Emily saved the day when it came to finding a 5 bed student flat. She was incredibly helpful and friendly on the phone, totally different experience to most letting agents I had been in contact with! We have had a rollercoaster ride trying to find a flat for next year but as soon as I spoke to Emily all my worries floated away! Thank you so much for all your help, super quick replies to emails and general reassurance about the process. Here's hoping we are good enough for the flat!read more

This is the first time I tried to rent a flat in Edinburgh. I found Eden at Umega, she is really helpful and kind. Also, she always respond to my queries quickly. Though I haven’t got a flat from Umega yet, the viewing and all the contacting process are really pleasant. I would love to recommend other students to try Umega.read more

As a student in Edinburgh trying to rent a flat, we aren’t always treated particularly pleasantly (read: mass viewings with around 50 students competing for a semi-decent flat) Umega has been brilliant! We mainly met and dealt with Scott who was always friendly and very helpful. He even smiled and laughed through our excited squeals for a blanket fort cupboard (a student necessity!). After a few technical/admin hiccups in the letting process, Umega remained very helpful and gracious. We cannot recommend Umega enough! 10/10read more

Umega is by far one of the best renting agencies ever!! We are still renting the property but sadly we have to leave soon for personal reasons. Ever since the process of the letting agreement to the sign of the contract and the keys all the way through our last days here we have been treated very well and like human beings. Not at all like other agencies where they just want you to pay and they don't really care if you have any issue in the property ir if you are ok with everything. Special thanks to Jonathan who has been the one always in touch with us and helping with anything we have needed. If we ever come back to Edinburgh I hope we can rent with you guys again. Please keep being best of the bests!!read more

For any issues and help most of the time I am touch with staff 'Nikki'.She was very wonderful, supportive and helpful during my stay in the property.She made my exist very simple and haven't lost much deposit for the damage of the property.Umega Lettings is a very good and excellent in managing and maintaining the property with their routine checks (alarms, boiler, electricity, etc.). They got a very good maintenance team (David).Thanks to Umega Lettings for the opportunity to stay in there selected property.I wish them good luck in near future. I will definitely approach them, if I want to come back to Edinburgh and search for house. Regards,Sandeep.read more

Umega are an absolute pleasure to work with. They make property management easy and all the teams work hard to ensure that both the tenants and landlords needs are met. They are extremely proactive and I know that if I were to have any problems in future that I can trust Umega to resolve diligently and to everyone's satisfaction. I would highly recommend Umega to anyone looking to rent a property.read more

Having lived in properties managed by other letting agents (who will remain nameless!) I have to say that life with Umega is such a relief. I trust them and they are fun to deal with. Hoping they’ll have something that suits me when I’m ready for a bigger place as don’t want to take a risk on another agent again.read more

First class service, helpful and friendly. As a new tenant there were a couple of problems with the flat, beyond their control, but these were dealt with as quickly as possible by their very efficient in-house maintenance team. Highly recommended all round.read more

As a landlord, Umega managed my property for over 10 years. They have been organised, efficient and importantly, worked well with my tenants and with my needs. In particular, I would like to recommend Chris Wood and Nikki Moore for providing such a high standard of service and for their pragmatic approach in the way they work. I have worked with a number of property agencies in the past and Umega have been the best. Thank you.read more

I've rented out my flat through Umega for the past 5 years and they are just really good at all that they do. From finding new tenants to dealing with maintenance and HMO legislation, everything runs smoothly. I live hundreds of miles away and rely on Umega to manage everything for me and they have not let me down once. They are outstanding.read more

My partner and I rent our current flat through Umega Lettings. The entire process of signing the contract was smooth and we received help when we needed it. When something in the flat needs a fix, they're very quick with replying to our emails and sending contractors to take care of the issue. The people at Umega are nice and efficient.read more

Best agency encountered till date. Polite and understanding agents.They even refund your full deposit, in case u are unable to continue with the deal. My agent was Caitlin. I had to cancel my house booking due to some reasons and they were very positive in responding and refunding my full deposit amount. What can i say beyond this. I will definitely recommend Umega Lettings and Caitlin to all of you.read more

Nikki met with me to inspect and provide a valuation for a property I am letting out. She could not have been more professional, efficient and accommodating. She was also highly responsive and replied to all my queries quickly and professionally. She really knows her stuff and I would not hesitate to use Umega for my next rental property and recommend them to others.read more

Best letting agency throughout uni. So helpful, easy to talk to, replaced and fixed things when they needed it (including a lamp & mattress, fixed washing machine). Just down the road from us and always willing to help. We did a thorough clean of the flat ourselves and weren't deducted anything from the deposit unlike other agencies who deduct money for tiny stupid or impossible things. Would recommend!read more

Renting from Umega has been a pleasure. When you phone, you speak to employees who really want to help you. Any minor faults with the flat (e.g. Bulbs in light fixtures gone out) were resolved with very quickly by the contractors. We dealt with Jacqueline on move in and then Kieran and Steve throughout our stay in the property. They were all extremely helpful and also very friendly. A special thanks to Steve in particular who has helped us during our process of moving out as we have recently bought a property. Would recommend Umega to anyone in Edinburgh looking to rent!read more

I've been renting with Umega for around five years now and couldn't be happier! This was my first solo flat and the staff as a whole from the agency based to the outside contract workers, could not have been nicer or more helpful! They're always so pleasant and go above and beyond to quickly sort any issues that arise - I would throughly recommend Umega and when the day arises I need something larger than my lovely wee one bedroom (I say wee, it's massive and was the first place I've ever moved and didn't need to clean beforehand!) I'll hopefully continue with them to my next home! They really do make you feel you're in your home and not just renting a faceless flat! Definite full five stars and if there was a ten option, I'd be giving it!read more

I recently moved to UK and went on to search for rented house. Send many queries to many letting agencies. Most of these responded in many days. Umega were quick to respond and I could secure a rented house within two week of viewing. They were quick to respond to emails and were easily accessible over phone. They explained every step in good details. Post rent service also seems to be good so far.read more

Thinking about changing letting agent?

Many landlords think that changing letting agent is a bit like changing your bank. That the process will be a real ‘faff’, it will be expensive and there is no guarantee that the new letting agent will be any better…
