We were tenants with Western Lettings and as the others reviews, we can confirm they are very professional and always helpful. Excellent communication and they fixed things quickly. We were really satisfied from the beginning of our tenancy to the end.

While I left the tenancy two years ago, I never realised I didn’t leave a review. I rented a flat through western lettings for a year and I was amazed by their responsiveness and professionalism! All maintenance issues were addressed and fixed within 72 hours (even with white good replacements). I’m highly recommending them to family and friends looking for a place and they are going to be my first choice when I’m starting to consider upgrading my current apartment!

Excellent experience with Western - the few issues experienced were dealt with swiftly and fixed first time. Very prompt, friendly and courteous service so can’t recommend highly enough.Thanks to Catherine and the team for a stress-free stay!

The team at Western Lettings were easy to deal with on entry to our new rented property and when we vacated. The online systems they use work very well but the added personal touch just made it easier. Small issues were dealt with quickly and the team of services they have on call electrician, joiner etc. were all great. We wish them all the best on their office move.

I have found Western Lettings to be professional and responsive to any issues I’ve had as a landlord. They quickly found reliable tenants for my property and were also very helpful and supportive during the sale of my property.

I've worked with quite a few letting agencies in Glasgow at this point and by far Western lettings is not only the most professional but also the kindest! I am sad to no longer be renting with them, but thanks to the team for making my move in and move out so simple!

The biggest negative is that they take their cut immediately when the tenants pay but you, the landlord, have to wait. They do all the rents on a Friday but it's not in your account till the Monday! Consequently every month is different when you as the landlord gets paid! They are however earning the interest on the monies.

Me and my husband moved to Glasgow a few months ago. Our tenancy agreement was passed from another agency to Western Lettings Agency and there’s only good words to say about them. One of their employees,Catherine who was really nice and friendly, visited us and was really helpful explaining everything about the tenancy agreement. We highly recommend Western Lettings!!!!

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. You are daft if you don't choose them for your agency. Could not rate them highly enough.
