Saint Andrews Bureau Reviews 

Initial experience of booking to view a let was good, then the dealing with the paperwork there were a few mistakes but dealt with well. It all fell apart just 4 days before handing over the keys, when I received an email informing me that my let had been cancelled because the previous client had not returned the keys. This email was sent at the end of the working day so I could not phone them back to ask what my options were, and left me essentially homeless as I had handed notice in on my current let as is normal. This is also the week before Christmas. I spent that night stressing out about how I was going to cope with the situation. My house move was all booked, utlities ready to be moved, standing orders for existing property cancelled and end of tenancy clean booked. A lot of this I had had to pay for up front as it is so close to Christmas.
The next day I was waiting at the office to speak to someone as to what I could do. The total lack of empathy was shocking, they did not care at all and didn't even offer to help me find something else. They even had the gall to point out that legally they did not have to do anything. So Happy Christmas to me, homeless through no fault of my own.
I have never had a problem renting before, I have never defaulted on a payment and never lost a penny off a deposit. Moving at Christmas is stressful enough and SAB pushed me to move before the end of my current tenancy, which given they must have known they had a problem with their existing client (she had gone none contact and the house was empty except for rubbish when I viewed it 5 weeks ago), to think they could turn it around in 4 days was unrealistic on their part.
