Sep 09,2024It is so rare in the cutthroat world of house-hunting to find an agent so dedicated to making sure prospective tenants are attentively cared for. Mark ensured this from start to finish in my search for a new property, exuding a professional demeanour from the first handshake. I never felt rushed, he was warm, knowledgable, and well-informed about not just the property but the landscape of the rental market in general. His attention to detail goes above and beyond; he ensured smaller viewing groups for potential properties to ensure tenants for property viewings are not cramped or rushed and he answered all of my questions with a genuine enthusiasm. Mark is an expert agent and complete asset to his company. I would highly recommend Lamont solely based with on my experience with Mark Scandrett.

Sep 07,2024Tamika was able to process my application within a week. She updated me regularly along the way. I would have been left homeless prior to starting my new job if not for her. Tamika is highly efficient and is a valuable member of Lamont Estates

Sep 05,2024I had a pleasure of working with Mark Scandrett from Lamont & Co, during my recent search for rental property. From the very beginning , he was attentive, professional and genuinely committed in helping me with the property. Mark is very knowledgeable and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Also went above and beyond to make sure I have access to the property as soon as possible due to my deadlines. Thank you Mark

Sep 02,2024The experience Lamont & Co was amazing from start to finish. They were able to get things turned around so quickly from the installation of the furniture with the accessories and finally the tenants occupying the property. Mark Scardrett from Lamont & Co had really helped me, to get things and was always available. 😃

Aug 23,2024This was our first experience to let through an agent and Lamont Estates was best and wise option proved. All the process took nearly a week and electricity and water supply everything was finalised systematically before we move in. Especially Tamika is very supportive regarding everything we need and asked. There wasn't any ambiguity, all the things were so clear. Would highly recommend to let property through this honest and safe hands.

Aug 23,2024I am glad to have a new agent on one under Gemma who has been very effective in communicating and answering queries. The previous agent was less satisfactory and indeed did not notify that a tenant was not paying rent until over 3 months the situation had occurred, not only this but the tenant caused major damages which were unrecoverable and costly. On another property it has been challenging, taking many months to do a minor repair and redecoration, always needing my follow up and communication with multiple parties. My major issue with this company is how they manage the rentals, there should always be an agreement if a tenant is unreachable that the agent can still enter for repairs or checking. Too often I get a response with 'tenant unavailable'. I do find that the cost of the service is quite high compared to the quality of service that I get from another agent in a different city, but I am unable to change agents due to the set up of these properties

Aug 21,2024Gemma is doing a remarkable job, whenever I have an issue she’s quick to respond and bring a solution to whatever problem I may be having and is also happy to answer any questions I have. The flat when I moved in was very good. Lamont made it easy to move in and have a nice affordable place to live.

Aug 14,2024We are unfortunately tied in to Lamont Estates who have been managing our flat since 2017. Despite a redacted agreement from the company that we bought the flat from (Prosperity, whom Lamonts are linked to) on a 50/50 basis of a rent guarantee, Lamonts failed to let the property for 2 years. During this time, I received minimal contact from Lamonts in pursuit. I then received an invoice for a replacement oven which I queried; the property had been empty for 2 years and had been fully refurbished on purchase. I was told that there had been squatters in the flat who had damaged the property and which Lamonts, as full managing agents, had been unaware of. As I'd also been paying enhanced council tax on this empty property for 2 years, I contacted the Property Ombudsman and a case was opened for which I received compensation for the cost of the oven in acknowledgement of the level of negligence on Lamont's behalf. A significant amount of time was taken up in pursuit and a sequence of denials and brush-offs from Lamont's letting agent and management team. As I am rating my recent experience , I have rated the company with 3-stars; the new managing agent for our flat has been effective in their communication and no issues have arisen to date. However, my faith in this company was lost a long time ago.

Aug 02,2024We have been with Lamont for 3 years now and have been really happy with the quality of their service and support. Joe Firth has been superb and always keeps us up to date with any relevant communication. Claire Harrington has also been excellent on the few times we have dealt with her. I would strongly recommend them to anybody wanting the property managed
