though.NegativeResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism
Hi Colin, sorry to hear of your disappointment. Without having much notice to the changes made in your tenancy we still had to follow protocol, hence the delay for your old flatmate to receive their deposit. We can only apologise for the mix up and lack of communication after you moved out. Our tenants are our priority, it is our aim to ensure that tenants feel supported. On this occasion is it evident that you didn’t feel supported, your comments indicate that we have fell below the standards we adhere to. Therefore we sincerely apologise for any stress this has caused. We have taken your feedback on board and aim to take what we can from in improving where we can going forward. We wish you all the very best for your future.
