Reviews of Cairn Estate Agency

S. T.

We started using Cairn's services in 2018 and have always found our main point of contact, Heather, to go above and beyond the expected level of service. Certainly beyond a level of engagement compared to other property rental service providers we use. We do not believe there is a better provider of letting services, particularly in managing HMO properties in Glasgow. Cairn's professionalism ensures that letting requirements and legal obligations are never compromised - and interests are protected whether a landlord or tenant. And from dealing with Glasgow City Council and HMO renewals, introducing off-market opportunities, assisting with renovations, and day-to-day management, our interaction and experience with the entire Cairn team have been faultless. Thank you for the excellent service. PS: Any landlord underwhelmed by their current property manager should contact Cairn. Ask for Heather. You will not be disappointed.

Cairn were fantastic during my two year stay. Any issues of ours were reported to Heather MacMillan and dealt with in a very timely manner. Great experience and would highly recommend.

I have had a positive experience with Cairn since the very start, from submitting a note of interest about a property, then applying online, to discussing my application with property manager Safa Khan, and through my settling in process. I was fortunate that the landlord was sensitive to my situation (coming from the U.S. to pursue a postgraduate degree) and my needs (a two-bedroom flat, washer, quiet area, a home for several years). All of my interactions with Cairn have been positive, and my million questions I have as I deal with a bit of culture shock and getting used to how things are done in Scotland and the UK generally, have always been dealt with swiftly and helpfully. It's been a pleasure working with Cairn and having someone like Safa be my main contact for any issues or questions I have.

As a first time landlord, Cairn Estate Agency was recommended by a close friend. I am delighted with their efficient and supportive services, friendly manner and professionalism.

C. L.

This is my second time letting with Cairn and I would highly recommend using them as your Letting Agency. The staff have always been extremely professional and helpful. We have never had a problem getting ahold of staff on the phone or via email. It is easy to report any issues through the online system and we found that they were resolved very quickly. Many thanks to the Cairn staff.

** update **: since another agent (thank you!) took over and after i've posted this, they have became more responsive and i am enjoying a better quality of service (as a tenant). I don't have any issues from 2021 onwards. Before that I have them two stars review reflect the fact that took them **over a year** to actually bring the proper person for a long standing flat issue. The old two stars review, definitely does not reflect their **current** quality, and I was asked to remove it. Instead i am choosing to keep this as a reminder to other people that you don't have to suffer privately to enjoy a quality of service. ** old review ** (2 stars, poor value, not responsive) I am living in a property managed by Cairn. My experience with them? Abysmal. If its broken lamp, they'll fix it right away. If it's something more complicated? Prepare to be ghosted. Please avoid them as your letting agents at least for Glasgow if you're renting.

Gemma from Carin Estate and Letting Agency had helped me to rent out my property within a very short time. Always diligent and enthusiastic, she had kept me updated of the progress regularly. Moreover she was able to provide backup plan when things were not working out. She is also very responsive. As an overseas investor, this really gives me a peace of mind. I highly recommend Cairn Estate to all landlords looking for tenants in Glasgow.

A. S.

Reluctant landlord is an understatement where I am concerned, however, through no fault of my agent and given the current market / climate, I was unable to sell my recent development and made the decision to let it out. Hannah explained the whole process to me and put my mind at ease throughout, finding me a great tenant who has moved in and is loving the place already. Huge thanks to all of the Cairn Sales and Letting teams for everything :)

S.

I contacted Cairn as I had tenant’s not paying rent or responding. Gemma was introduced to me she is extremely well Knowledgeable about evictions (which was the path we went down) she follows a very correct procedure and completed everything successfully. She kept me up to date every step of the way. Words can’t quite explain how pleasant my experience has been working with Gemma along with the reasonable fee and fast response's she was able to almost make a stressful situation non-existent!.She further gave invaluable advice on sourcing new tenants so these situations do not arise again. if you have trouble with tenants or even if everything is smooth they have a very good management setup not skipping a beat. Highly recommended overall a very good estate agency!

S. M.

I would recommend Cairn to any students who are looking for a place to stay in Glasgow during their time at university/college! They have been so accommodating and understanding, as a lot of the time students come with little experience in residential letting! Heather has been so quick at responding, and any time we had to deal with difficult living situations in the flat, she went above and beyond to help us. Really great service and positive experience!

C. S.

Excellent service offering by Cairn. I rent my property through them and have been guided every step of the way, from preparing to let, to various safety procedures and on the day my tenants moved in, I even received an email to confirm this and let me know they were happy. My Property Manager is always on call/email and can answer any queries I have. I will continue to use Cairn and have recommended to a few friends who have signed up already. I think the fees are really good for the amount of work they actually do - I simply don't have the time and feel that my property is in safe hands with people who really know what they are doing!

M. L.

Hannah from Cairn Letting was an excellent support for me in finding accommodation in Glasgow. She answered my questions and concerns in no time and took my suggestions seriously and clarified them with the landlords. Even though the process was lengthy because I had lived abroad before looking for accommodation, the formalities were quickly taken care of when I arrived. The whole team at Cairn Letting also treated me very nicely when handing over the keys. I can heartily recommend this estate agency and if you have the opportunity to work with Hannah, I can only recommend her as well.

M. K.

I am very pleased with the service that cairns provided. The agency was recommended by a very trustworthy person. I called the office and arrange for someone to come to see the house. I was very pleased when I was informed that an agent could come and meet me at my desire time, as I usually finish work late. A very professional and friendly lady came and met me in my property, her name is Gemma Watts. She made me feel very secured and she definitely knew what she was talking about and seemed that she had lots of experience. She explained in detail of all the legal things and what the best option. However, I did want to see on the market, what kind of prices other agencies provide. I had few couple agencies and I decided to go with Cairns, The reason fr this decision was because of Gemma attitudes, she explained so well everything even though I was over asking questions because this was the first time I was renting my property and I didn't know how things work. After passing my property to the Agency, I had plenty emails of notifying me with the reviews of the house. Gemma went on her Honeymoon so another lady started to deal with my case, Sally Turnbull. I am extremely happy with her service and her patient. She has answering my emails very fast and made me feel important customer. She is very professional and friendly too. I would like to say thanks to Heather for her help as well. After 1 month and a half my property was rented out. The whole procedure run very smooth and I couldn't be any happier. Thanks again for the excellent communication girls.

C. M.

Sheena at Cairn provided a great service regarding the sale of my Glasgow tenement flat, which was all done remotely as I was living in France at the time. Good communication, advice and support throughout, and managed to achieve a satisfactory sale price too. Very pleased with the service offered by Cairn, I would recommend to friends.

M. O.

I let a small property in central Glasgow via Cairn. In the past, their service has not always been up to scratch but recently Sally took over as my property manager and she has been excellent. She is helpful, professional and quick to respond to issues for both tenant and landlord. I hope things continue on this more positive path.

S.

I rented a property in Shawlands from Cairn for 4 years, any time I dealt with the agency I found them very helpful. We had an issue with a neighbour and Fiona helped us with this. We had great communication and the move out was a smooth and we felt a fair process. Suzi Really good experience.

A. L.

Cairns have been excellent. I relocated from London to Glasgow to work for the Scottish Air Ambulance just before the lockdown started. Cairns went out of their way to help me find a property and ensured all the paperwork was processed very quickly. My removal company will not bring my furniture up at the moment, so Cairns have stepped in and lent me a bed and a sofa. I can’t thank them enough.

I. P.

Gemma and the team have always been very responsive to us. They’ve outdone themselves and have certainly set a high bar for professionalism and dedication by doing everything to ensure our property and the tenants are well looked after in spite of the looming pressure brought about by the pandemic. It is evident with the actions they take and their timely communications with us, that they truly care, not just about the business but also the people they work with. We highly recommend Cairn Letting!

M. S.

Cairns have been managing our student lets for the last three years. Being new to the market we needed guidance through all the statutory requirements, and wanted a reliable, responsive team. Our present property manager Heather has been excellent in this respect, as has their HMO advisor Carolanne. Would recommend to other prospective landlords.

J. O.

I have recently rented property with Gemma Waters from Cairn Letting. She was so helpful, so professional and made me feel very comfortable every step of the way. I would highly recommend her. I am very happy with my property and she made everything so easy for me. Great Company, greater staff.

J. W.

My husband and I rented our first flat together using this letting agency, and we couldn’t be happier with the service. I’ve dealt with a few dodgy landlords and agencies in the past, so it was a welcome change to have such an organised, professional team on hand. Any issues we’ve had (hardly any, by the way) have been dealt with promptly and communication between us and the landlord has been made so easy thanks to Cairn. Everyone that we’ve dealt with have been so patient and friendly, and it’s honestly been a joy renting this property.

R. M. A.

I have been using Cairn Estate and Lettings Agency ("Cairn") for the past six years and I find them very professional. I am not aware of any other letting agents in the West End of Glasgow that manage HMO lets with Cairn's extensive knowledge of the current legal requirements to protect tenants and landlords alike. They maintain a very good working relationship with Glasgow Greater Council which enables them to keep on top of both HMO and general safety & building regulations. Managing HMOs or "student lets" is not an easy task but all things considered, Cairn are "Best in Class" as far as I'm concerned.

This review is solely for Jenny Martin of Cairns Estate Agency. We were very unhappy with the service from Cairns until Jenny Martin took over the sale of our property. Jenny was professional throughout, providing us with excellent advice, regular updates and re-doing the previously poor marketing. She clearly has a great deal of experience in selling properties and was happy to go that extra mile to help us and keep us informed throughout the process. We can’t thank Jenny enough for her kindness and service and we would recommend vendors to specifically ask for Jenny Martin as she is absolutely fantastic.

O. T.

Overall a good letting agents so far. Lauren was very helpful/patient with me as a newcomer to the glasgow rental market. And though there were some issues at the start of our move, many were fixed as soon as possible.

A. G.

Excellent and knowledgable staff. In my experience significantly better than other agencies I have worked with. Gemma Waters and Mark Coll have been amazing and have consistently assisted me with a problem tenant. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

E.

Moved into a property with Cairn in September- they've been incredibly helpful and efficient since. Any minor problems have been rectified quickly. Safa is particularly helpful. Thank you!

K. F.

I have recently purchased a small flat and Sheena Peat was my contact with the agency. She kept me up-to-date with developments and her communication skills are second to none (my solicitor said so too). Buying a property can be stressful but Sheena managed to streamline the whole process. Thanks for making it as easy as possible Sheena.

c. c.

Recently rented with Cairn. They seem to be happy to help with all matters. I had a leak coming from above and the property manager came out, assessed the situation/damage and repairs carried out quickly and professionally to a great standard. Went above and beyond.

D. W.

Just secured our place through Cairn and I'm extremely happy with the service. The person dealing with our enquiry and application was communicative the entire time and kept us updated with any information. 10/10 would 100% recommend.

S. Y.

Was introduced to Gemma of Cairn Letting by a fellow investor after experiencing poor service from an existing letting. I'm so glad I made the switch. Gemma is not only professional and knowledgable, but also has her client's best interest at heart. Communications were always seamless and she's always willing to take the extra miles to accommodate my needs. She has now found me a good tenant. I'm very satisfied with Gemma's service and would recommend her without reservation.

K. B.

I had little experience with house sales, but Julianne and Fiona were able to give me detailed advice on the best route for selling or renting my flat. I decided to sell, Sheena guided me through the sale process with a happy result. I couldn't recommend the team more!

C. F.

Recently rented from Cairn, everything that has been reported has been dealt with straight away and repaired within a decent timescale. My property manager has always been on hand to help, no complaits and would recommend.

B.

I used Cairn as a landlord and as a seller and recommended them to my friend as a landlord too. I couldnt be happier and couldnt recommend them enough. I have used several agents as a renter and landlord and they were all different variations of terrible. They went above and beyond at all times and if I need an agent in the future they will e my first port of call!

T. L.

Excellent experience renting with Cairn property since 2021. Our property manager, Victoria is always friendly, supportive, and professional in sorting out any issues. We are happy to have her during our tenancy.

R. B.

Can not rate this company highly enough, in particular the wonderful Fiona and Susan. They took all the stresses away from us and organised letting out our flat. From viewings too certificates they were incredibly professional and yet friendly and approachable at all times. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to let out their flat and wants it done well and easily. Thanks so much girls xxx

G. M.

I have dealt with a few letting agents over the years but I have to say that Cairn are the best of the lot. Incredibly helpful and always looking to solve problems without further hassle. In many ways they are the exact opposite of the public perception of a letting agent as they come over very genuine in their approach and go out of their way to help. Special thank you to Fiona ( Campbell ) and Mark ( Coll )

A. T.

A very good trek just across Luss & the view from top is breath-taking.

W. B.

A first rate estate agency. Sheena and Chris did a fantastic job in helping to sell my property. Nothing was too much trouble for them and I can't recommend them highly enough.

A. L.

A pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Lauren was proactive and attentive throughout the process which was quick, easy, and stress free as a result. The support since the start of the tenancy continues to be of the same high standard.

K. D. F.

Fantastic service! Lauren was accommodating, proactive and very helpful throughout the entire process. Communication was absolutely fantastic -- I felt supported, and that I was definitely in good hands. Very professional.

Q.

Very professional and effective agency! A pleasure to work with 💚 …

S. M.

Hospitable, chatty and a pleasure to deal with, I first used this company whilst letting as a student nearby and I continue to use them years and several flats later. Any time you pop in your met with a wall of smiles with an air professionalism that is unrivalled in the area.

A. K.

Have sold properties twice through Cairn and delighted with the service provided on both occasions and in this instance by Sheena. Would certainly recommend.

J. C.

Cairn Letting have been very helpful in the managing of my property. Quick and efficient, would highly recommend!

E.

From a landlord's perspective, Cairns have really shaken up my perceptions about letting agencies. I've had really negative experiences with letting agencies in the past and swore I would never deal with them again. However, circumstances change and following an excellent recommendation from one of their contractors, I have been letting with Cairns for 18 months and have found them to be really helpful. Any concerns have been dealt with swiftly. They have ensured that the property has been fully compliant with legislation so that the tenant is safe. I was very impressed that they kept me updated on tenants' checks and gave me frank and honest advice, when required. I am also extremely happy with the tenant. She has kept the property immaculate. I've been really happy with the great service I have received from Cairns.

Lesley was so lovely and a great help!

I recently used Cairn for selling my property and the service I received was fantastic. Susan was my main point of contact and kept in regular touch with me throughout the full process. She was also very helpful and supportive when I had a number of issues with the solicitor I was using for the sale. I was extremely impressed with the photos and virtual tour that were taken for marketing the property, they were highly professional and attracted 30+ viewers. My property went to a closing date and sold within a week of being on the market! I wouldn't hesitate to use Cairn again in the future and would highly recommend them to anyone selling a property.

S. M.

Service at this place is second to none. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Susan Collins was 10/10 for customer service and despite living in Melbourne, Susan ensured that any concerns I had with Cairn Estate Agency selling my house in Scotland from a long distance, was quickly addressed. The WhatsApp voice messages were always cheerful to wake up to :) Susan Collins gives 100% commitment to her vendor, providing prompt feedback and advice following viewings. Thanks Susan for the 5 star treatment and I would highly recommend any prospective vendor who wants to engage with a genuine professional Estate Agent to get in touch with Susan Collins at Cairn Estate Agents, Gibson St, Glasgow. Susan’s service is unique and stand-alone and won’t be forgotten.

B. B.

Fantastic experience renting with Cairn property in last 4 years. Always very willing to help and support with utmost respect. I have really liked the property which comes with high standards and support that I got from my property manager Victoria & sophie is amazing. Really appreciate the work that you do. Best wishes!

O. A.

I have used Cairn for several years to manage my HMO portfolio and also to buy & sell properties through them. I have always found them to be responsive to clients needs and would not hesitate to recommend them for being the HMO letting specialist in the West End. My main contacts on a daily basis are Heather and Carolanne who are very professional and genuinely do go the extra mile to resolve any problems that arise - no matter the time or day they are always there to do what they can to help which in the letting game is important as issues don't just appear on a Monday morning. Overall a well managed and tightly run agency with knowledegable staff that I would highly recommend.

V. O.

Amazing professional team, working with Jenny and Cairn. House sold quick and for a great price. Beautiful pictures and quick sale. Awesome top class professional team, thank you Cairn
