Shocking and upsetting experience with Slater Hodd. Told by them at 9.30am that an offer on our dream house was accepted. Asked a question about a gas and electrical safety issue highlighted in the Home Report. Had to chase them , then told at 3.40pm oh sorry our clients have accepted another offer and they can choose any offer they wish. Integrity, ethics, communication and customer service clearly not important to them. read more

We just dealt with Alex and his team and they were super prompt in selling our flat in Bridgeton. Not even did they sell our place in no time they even liaised on with 1-2 Let in getting keys and all the necessary documents to make the deal happen so fast. I cannot thank them enough for helping us when we approached them from another country. I defo recommend them for real estate needs since they are very professional, fast,efficient and reliable in their service. Thank you so much guys !!! read more

Having rented for a number of years now and in that time moved quite a number of times, i'm well aware of the importance of a good lettings agency if you decide to go down the non private route. For our last couple of flats we have decided to go with agencies in the hope that it would cut out some of the work involved in flat hunting.....did it?? well, a wee bit. However, i have to give credit to these chaps as they have been pretty easywork for the last year now,and have done anything we have asked of them, which is alot more than some of the cretins out there in this industry. Good ones are hard to find.....this is a good one, i found it. read more

Slater Hogg & Howison - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

Bought an investment property through this company who were very nice and reliable. Seem to be very very reputable!

There is a house advertised as unfurnished, when I saw it it had few bits in the kitchen and so ans it was dirty I was never told no one is living in there and the house as left like that, the house was paid yesterday and when I went there it has two mattresses in there with dirty used sheets which were not even in there. They want us to leave in a house where there is poo, bits of soup, dirty clothes, grease everywhere, the garage full of broken furniture!!!! They totally mislead us and the landlord is equally disrespectful. I have never been in a agency like this in the 8 times I moved house. I have now paid for the most disgusting house I ever seen! I am paying to stay somewhere else while they think if they will do something, I am in a terrible position, for your own sake do not trust them!!! read more

I am new to Glasgow and rented a flat in Hyndland. The letting agent (Slater Hogg & Howison) on the Byres Road insisted that i had to pay from 1st of October despite that i could only move to Glasgow around the 7th. However, this is only the beginning of my nightmare. My flat is on the ground floor, recently decorated and pricy, but i thought i liked the location, so it would worth it. However, after moving in, i found out that this flat was freezing cold and there was cold damp air continuously coming from the gap between the wood board. An engineer told me that it was because it was empty basement underneath and there was no insulation layer at all. It is very cold in my flat, despite that this is only October, so I began to email the Agent, its property management department, but they are very unhelpful and told me that the flat was taken as it was, because i saw it before my contract, and that the landlord said i felt cold was because i came from the South, and that the heating was sufficient in this flat. The landlord refused to do any work to stop the cold coming from beneath and my flat felt like an open space. I went to the branch on the Byres Road where I rented my flat and told them what happened. A staff suggested me to contact the manager of the Department of Property Management at the Centre of Glasgow. When I called them up, a girl refused me to speak to her manager and told me coldly that her colleague called SB had been dealing with it and that the landlord was unwilling to do any floor work. However, the two emails i got from this property management is that the flat would be left as it was. This is my second week in Glasgow and my experience made me feel awful as i never met an agent as unhelpful and rude as this one. They forced me to pay a week more rent before I arrived, as they knew i was not local and i had to find a flat quickly, and after i reported the insulation problem, they decided to leave me alone. I felt helpless, as it is getting colder and colder. I have spent a lot of money in buying rugs which did not help. if i want a warm flat for this winter, i will have to move out soon, which means that i will lose my deposit as i signed 6 months contract. Could anyone suggest what i could do in this case? Could any one help? Is there any law and regulation that protects a tenant? Thank you! read more
