Do not use Albany Lettings - breached regulations + unsafe property

I don’t recommend Albany Lettings to anyone.

They did not comply with tenancy deposit regulations and failed to protect my deposit in an approved scheme, despite falsely claiming they had. My deposit has still not been returned.

The property at 4 McNeil Street was not habitable. There was a rat infestation in the kitchen and severe humidity/mould throughout. I had to leave because it was unsanitary and unsafe. I reported these issues and they were ignored, yet the property was re-listed.

Based on their failure to follow regulations, the false information given, and the way they handled the property and complaints, I strongly advise people to avoid Albany Lettings.

Albany Lettings agents didn't do well over our short, (just 6 months) tenancy at 22 Kedslie Place. Avoid this house please everyone. Its dump, very high humidity, very cold and the landlord is very unfriendly. It was a nightmare to live there. I wouldn't do it again for free... our private belongings have been destroyed, we have had to live in mouldy house on the daily basis and fight with humidity and mold everyday. Not much help from agency and landlady. Be aware. Its a trap!!!! They always trying to put it on the market when its warm, so the mold is not seen but wait untill the Autum.... horrible, horrible place to live in. Im happy to share some pics if anyone is interested. And in the end they are blaming the tenants and charging overpriced fees for whatever reasons... stay away from 22 Kedslie Place please.

Mould, bugs, and use of unknown subcontractors.

Mediocrity management.

Letting agencies rarely involve Landlords for annual inspections. This is what they are paid for (10-12% of rent). The day a landlord decides to visit the property, this is when they realise the disastrous management, but often too late. Compelling evidence of breach of Code of Practice, they managed to clean their mistakes by claiming that there is ‘prescription’ since that most issues occurred >5 years ago, and thus fully protected by Prescription and Limitation, Scotland; Act 1973.

Unfortunately, there isn't any upload button to add photographs as compelling pieces of evidence.
