Editorial context
Working with a provider in Edinburgh – what matters
When appointing an estate or letting agent in Edinburgh, it is useful to distinguish between sales, lettings and ongoing property management. Murray & Currie identifies all three as core areas. The key question is therefore which tasks are included in a particular instruction and which require a separate agreement or additional payment. A written scope of services makes comparisons with other providers easier.
For a sale, useful discussion points include the basis for the asking price, the proposed presentation of the property, viewing arrangements and updates on marketing progress. Prospective buyers should raise questions about property documents and any unresolved issues early on. Website search filters help with shortlisting but do not replace checks on an individual property.
For lettings and management, owners should ask about tenant selection, records of the property's condition, rental accounting and additional charges. Clear responsibility for repairs is equally important: who receives reports, who authorises work and how are progress updates communicated? Tenants should also clarify appointment arrangements, key handling and move-in and move-out procedures.
As the provider lists several Scottish cities within its operating area, prospective clients should ask how local support is organised and who their contact will be. Google reviews can highlight recurring experiences, but should be considered alongside contractual documents and direct discussions. These points provide general guidance rather than legal advice.

Dear Murray and Currie, I would like to express my appreciation for the assistance provided by your staff in helping us find suitable accommodation last year. Their support, professionalism, and responsiveness were greatly appreciated and made the process much easier. At the same time, I would like to suggest further improvements to the maintenance operations. Faster response times, better follow-up on maintenance requests, and more proactive inspections could significantly enhance the overall experience for tenants. Kind regards,
Do NOT use this awful agency. We had a horrible experience not only staying in one of their properties but while moving out. They gave the wrong address and wrong set of keys to a random man who walked into our flat. No notice nothing. And on top of that I was home alone and he didn’t speak a word of English. I was so scared and it took about 10 minutes and someone from the office calling in polish for him to leave. I never got a sorry or anything. I had to email a complaint to get one. So if you don’t want people breaking into your flat as a young woman do NOT use this agency.
We have stayed in a Murray and Currie apartment for the past year with Karolina Taraowicz as our liaison for the property. Karolina has gone above and beyond to be accomodating for us, and managing our property even with a challenging landlord. We really think she's done an amazing job, and would absolutely recommend working with her again
Really disappointing from a property management perspective, unable to manage tenants causing damage or indeed vet them properly. Check in and check out services basically non existent. Tenants were able to leave the property full of rubbish and with items missing from the inventory, plus their own broken furniture that needed to be disposed of at my own cost, against the terms of the contract. Very poor in terms of passing on rent in a timely manner, providing documentation and yet manage to bill additional ‘fees’ for things which should be covered under the agreement.
I’ve had a really positive experience with Murray & Currie. They have always been approachable, offering sound advice and support whenever needed. Their staff are personable, professional, and genuinely keen to help. Recently, when my landlord decided to sell their property, the team at Murray & Currie were very supportive and made what could have been a stressful transition much more manageable. I truly appreciate their help and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring letting agency.

Services in this field explained
A valuation estimates the price a property can achieve on the market, based on location, condition, size, fittings and comparable sales.
What does a valuation cost? Many agents offer an initial estimate free of charge. A formal market value report by a certified surveyor is paid; the fee depends on the property and effort.
When you sell, an agent handles valuation, exposé, viewings, negotiation and the notary appointment.
Who pays the agent's commission? When flats and single-family houses are sold to consumers, the commission is generally split between seller and buyer (§ 656c German Civil Code).
When letting, an agent takes care of listing, viewings, tenant selection and the tenancy agreement.
Who pays the agent when letting? Since 2015 the “orderer pays” principle applies to residential lettings: usually the landlord pays when they hired the agent.
