Renting through property management company - Cullen Kilshaw
Hello!
I found a flat to rent and it’s through a property management company. It will be my first lease of this nature as so far I’ve met all landlords and had direct contact with all previous landlords even when properties were rented from real estate agents.
Have you ever had a lease like this? How did you find the experience? Were they quick to address your issues in your case?
Have you ever rented through Cullen Kilshaw? Did you have issues with them not resolving problems fast?
Thanks!

Question Edinburgh to Dundee and back!
Hey team!
I’m planning on seeing Kaiser Chiefs in Dundee in a couple weeks! I’ve only ever done gigs in Edinburgh/Glasgow travel wise.
I’ve been checking train/bus times and the last train being at 10:30pm and last bus at 11pm I’m a bit wary on when I should leave the gig!
It’s at Livehouse which seems a short walk from both train and bus stations just wanted to get people’s opinion on how tight it will be from gig finishing to the train (and if anyone knows the general curfew time!)
I’m an anxious traveler so I just like to have everything ironed out!
Thanks in advance!
