Been a landlord with Montrose for nearly 20 years. They are incredibly professional, efficient and treat landlords and tenants as people - not just business. Can't praise them highly enough.

In my experience they are a great company who look after tenants and landlords alike. They have managed my flat for around 10 years and its been well looked after, I get regular reports on the condition and my tenant is happy as when things go wrong they deal with it efficiently. I dont live local anymore so I appreciate that these things are covered without me needing to be involved in every aspect or every detail. Not much more to say other thanks for a great service

Positive:Professionalism
I am very surprised with the bad reviews that tenants and landlords have given Montrose. Montrose have been my letting agent for 12 years or so and the staff members have always been courteous and helpful in finding tradesmen when problems arise at the tenancy.

Where to begin... Absolutely awful company. Outright failed to fix any issues, not just cosmetic ones, but issues seriously effecting the health of residents and neighbours. Despite us providing countless photographic evidence of these problems, nothing was ever done. They were consistently stubborn to deal with and reluctant to even acknowledge the possibility that there is an issue with their property. Always tried to put the blame on the tenant. And if you think you think you're going to get your deposit back at the end of your tenancy, you are dreaming.
Additionally, if you value privacy

As I live abroad I've been renting my flat out with Montrose Properties for over 10 years now. They are far and away the best management agents I've ever used. The reason I'm writing this now is that we had a problem during Covid 19 getting a washing machine up the stairs to my tenants as it took two people who obviously had to live together for social distancing reasons. Rob and his son volunteered and took the machine up themselves, back breaking, they are heavy things, really above and beyond the call of duty. Which sums up my experience with them really, they always offer an excellent service
