Customer Testimonials

  • “For the last couple of years, I have been letting my property with Fine Lets. As a first time landlord, I thought the process would be daunting, but Jean helped me every step of the way and has done a tremendous job of managing the property while I’ve been overseas. I couldn’t have asked for a better letting agent!”

    Ms C Thomson

    Mr A Ferries

  • “I was introduced to Fine Lets on a recommendation from a good friend of mine. After several years of renting my flat out directly, and the hassle that goes with it, I was delighted with the service Fine Lets provided. Friendly, efficient and organised – Fine Lets were also able to help out with excellent trade contacts and upgrades to the flat. I’d thoroughly recommend Fine Lets to anyone letting out their property.”

    Mr B Moore

  • As first-time landlords, we are constantly impressed with the service we receive from Fine Lets. Jean is prompt, meticulous and always conducts herself in a very friendly and professional manner. With us being on the other side of the world, it is important that we feel secure that our home is being looked after, and Fine Lets provide us with this assurance. We would have no hesitation in recommending Fine Lets.

    Mr & Mrs A Buchanan

  • I was continually frustrated by an attitude from other agents that seemed to be “take it or leave it”. Then I spoke to the agent from Fine Lets and felt that I was talking to a person who genuinely cared about providing a good service to both the owner and the tenant. And after four years this has proven to be the case as I am delighted with the service and have received excellent feedback from tenants.

    Mr P McCluskey

  • Fine Lets have managed our property for a number of years now and short of being in the property ourselves, I can think of no-one better to trust your investment to; outstanding in all aspects.

    Mr I Bell

  • Fine Lets have come up trumps again with fantastic service beyond our expectations. They are the best agent we have used for our Buy to Let Portfolio. Shame they don’t operate in Lancashire as we would love them to manage our Lancaster apartment! It is a great relief to us that we have someone we can rely on to look after our Glasgow investment for us.
