With dedicated compliance managers and electric vehicle fleets for property visits, we provide landlords with complete peace of mind while maintaining 4.9/5 customer satisfaction ratings.
Tenant Referencing
We conduct thorough tenant referencing through our partnership with Vouch, using modern digital verification systems. Our process confirms applicants' identity, affordability, and rental history through secure smartphone submissions. This ensures landlords receive reliable tenants while maintaining compliance with Scottish housing regulations. The system provides clear documentation for all parties, with 300 reservation deposits applied toward final balances, creating a transparent and efficient tenant selection process that protects both property owners and renters.

Our compliance specialists ensure all properties meet current Scottish legal standards. Services include Legionnaires' risk assessments, PAT testing, and safety certificate maintenance. We manage all required documentation and inspections, providing landlords with up-to-date compliance records. Our compliance manager oversees these processes while maintaining our Platinum-level Investors in People accreditation, ensuring both property and workplace standards exceed industry requirements through continuous improvement initiatives.
Maintenance Coordination
We provide responsive maintenance services through our dedicated technicians and approved contractor network. Our team handles emergency repairs, routine maintenance, and post-tenancy cleaning services. Using digital reporting systems, tenants can quickly submit requests that are tracked to completion. We maintain properties in optimal condition while minimising landlord involvement, with transparent communication throughout the process. Our maintenance services contributed to 98% of tenants reporting 'efficient issue resolution' in recent feedback.
Rent Collection
Our rent collection service includes systematic tracking, timely transfers to landlord accounts, and arrears management. We implement clear payment schedules and maintain detailed financial records for all properties. The system integrates with our compliance processes to ensure timely payments trigger necessary property checks.

Bad experience, poor communication before moving in and didnt get back deposit, would recommend you avoid this agency like the plague.
Catherine Macleod

We received excellent service for 7 years, characterized by professionalism, efficiency, and helpfulness at all times. This made being an absent landlord a stress-free experience. The property was well maintained and returned to us in the same condition as when we left it, which is much appreciated. The entire team deserves commendation for their service, but a special mention must be made of Lucas, our property manager. Communicating with Lucas was a pleasure, and his management of our property exceeded our expectations. Thanks to Lucas for his efforts.

Western Lettings are the most professional and efficient letting agent Ive experienced. After staying in a property with them for over 4 years it is easy to see how much they strive to put their tenants first and offer endless support through any circumstance. Their communication, systems and processes are wonderful making it simple and easy to raise maintenance requests - which are always dealt with effectively.

All the staff I have dealt with have been super professional, however a special thanks must go to India, the property manager. She has always been available to deal with any queries or problems, in a friendly and quick manner. As the tenancy ended she was super with handling the move out, keeping us well informed and making it a seamless process from start to finish. I would highly recommend Western as they put their tenants first and have processes in place for every scenario, making life simple. Thank-you again!

Probably the best letting agency I had to deal with. The process looked so much easier and when having any issues, Harry and Giulia were promptly addressing them. Finally found a company that puts their tenants need as a priority! Thank you.

Mixed experience, reliable in some areas, lacking in others
As a landlord, I've had a very mixed experience. Focusing on 5 keys areas I care about:

1. Tenant Sourcing & Vetting
This has been the weakest area. Tenant searches take too long, often stretching into months (70 days in average), and it doesn't seem like the property is actively being marketed. It feels like not much effort is being made.

2. Rent Collection & Financial Management
No complaints here. Rent is collected reliably, and the online system is easy to use for tracking payments and accessing statements.

It's been smooth.

3. Maintenance & Repairs
Some expenses feel avoidable, like sending a handyman multiple times instead of resolving issues in one visit. They often use their in-house handyman, and it sometimes feels more about profit than practicality. However, scheduled maintenance is done properly.

4. Legal Compliance & Documentation
This area is handled well. Certifications and documentation are always up to date, which gives peace of mind and reflects good professionalism.

5.

Communication & Transparency
Responses are timely and professional. Communication is steady and courteous, which I appreciate, but there's room for more initiative. In summary, be prepared to lose 2-3 months rent per property per year, however once managed everything is great.

Possibly the best letting company I've had the pleasure of renting from. Since I moved in last year, they've been incredible.. from timely repairs to support with personal issues regarding the tenancy. Communication was always professional and replies were returned in a timely manner. The app to report faults etc is great as well. Couldn't fault them.

I have been renting out my Glasgow West-end flat through Western Lettings for the past 10 years. I have found them to be totally trustworthy and their service has been exemplary. They are efficient and their landlord reports are superb. Its not easy managing a rental property from the other side of the world (Australia) and I consider myself very fortunate to have discovered Western Lettings. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Western Lettings have been brilliant. I rented a flat through them for several years, and they were very reliable and helpful every time there was a problem. I have also found their pricing very fair. They are the best you can get in the West End.

Absolutely awful experience. I have been renting in the UK for over 10 years and I have never had such a bad experience with any state agents. I saw myself in the situation were the landlord had to come back to the property after 4 months of me moving in, and I had to leave within 28 days. The worst wasn't the fact that I had to move out with such short notice, but was the lack of assistance and sympathy from this agents. From day one, they have been uninterested and unhelpful. I don't want to have anything to do with this company ever again. Thanks for nothing.

With many years experience in the property industry, I have encountered many letting agents over the years both occasionally good and more often very very bad, but none have come close to the exceptional level of service I have received - as a landlord - from Catherine, Sandra, Jack and the rest of the team at Western. Best decision I made was when I put all my properties into Westerns care a few years back and I would highly recommend that both experienced and new landlords do the same. Always amazing and unequalled service. Top notch.all round.

We have used Western Lettings for the past 3 years and they have been amazing. Catherine and Emily have gone out of their way to look after our home for us especially through the pandemic, as we have been overseas and the communication has been first class, they always return our emails within minutes. We have recently sold our house and are close to settlement and they still go out of their way to help us I would not hesitate to use Western Lettings again.

We rented a flat off of Western Lettings last year and they were fantastic all through the process. They have always been very quick at responding to emails and were at end of the phone if we needed anything. The washing machine broke 2 weeks after moving in and they got someone out to look at it, and ultimately replace it quickly. We were a bit nervous when we moved out as there are so many horror stories of letting agents being difficult with deposits. But they appreciated how clean we had left the flat and refunded us the full amount. I would be very happy to recommend them to anyone looking for a flat in Glasgow.

5 stars. Defintely one of top 3 letting agents in Glasgow. I've been with Western Lettings for almost a year now and I am very pleased that I have chosen them. The company is well managed and organised for every nitty-gritty. I like the fact that they put the photo of each letting agent at the end of email. Prompt, professional, and good customer service. My property manager Tom is very responsible and reliable, always there and ready to help, from my initial application to flat maintance from time to time till now. Also, Catherine is always there to help and response. I highly recommend Westernlettings to anyone who is looking for renting a property in Glasgow.

We've dealt with a few estate agents/letting agents in our time and Western Lettings is by far the most responsive and friendly. Nothing has been too much trouble for them. Particularly our dealings with Catherine, who has been nothing but professional and helpful! The check in process, inventory and tenancy agreement has been easy to do online, the inventory being very thorough.

I rented with Western Lettings for the last 3-4 months of a 7.5~ month stay in Glasgow from January 1st 2021. The landlord (which was also lovely and responsive) switched over to them for a while before letting us know he chose to sell the flat but this was communicated effectively by him and the agency and they went above and beyond to make the stay and moving as easy as possible! Many thanks especially to Tom, for all his care into our tenancy, responsiveness and professionalism! Delighted to say if the opportunity arises again that I would love to be in touch with the agency in the future in Glasgow! Lastly, thanks for the help in other correspondence with Emily & Catherine, and in sorting the final paperwork details as well to Sandra & Lauren. Saved some more time when moving to my new place! All the best and stay safe guys, and thank you again for everything :)

I have been with Western Lettings for 3 years as a landlord - and I want to share my very highest recommendation for them. If I could give more than 5* I would. The staff at Western Lettings are exceptional in every way. Throughout my time with Western Lettings, the staff have gone out of their way to support me - it is abundantly clear that for the staff at Western Lettings, this is more than a job. they have genuinely cared for me, and nothing has ever been too much trouble.

Throughout this time, letting my house has been stress-free - Western Lettings' communication has been excellent, always keeping me in touch, and they have resolved any issues arising quickly, efficiently and professionally. If you are looking for someone to manage your property, I would encourage you to look no further than Western Lettings and their wonderful staff. Thank you to all at Western Lettings for making my experience such a positive one.

It has been a pleasure dealing with you at every turn - from setting up the let, to finding suitable tenants, to managing the property, to ensuring a good handover at the end of tenancy. Hugely appreciated.

I can honestly say these have been the best letting agents I have ever worked with. After bad experiences and OK experiences in the past I was constantly surprised how efficient, professional, polite, reasonable and helpful this team were. The price was no different (and in fact cheaper) than many others and it has been absolutely worth it. They. have been fantastic right up to the point where I sold my flat last month (and even beyond!). I never had to pester them to do something. I never had to follow up with a million emails. They just did the work extremely well and I am so grateful for all their hard work.
