“Please pass on my thanks to Susan and all the letting staff for dealing with the rental of our property in Bothwell. We didn’t think for a moment you would find tenants so promptly or wishing to let such a large home unfurnished.”

Mr. & Mrs. McDonald | Lady Jane Gate, Bothwell

“A big thank-you for organising the refurbishment of our flat in Woodlands.

Your team kept within our budget and the tight time schedule. This property has proven to be an excellent investment over the last 7 years and as always you have always kept us up to date with current legislation with HMO licensing.”

Mr. R. Walker | Reigate, Surrey

“This is the fourth property we have bought in Edinburgh as an investment and the on-going management entrusted to Cairn. As usual the service has been exceptional and your fees much more reasonable than many of your competitors. Our best regards to Mr Rowand and the staff for assessing several flats in the New Town before finally recommending our latest purchase. His negotiation skills were a great help in securing the property way below the Home Report Valuation.”

Ms. Morton-McKay | Morningside, Edinburgh

“Excellent service from start to finish. I would have no qualms about recommending your company to work colleagues and friends. On-going support and assistance was invaluable.”

Mrs. S. Hamilton | Merchant City, Glasgow

“What a pleasure to deal with a letting agency that specialises in student accommodation. Both my daughters attended Glasgow University and on each occasion they rented property through Cairn in Hillhead. The accommodation was always superior to private lets and we always felt the staff in Glasgow really empathised with the younger generation!”

Mr. & Mrs. Rankin | Taynuilt, Argyll

“Many thanks for looking after and managing our property in Wilton Street for the past 12 months. We were initially concerned about renting out our flat after a previous experience with a well known company left us out of pocket, however we needn’t have worried. Your staff were attentive, provided us with regular feedback and ensured the rent was always paid on time. Keep up the good work and thanks again.”

Dr. & Mrs. Pearson | North Kelvinside, Glasgow
