  • Stay away from Fineholm letting services based in Union st. We rented with them for a year before buying a place. The flat was dirty so we had to clean it top to bottom before moving in and cuboards full of junk which we had them remove. Should have known then what they would be like! We had to constantly bombard them with emails and phone calls to get the dangerous boiler repaired and the broken tiles in the kitchen replaced. The TV points never did get fixed! When we asked for an extra week add on to our lease to allow us time to arrange moving to our new place they said no problem which was great. But on the day of the move when they were meant to come and inspect the flat and collect the keys, they never showed up. Long story short, they ended up charging us for 2 extra weeks claiming we didn't give the keys back on time! And then to rub salt in our wounds they deducted cleaning fees from our deposit. When we left that flat it was 100 times cleaner than when we moved in. The place stunk of bleach I remember thinking as I waited over 2 hours in the empty flat for their agent who never showed up! Anyway, thanks for reading, I've been waiting 2 years to share this. 😂 by dav_1980 (Mon 29th Jun 2020 8:58pm)
  • They were worse than just a bad agent. They were actually dishonest and lied to us more than once. We took our case about the deposit deduction to the "independent" body who decide on these things. They lied through their teeth to them as well no surprise. We were in the fortunate position of not depending on getting that money back for a deposit on another rental. I'd hate to think what could happen to someone who was in that position. They could potentially end up homeless! by dav_1980 (Mon 29th Jun 2020 10:19pm)
  • Hope there is a fire station nearby 🔥 by dav_1980 (Thu 2nd Jul 2020 10:31pm)
  • Could be the job you are asking to be done is too much hassle for the money they can charge you. It would be better if they explained this to you rather than ghosting. by dav_1980 (Wed 22nd Jul 2020 3:36pm)
  • Lots of agents do this now. Avoid fineholme at all costs. You'll never get your full deposit back from them. by dav_1980 (Tue 20th Oct 2020 6:32pm)

  • Hi, I copied a previous post of mines when I seen your question.... Stay away from Fineholm letting services based in Union st. We rented with them for a year before buying a place.

Anyway, thanks for reading, I've been waiting 2 years to share this. 😂 Just to balance it out, I would recommend your move who I used before. Very professional and fair. by dav_1980 (Fri 5th Mar 2021 10:58am)
  • Another thing I forgot to mention in case you do go with them, is watch out for the small print where it says the rent will increase automatically after 6 months ( or a year I can't remember ) by dav_1980 (Fri 5th Mar 2021 12:17pm)
  • Honestly I wouldn't trust them. We had everything in writing but they lied to the deposit holder about not showing up for the hand over. They told us to just post the keys to their office which we did and they then charged us an extra weeks rent. Liers and thieves. by dav_1980 (Fri 5th Mar 2021 12:15pm)
  • Thats good news then. This was 4 years ago when we were dealing with them. Absolute disgrace of a company. by dav_1980 (Fri 5th Mar 2021 12:25pm)

  • Get yourself a place in Royston. It's near the GRI and also has a very "diverse" populus. You Can go a hike up the various closes and tower blocks. The gangs / crime here are of the highest caliber and you can find a friend any time of day if you walk up the main st singing the Billy boys. by dav_1980 (Wed 23rd Jun 2021 5:57pm)
  • A wee joke ffs by dav_1980 (Wed 23rd Jun 2021 7:53pm)
  • Agreed, plus ,The guy is 70 odd years old and has just flew in to Prestwick from Rome where he had to hear and say all the same soundbites already. Anyone would be tired never mind a man of that age. by dav_1980 (Mon 1st Nov 2021 7:12pm)
  • I still think anyone would be tired after the traveling he's done over the past few days regardless of age. Personally though , I do think these types of positions need to be filled by younger more forward thinking people. by dav_1980 (Tue 2nd Nov 2021 1:36pm)

  • A few years ago we went to Finehomes (AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS) office to sign a lease and just when we were about to sign we notice in the smallest of small print a clause saying the rent will increase 10% after 6 months!!! We managed to persuade them to have the landlord take it out before we signed and then left after a year.

  • The Ukrainian government are asking people to go over there and fight with them. They are providing the weapons. If you want to make a difference why not get over there and get involved? Standing in George Square will do fuck all. by dav_1980 (Sat 26th Feb 2022 11:32am)

  • Is there a problem here??? by dav_1980 (Wed 6th Apr 2022 12:11pm)
  • Exactly. If I'm in that position I might think the guys an idiot throwing a bottle, I might even say it. But what am I meant to do? March the guy out the stadium? Get into a scrap with him and maybe his group of mates? One or two idiots throwing something is not representative of 55000 other people in the stadium largely behaving themselves. by dav_1980 (Thu 7th Apr 2022 11:19am)

  • Get zap map and have a look at what is local to you. There are charging options at gyms, supermarkets etc both rapid and slow. Charge place Scotland currently are mostly free but usually are busy where I am. Rapid chargers at most providers vary between 45p - 55p per kWh and Slow chargers around 35-45p. Range and charging time are dependent on what size of battery your car has. For example my battery is 64kwh. At a 50kw rapid charger it will charge to 80-90% in about an hour giving me about 220 miles. If I plug in at a 7kw charger then it will take about 8 hours to get to the same levels. I am fortunate I have the home charger now but I used the public charging network for about 8 months and managed ok. by dav_1980 (Sat 3rd Sep 2022 11:38am)

  • Please don't jump or take the pills or whatever. There is ALWAYS ANOTHER WAY!! Time passes and things change. It just takes time. It seems in the moment that things are what they are but I promise you that it won't always be this way . Seek the proffesional help that others here have recommended. I am not the expert however I speak out as someone who has felt the same way before and who now has a different outlook. Please feel free to message me if even if there is the slightest chance I can help you in any way 💗 by dav_1980 (Sat 25th Mar 2023 11:34pm)
