GoogleI had a wonderful experience renting through Umega Letting Agency. They were professional and responsive, making the entire rental process smooth and hassle-free. Especially, our portfolio manager Courtney, she is very helpful and hardworking.

GoogleI was initially content with Umega when everything was running smoothly. However, when issues arose and we sought assistance, we encountered a complete lack of responsiveness. Our emails went unanswered, and not a single phone call was acknowledged. Regrettably, we were compelled to contact the local council regarding housing issues, but the agency's unresponsiveness has hindered progress. The prolonged frustration has made it imperative for the agency to prioritize communication and answer their phones promptly.

GoogleOur family had very poor service from the lettings dept at this Estate Agency, In our opinion it is is unfit for purpose. They claim to be “No 1” but No 1 at What? and who decided they were No 1? maybe No 1 for poor service !
They promised our relative they would look after the property if we chose them to let the property out and to also opt for the “fully managed option” at additional charge but their care of the property and regular inspections on our behalf as landlords were just amateurish in the extreme and inept.
This is not the estate agency that it once was. ! Our family will have nothing to do with them ever again, using this company cost us and lost us a lot of money! Beware of this company!

GoogleEveryone at Umega is super friendly, super helpful and very professional. But I would single out our dedicated agent Caroline for special mention as she is an absolute star. We have been with Umega for several years and would recommend this company to anyone.

GoogleFlora and Lucy have both been brilliant in letting out my flat, particularly considering how things have been for the last few months.
Really helpful, responsive and great at keeping me up to date. This is even more important now I’m living at the other side of the world.
I would certainly recommend Umega and I look forward to continuing the relationship with tenants in situ.

GoogleI attended a group viewing of a flat in Musselburgh with Umega. The guide, Rebecca, was very friendly, helpful and personable. She was very ready to answer all questions and she did so in an appreciative, respectful manner. She seems to be a person who likes people and who thoroughly enjoys working with them. In my contact with Umega generally I have found them to be appreciative and pleasant.
