As someone also relocating from a different country with limited time for viewing, the entire process from having a glance in the Quartermile window, being invited inside to see if any help could be provided, viewing the properties and the subsequent lease, agreement signing etc. the help provided by Eden and Rachel has been superb. The swiftness and ease of which everything has been carried out is a testament to them both and the company. Professional, courteous and amiable. Couldn't recommend enough and can't wait to pick up the keys and move in, in a few weeks time!- Dr Christopher Donnellread more

As people who had never let a property before we were rather nervous about this process - but Emily made it so much easier than we could have hoped for, and found us such a wonderful flat! She was kind, incredibly helpful and quick to reply to emails, very patiently answering all of our many many questions and talking us through every step. Could not recommend more - thank you so much!read more

As someone relocating from London to Edinburgh I cannot praise Umega Lettings for their professional and efficient letting process. A special mention to Kim Craven who showed me the property and by the end of day I had secured the lease. The whole referencing process was by far superior to any letting agent previously and the team made me feel most welcome when I popped into the office to pick up my keys on move in day. I have nothing but praise and the 5 stars are well deserved. Thanks Debbieread more

As a student moving to Edinburgh from the States, I entered into the process of looking for a flat with a short deadline and many questions. Kim Craven, and really the entire Umega team, did so much to make this process as swift and accessible as possible for me. Every interaction has been a delight, and I can truthfully say they went above and beyond to make me feel at ease, answer any questions I might have in a timely fashion, and help me find the right home. I feel very fortunate to have worked with Kim, and it's largely due to her help that I accomplished my goal of finding a great flat, and can look forward to a painless move. I'm so happy to be part of the Umega family.read more

We are renting for the first time after selling our property. After finding a property through Umega which suited our requirements. When we went to view the property, we were met by Eden Ritchie who was very helpful and friendly in answering our questions including those by our 10 year old daughter. Eden and Umega have continued to helpful throughout the letting application process and we look forward to moving into our new home. thank you Eden for all your help so far.read more

I am a new tenant with Umega, but so far everything has been totally painless. In particular (and I admit this is partially just a sign of how times have changed since I last went through the process...) I was able to complete everything between the viewing and collecting keys including the initial application, and signing the lease, online and through e-mail. That makes a big difference when you work full time! Kim and the team have been helpful, friendly, and efficient throughout the process, and I look forward to several happy years in my new flat.read more

Excellent customer service. Always professional and helpful in meeting customer needs. I contacted Umega on a Monday to arrange a viewing of a flat for my son. Viewed the next day and all formalities completed in 5 days to allow my son to move in on the following Monday. All accomplished within 6 days. Fast tracking at best. Our agent Kim was wonderful and always kept in contact by phone and email ensuring that deadlines were met. A special thanks to her.read more

My husband and I have had the best experience with Umega Lettings and feel Danielle, Lauren, Caitlin and the rest of the team have been absolutely amazing through out our tenancy.

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

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

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.

I have worked with a number of property agencies in the past and Umega have been the best. Thank you.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 will definitely recommend Umega Lettings and Caitlin to all of you.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
