Do not touch with a barge pole - incl virtual walk thru'

Good Evening
I also did a Google Review. The Platform Renting Imagined Official Website does not provide a possibility to review. 1 other review on Trust Pilot. It is a very negative review but received an Average, 3***.
Platform Edinburgh are your worst enemy. Esp. maintenance and post sales. Ewan Walker, James (Jamie) McEwan, John Thomson, Chelsea Bull among others are regretfully to name and shame. Reported to Microsoft , Bing and now Google Review. Platform registered on ompanieshouse.ov.uk break their T&Cs, Privacy Statement ref ICO GDPR with whom I have been in touch on other matters. Also reported Platform to CEC Cllr, Landlord Registration, PRS Tenancies, Letting Agent Regulation, SDS (Safe Deposits Scotland) and MSP incl. the SG (Scottish Government). Ewan just took videos of my home despite my protests. A big and hefty man, 37 years old. Illegal, and also in violation of the UK Equality Act Scotland Section. I pointed to possible domestic violence and his wedding ring. He admitted when I pointed out, that 2 maintenance staff enter to have a witness of their own. Even under duress, I finally acquiesced but not consented that my former partner was an MSP (Scottish Parliament) and solicitor in training (e.g. not a plumber), a devolved NOT reserved matter (London). I write in fear as I am still unable to physically and financially protect myself and they have keys with access to all our rooms and main door as there are no internal keys or locks. Internal walls are painted boards not cement or brick. They use their own OVO Energy Supplier - illegal. So I also escalated to many ombudsmen (several) Ofgem, SDS, SPSO, TPO (they are not registered on SPSO though also in Scotland; only on TPO), FHO, SEPA, Trading Standards (Scotland), Advice Direct Scotland, etcetera. Do not touch Platform Life Edinburgh (registered in England only) with a barge pole (from Barging, Cambridge). Even their energy grid is an OLD grid for a 'new green build' with probable price hikes well above estimated values and many residents have complained of their energy bills. Further, Platform are only lets not sales or buy to lets. Smokers (I have never smoked) are forced to light their e-cigarettes in the cold, outside, in gale-force winds, to reduce insurance cover of the landlord and letting agent; i.e. PLATFORM_. They are both rolled into one which is possibly not permissible due to a conflict of interest - legal term, as with the term 'confirm' and 'yellow highlighting' or 'yellow legal paper' including 'yellow notepads'. Apartments are NOT furnished despite their photos, only those on display. This includes kitchenware, furniture, bedding and more. It no longer suffices to write nice google reviews as a palliative or ego-boost. Photos will be included in due course. DR D A DEZOYSA. Economist not MD though I have taken my dual vaccine for COV-2 and 'flu immunisation. PLATFORM staff has not. Google/ Alphabet/ YouTube CA (Calif) you know me.

Discriminatory Renter

Discriminatory Renter,

They do not accept people on benefits, now I get that maybe some people deem that they shouldn't be allowed to rent but given that I could afford what they ask for they deem to be Mid-Market on citylets website. I have enough to cover this. It's not my fault that I am unable to work I am trying too get my health in order to work I previously did do part time but had to leave and wish too get back into some part time work. But they outright say no. It has nothing to do with affordability in the slightest when you can prove that you can afford.

It is outrageous and quite frankly this is the reason why companies should be prosecuted for building houses and complexes etc and taken green spaces away when it provides no more actually affordable and rental properties for people especially people who don't want to be claiming benefits but unfortunately weren't exactly able to work and it isn't there fault but yet companies like these taking up so many properties make it impossible for us to rent causing more health concerns long term as if its this hard too find suitable accomodation its not exactly helping your health whilst trying to find somewhere. It's no wonder the UK has a huge housing emergency at the moment because of companies like these and many others making it impossible to rent. They also make you review the company on a specific website which is very interesting as you don't therefore see many bad reviews I wonder why?
