GoogleUmega is one of the only letting agencies I trust to rent in Edinburgh with as our experience over the past 18 months has been faultless. Our agent, Theresa, has been an absolute angel and is always on the ball with any issues we’ve raised. She is so attentive and helpful, and always so respectful to our home when doing flat checks. I highly recommend letting through Umega, especially with agents like Theresa on the team.

GoogleHad a really great experience with Matthew. From the moment we met, he was warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. He took the time to get to know us, asking what we were looking for and what was important to us when finding a home, which made the whole experience feel much more personal.
He was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and happy to answer any questions we had. It was clear that he genuinely cared about helping us find the right place and wasn’t just going through the motions of a viewing.
The whole process was relaxed and positive, and we really appreciated the effort and kindness shown throughout. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a letting agent who is approachable, professional, and truly cares about their clients!!!

GoogleThanks to exceptional service provided by my portfolio manager Ioni Ashford - Oelen. From the very beginning, Ioni demonstrated high level of professionalism and her expertise. She was incredibly responsive to my inquiries and took time to understand my needs and preferences during my stay at the property. I am highly pleased with the results and level of service Ioni has provided me. If you are looking for a reliable and efficient property management service, I highly recommend Ioni Ashford as her commitment to excellence truly sets her apart. Thank you Umega and Ioni.

TrustpilotNo idea why this company is awardwinning
No idea why this company is award winning , there was nothing award winning about the conversation. It seemed like it was a hassle to talk to her when it was a legitimate enquiry, I wouldn't travel an hour to visit a property and waste my time and the agents time if they cannot answer a question before hand or at least call me back with an answer.

Hi Michal,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you found the process of securing the property straightforward, but we're very sorry that your experience afterwards did not meet your expectations.
We completely understand how frustrating it must have been to experience delays with the maintenance work. Unfortunately, the repairs took longer than either you or we would have liked due to delays with our contractors. We also appreciate that the confusion surrounding the different maintenance issues reported added to your frustration, and we're sorry that this impacted your overall experience.
Your feedback is invaluable, and we will be sharing it with both our internal teams and our contractors so that we can improve communication, coordination, and the overall management of maintenance requests.
Thank you again for your honest feedback. We appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention and wish you all the best for the future.

GoogleI rent out a flat in Edinburgh, which Umega have managed for the last 7 years. I have always been satisfied with their work and have confidence in them as property managers.
Recently I had an administrative issue concerning my HMO licence. Theresa Shanahan, from Umega, dealt with the matter efficiently and professionally. She was thorough and kept me informed throughout the process.
I can certainly recommend Umega.
