Dear Vigi,
Thank you for your message. I am sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with your experience with T&C, and I understand your frustration regarding your recent rental applications.

Morning Susan, I'm very sorry that you don't agree with the landlord's deposit proposal. Please note that you can dispute any charges that you are unhappy with via the scheme administrators website. For advice on initiating the ADR process, please contact Phil on 01463 224777. An email offering advice was sent on 07/01/2026 - a degree of delay is inevitable around the festive season due to staff holidays, adverse weather and the office being closed.

Fantastic experience: I have had a great experience with Tuchan and Cochrane and would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to rent a property. From the beginning, the team have been incredibly friendly, welcoming and professional. They made the whole process from viewing the property to signing the agreement smooth and stress free. Every member of staff I dealt with were approachable and happy to help. What really stood out was their responsiveness after I moved in. Any issues I came across such as problems with the water and appliances not working were dealt with immediately. It's rare to find a letting agency that's this on the ball and it made a huge difference knowing that I could rely on them if anything went wrong. It's clear that T & C genuinely care about their tenants and take pride in offering a great service. I've felt supported from day one and I would not hesitate to rent from them again in the future . Special thanks to Sandy, Phil and my lovely landlords.

Fantastic experience: Tughan & Cochrane are very responsive and we value their assistance and support for new tenants.
Negative experience: Me and my partner were planning on moving to Inverness, and we came up for viewings around the 11th January weekend. Tughan were initially great, allowing us to view some 2 bedroom properties which were not on Rightmove yet after I said I was finding it difficult to find a house (due to living down South in England). We put an offer / sent the application forms on Friday 10th late, and they were acknowledged on Monday morning. Then everything went downhill - I emailed my agent for updates but she did not email back, so I had to regularly call for updates but they didn't have much information (along the lines of "another agent is dealing with this, I'd have to speak to my manager"). I assumed referencing was already happening, but I wasn't told until Thursday 23rd (nearly two weeks after) that the Landlord was happy to go ahead and referencing would begin (through an external provider). So I'm not sure what was happening for those two weeks. Then referencing happened, that went until Wednesday of the following week - then I got what seemed to be an automated email at 5pm exactly from my original agent saying the Landlord was not going ahead, and I saw the property back on Rightmove. As they closed at 5, I called the following morning to ask - I was told our referencing looked ok, but I should not have been told the "landlord was happy to go ahead", but I was. So it went from being somewhere I thought we were going to get (given early viewings before other people), to wasting 2-3 weeks and money going to view (due to no virtual viewing policy) and then just being told the Landlord doesn't want to go ahead. I understand they cannot share those details, but I should not have been told the Landlord was happy to go ahead. Moreover, they have not told the referencing agency that we aren't going forward - so they have been messaging me about moving, and also it is slowing down applications for other houses due to the agency thinking we are getting two houses (it has been nearly 3 weeks and they haven't told the referencing agency). TLDR; Tughan were very accommodating and polite at the start, allowing me to view properties not on the market yet, but then communication went downhill, I was told the landlord was good to go ahead, but then I was told the landlord did not want to after referencing was done.
Hi Charlie, thank you for the review and acknowledging how polite and accommodating the team at T&C were at the outset. I'm very sorry to hear that you feel communication was poor and slow thereafter. After viewing an apartment on Jan 10th and forwarding your application, it seems that the owner of the property decided to proceed with an alternative candidate - this sort of thing is extremely common due to the demand for rental property in Inverness - often we have upwards of 10 applicants for each property - and it is easy to understand your frustration. Please note that at no point did we communicate to our referencing partner that you had been successful in your application. I am not sure why they told you that the landlord was happy to go ahead and will take this up with the support team on your behalf to avoid this outcome in future. Your application was positive and we would be delighted to help you to secure alternative accommodation if you are still looking - if so please contact us on 01463 224777
Fantastic experience: I have been using the services of Tughan & Cochrane Ltd for 9 years and have found the management and staff to be courteous, knowledgeable, very efficient, and in general highly professional at all times. Would highly recommend this Letting Agent.

Fantastic experience: Tughan & Cochrane have been absolutely amazing in helping me find a property to rent in Inverness! After a few tries I managed to find somewhere but that’s only with the current rental market! They made everything very easy and I felt very supported! What a smooth and pleasant experience! I would definitely recommend to anyone! Rebekah was amazing and very fast at her replies with helping us find somewhere! Thanks again!

Bruce, thank you so much for the positive feedback.
Fantastic experience: This review for Tuchan and Cochran begins in Oct 2006. My wife and I went to Alice's old small office opposite the Cathedral in Inverness where we were greeted by Alice. At this time we were prospective tenants looking for a property to rent in Inverness. Alice was professional, friendly and welcoming. Alice quickly found us a property to rent in Inverness and for the next two years we had a wonderful home. We had by this point saved enough money for a deposit on our first home. Alice gave us some great financial advice. Over the years we kept the advice from Alice and eventually we were in a position to become Landlords. There was only one person we were going to speak to 'Alice' For the last five years Tuchan and Cochran have managed a property for us in Inverness. When our last tenant left the property required a significant clean. Tuchan and Cochran sent in their cleaning team and returned our property to a fantastic condition. As a landlord the years of sweat and tears you put into to buying a property to rent as a long term investment needs to go into the hands of someone you can trust. As a tenant, you need a company that looks after your rights. Makes sure you're rented property is up to code and a safe place to live. Summing up: As tenants and landlords, we have no hesitation in recommending Alice and her team at Tuchan and Cochran. Thank you Alice G&I
G&I. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a positive and thoughtful review. Wishing you both all the very best for the future.
Fantastic experience: My experience with Tughan and Cochrane has been extremely positive, they made the whole process of moving out of home really simple and less stressful for me. Cannot fault them at all!
Mr Hopkins. Thank you very much for taking the time to leave positive feedback. We are delighted to have you as a tenant.
Fantastic experience: I had been a landlord for about 8 years and T&C have provided services for finding, checking and formalising new tenants' agreements (as and when required) throughout that period. Their services have always been smooth, efficient and personable. I recommend T&C to other landlords.
Hi Andrew. Thank you so much for the great feedback. It has been a pleasure to work for you over the last 8 years. The team at T&C wish you the best of luck with the sale of your property.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and professional service.
Martin. Thank you very much for the 5 star review, wishing you all the best in your new home.
Fantastic experience: So helpful throughout the whole process. Amazing company to deal with ☺️
Hi Skye. Thank you so much taking the time leave a positive review. We really appreciate your kind words and it's great to have you as a tenant. Wishing you all the best in your new home.
Negative experience: What a joke of a company. Unprofessional is an understatement. Straight out charge you an end of tenancy cleaning fee even though you ‘properly maintain’ the property. No feedback from them regarding the 6 month inspection visits. Never any issue raised from these however on exiting the property they have the audacity to charge £165 to get it cleaned even though it was left spotless. Was charged a fee for removal of cleaning products etc I left for next tennant. Never return your emails, never return your calls. Left me with a non compliant boiler from Sept ‘23 to Jun ‘24. Zero follow up from them regarding contractors they assign to fix issues to see if the work was completed. Avoid!
I am sorry to learn of your view. We have been pleased to help you over the years and would be pleased to so again in the future. Deposit administration can be a tricky area, but one that is very well regulated. We all benefit from the ability to refer to independent adjudication where a deposit matter divides opinion between parties.
Prior to exiting the property you were given clear vacating instructions and on exiting you were provided with a breakdown of the charges but chose to dispute these through the deposit scheme administrator and the correct procedure has been followed.
Your boiler was serviced and annual Landlords Gas Safety Certificates were in force throughout your tenancy from 2021 to present day.
If I can help further at all at this stage, please of course get in touch.
Negative experience: Absolutely horrible company to deal with. We arranged a viewing of a property as we need to relocate to the highlands to be closer to hospitals etc for our youngest child. Told we could book a viewing, also filled in the tenancy applications form. Everything was brilliant, not even 24 hours after arranging all this we get a call telling us that our viewing is cancelled because we don’t fir the criteria of the landlord for the property. Beyond disgusted, no reason given for why we don’t fit the criteria either which is just horrible. Avoid this complaint at all costs. You’d have better luck living in a tent in the local city under a bridge than dealing with this company.
I am sorry to learn of your view. We, as have the rest of Scotland, a shortage of availability of rental properties with on average 17 people applying for every property.
Having reviewed your application unfortunately it did not meet the criteria. You were timeously advised to avoid an unnecessary lengthy journey.
Negative experience: Absolutely appalling rental company. Every rental we have had we have been charged for cleaning yet the places were more spotless than when we first moved in. They are quick to take your deposit but again not so good at giving it back and you need to chase them for it and then boom, hit with cleaning charges. The last property we had we got professional cleaners in and still they charged a small fee. Paid as we couldn't be farked with the arguing and longer waiting time to get money back. The visits they do are hilarious, walk in with outdoor shoes on and have zero respect for the rentals having beige carpets that mark easily. Most rentals we had also had unwashable paint so again making it harder for tenants to keep clean as you will not be able to clean non washable paint and houses get grubby over time no matter how careful you are. You have been warned

Fantastic experience: Very helpful and a great agency to rent your property out. They really do take care of everything. We've been with them for over ten years, I can certainly recommend them.
Negative experience: Had a very lackluster viewing of a rather shoddy property from a representative that came across as completed disinterested, after taking time out from work for an arranged viewing that quite frankly felt like a complete waste of time.
Fantastic experience: T&C have looked after our property in Inverness for 12 years and have been great - have invariably found new reliable tenants quickly and have kept all the maintenance and regulations up to date.
Fantastic experience: Always very helpful
Fantastic experience: They are one of the best letting agents I have worked with. Excellent customer support
Negative experience: stuck in the dark ages. londoners need to DRIVE to Inverness, 12 hours to VIEW properties, make offers, to then get turned away, because LOCAL got the rental. there is no guarantee of your rental being approved beforehand. no technology. no video conferencing. no video inspections. no electronic platforms. no applications being approved prior to inspection. closed minded industry up here. terrible terrible terrible
Negative experience: Do not rent a property through tughan & cochrane. They do not do any property maintenance even though they insist on doing invasive property maintenance inspections regularly. They will increase your rent repeatedly and ignore any issues you report with the property. There staff talk to you like you are a child and are really condescending.
Negative experience: Four good years of being agents ruined at the end with bad attitude, ignored emails and a month with still no deposit returned.
Negative experience: Unprofessional to the lowest standards, cancelled a viewing 3 times -_-
Negative experience: Avoid them like the plague. This company is an absolute shambles. We wasted 2 valuable weeks with them. They asked all of our personal information and supporting documents and they haven't even done a reference check. Collecting data When we asked any question, they didn't have answer and promised to call us back...I guess they lost our number. If you hope, you are going to find a property with them to rent, most likely you will end up on the street.
Positive experience: Overall a very positive experience dealing with T&C - moving up to Scotland from London was a bit of a nightmare but Bruce was extremely helpful in blocking out almost half a day for viewings and showing me around. They managed to get us a flat on very short notice (we signed 4 days before moving!) and so far every query we've had upon arrival has been followed up quickly and efficiently, and everyone seems very friendly. The only criticism I have is that they don't do virtual viewings, which can be an issue for those moving from afar.
Fantastic experience: Super helpful and exceptionally efficient. I travelled to view two properties in Inverness from the central belt. Only one with T&C and the other agent cancelled last minute. T&C found three other properties on the very same day without delay and showers them to me, and I applied for one that day. All within my requirements. The agent (Leigh) was extremely professional and so much more helpful than any agent I have dealt with. I was in my new home within several days! Would highly recommend.
Negative experience: Gave us appointment to see a house and we found out 10 min before the viewing that it was let agree because we went to take another look on the website. They never told it was let agreed and we were already out of the house. We came from another city.
Positive experience: Big shout out to Lisa at Tughan and Cochrane. She was absolutely fantastic whilst getting me and my partner organised for a new home. Super friendly, helpful, professional and just really down to Earth. Thank you so much
Negative experience: Zero integrity. They care neither for the landlord nor the tenant - just themselves. Landlords beware. They might seem friendly and approachable at first but they are not looking out for your interest. Tughan and Cochrane are in the business to make quick money. They do not do any cross-checks themselves - just an appointed company with an automated system that can be tricked easily and you end up with problems. Once you do have problems, they distance themselves from the equation and leave all the responsibility to you. They collect the application forms and force you to make a decision in a rush so they can get paid. As a landlord with several properties, I would never recommend doing business with them.
Negative experience: Extremely misleading and unprofessional; possibly a SCAM! We recently viewed a property with them and applied after liking the property. The next day, we get a phone call that they are proceeding with the application. A bit later, we got an email from their verification agency - homelet - it looked a bit suspicious - asking for many personal details. Our suspicion was proven right when we discovered it mentioned a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ADDRESS to the one we had applied for. They were extremely unprofessional over the phone when we pointed the error and promised to follow up but never did. We rang them up again and they said the error had been corrected. We proceeded with referencing and then waited for the final offer. Finally, they rang up for us to accept the offer but there was something fishy - they wanted for us to accept over the phone and quoted a property address that was alien to us - STILL A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ADDRESS. They then emailed that the original property has been let out to someone else. SCAMMERS!
Negative experience: Had problems with mice in our rental, were told they'd send out an exterminator -- instead they sent a random old handyman who pointed out a few holes in the house where they could be getting in... and that's it. Offer zero help when trying to find a new property, tell you they'll prioritise you when you have to find a new property due to owner selling but don't even get in contact once you apply. Have to phone them to be told the property went to someone else. Useless at communicating and offer very little help.
Positive experience: I found the agent to be friendly and helpful and any issues which arose were resolved quickly and professionally.
