Our Testimonials

“Scott’s Relocation have revolutionised the most critical part of a candidate’s journey over the last five years, which is their relocation. The feedback from our international candidates has been second to none due to the high-touch and thoughtful approach by Scott’s Relocation. We consider them trusted partners and an integral part of our hiring process, as well as a massive part of our attraction methods when competing for international talent. The settling-in program has meant that our new hires are all set and ready to focus on their new role once they’ve relocated, without having to be occupied with concerns about living arrangements and schooling for their family which is all taken care of by Scott’s Relocation. The ability of Scott’s Relocation to support all our UK sites (throughout COVID-19 too!) means that we have one direct point of contact for all our needs and all our locations, instead of liaising with multiple partners at a time. I can’t recommend Scott’s Relocation enough – they have changed our hiring process, saved lots of valuable time for us, and shone our company in a great light making relocation for new hires such an incredible, efficient and supportive process!”

“When my job took me and my family from the United States to Scotland, we were offered relocation assistance from Scott’s Relocation. When we arrived for a preview trip to Edinburgh, James Freeman was there to welcome us. We had about a week to find a property to rent, complicated by the fact that there were 5 cats also moving with us!

James took us on pleasant drives though Edinburgh and East Lothian to familiarize us with the area, and he arranged several viewings for properties that could meet our unique requirements. With his help we were able to secure a lovely farmhouse to rent, which suited us perfectly. James was a professional and friendly presence during those initial trips to Edinburgh, putting us at ease while we navigated a major transition in our lives.”

“Scott’s Relocation has done a wonderful job of finding us a house well suited to our requirement. Our contact with Scott’s Relocation has continued even after that, thanks to Liz’s genuine interest and effort in making us feel well settled. The coffee morning group started by her is a fantastic way for us newcomers to meet. Moving to a new country can be stressful and daunting and Liz totally understands that and is constantly thinking of new ideas to keep us feeling welcomed and connected. She is indeed our first friend in Edinburgh”

“James went above and beyond to make sure that our clients were well looked after. Many of them were coming from Australia and the time difference was at no time an obstacle. All information provided was spot on and his relationships with property managers saw our clients ahead of the game in a very competitive market. James can be relied upon to provide an extremely professional and personal service at all times.”

“If you are from outside of Scotland and have a son or daughter attending school in Edinburgh and need to find off campus housing for them, you will find it to be an extremely difficult task if you attempt this on your own.  The market for renters in Edinburgh is fiercely competitive.  You will run into many obstacles.  For me, there was a huge time difference, there was a pandemic, my daughter was unfamiliar with local neighborhoods, utilities are set up differently, landlords may not be responsive to your inquiries, and in fact, landlords may change their minds about renting to anyone.

If James Freeman is your relocation agent, he can contact the landlord’s agent and get the facts (e.g., availability date) of the listing.  James can verify the legitimacy of the listing, that the rental unit is as presented in any promotional materials.  He can provide an objective assessment of the rental unit, which a parent at a distance cannot.

 In mid-July of 2020, in the middle of a pandemic, my daughter, a native of California and a post-grad student at a university in Edinburgh, was bumping up against a firm date in mid-August where she was required to vacate her on-campus student housing.  I had already been looking on line with her for a month, trying to understand the rental market in Edinburgh and quickly determined that it was not in the renter’s favor.  I sensed that landlords did not view foreign students favorably and I was unsure of how I could overcome their reluctance.  Fortunately, another realtor recommended Mr. James Freeman at Scott’s Relocation. 

Mr. Freeman was the key to finding an apartment for my daughter and getting her moved.  James helped us locate potential apartments based on our criteria and did all of the in-person inspections.  He provided video documentation of the premises.  He verified working conditions of appliances.  He negotiated the contract and facilitated the signings of my daughter and her roommate, both of whom were not UK citizens.  James also recommended a very reliable local mover.  The first time my daughter actually saw her apartment was the day she showed up with all her belongings.  The apartment was exactly as expected, with no surprises. 

Finding a new apartment for a foreign student during a pandemic would have been impossible without the help of James Freeman.  James was extremely professional and was committed to getting the job done.  He met a tight deadline and was exactly on budget.  If like me, you have a son or daughter attending university in Edinburgh as a foreign student and you the parent are far away, you can count on James Freeman to take care of all of their housing and moving needs.  His communications were always very timely and he always kept me informed. Mr. Freeman’s work exceeded my expectations and I recommend him highly.”
