Report
Gladstones took over the letting of my Portobello property some 2 years ago after tenants that Id found privately through friends handed in their notice after 7 years. The service Ive had from Gladstones has been absolutely first class. I had had no idea of commercial rent levels and the rent they obtained for me was a significant improvement from what I had been charging. Lynn has been exceptionally helpful, pleasant to deal with and has kept me abreast of all the various regulations of which I previously had no idea! I can thoroughly recommend their service to any potential or existing Landlord!

Have found the whole experience of looking for a place to live, made so much easier from beginning to end by the staff at Gladstone Ltd. I would recommend them to everyone.

Report
I was a little anxious remotely finding a long term rental property in Scotland whilst still in England, especially as I had been told Scotland had a different system. Luckily I chose Gladstones Ltd who guided me seamlessly through the whole process. Lynn the office manager was so efficient and professional and responded to all my questions immediately, everything was finalized really quickly. I strongly recommend this company.

Efficient and friendly service. Rapid response to problems, we received a new washing machine within a day or 2 of phoning to say ours had broken. And we got our deposit back, always nice.

I've spent nearly 2 years at Gladstones as a tenant, but my previous flatmate spent 7 years with them and it's been always easy to reach them, if we had any problems and they were very helpful and willing to solve any issues which occured. They were always fair and quick when we moved properties within the agency. No hassle with deposit refunding and deductions were fair too. Very professional agency!
