So have previously reviewed the above SP with varying levels of success due to the fact that it's a bit of a lottery who will be providing the service but more often than not it's generally good.

Two weeks ago I messaged in morning and arranged to meet for 1hr at 1pm. Received confirmation as ok and again confirmed around 12:15.

Turned up at location, paid for parking, was there around 15 mins early. As I had been before I knew the flat number.  So at 1pm I went to the buzzer and pressed it, just as I done this an older gentleman, around 70 years of age approached door to enter, he asked if I was going in, I said yes and opened the door. 

Obviously not ideal and awkward going in with someone else there so decided to hold the door open for him and hoped he would take the lift whilst I would use the stairs. Unfortunately he started to ascend the stairs so I followed behind him. SP apartment is on first floor so hoped he would keep going and I can peel off into first floor corridor. Just my luck he is going into first floor corridor also. So held back and thought I would allow him to go to whatever apartment he is going to and allow the coast to clear.

So I'm in the central stairwell and thought I'll hold back, but I can see down the first floor corridor discreetly through the viewing angle I had.  To my abject disbelief he goes to SP door, gently taps and the magic door swings open, in he goes and I can hear them muttering pleasantries to one another.

By this time I'm both confused and shocked. I turned back, got back in car, messaged irately to the SP, no response.

Had to laugh to myself that this old guy had essentially beat me to it but luckily I held back or the situation could have been even more awkward and I really didn't fancy a couples massage with my elderly friend!

So all in all never again, really disappointed but thought I'd share as I am sure some of you guys will get a chuckle out of it.

NEGATIVE!

I have been to this flat several times with no problem until the last time.

I made an appointment and texted from round the corner 5 minutes before the booking time, silence. I tried again 5 minutes after the due time, silence. I texted again a few minutes later to ask if she had got my text, silence. I went to the coffee shop along the road to replan my afternoon.

About 20 minutes after the booking time I got a text to ask if I was coming, I should have replied not in the coffee shop I'd be arrested. As I was only one minute away I replied and said that I would be 2 minutes. I buzzed the entry system no more than 2 minutes later, silence. I wonder now if someone else had turned up in those two minutes?

I have been to that flat several time so I had the correct flat and correct buzzer. It is a modern small building on an upmarket busy street. The entrance is almost on the pavement so you don't want to hang about like a spare bit. I send a text thanking her very much for wasting my time and left.

Looks like I'm not the only one having problems with this SP then, which is a shame as they have been generally reliable for a number of years but they really need to get their act together soon or reputation is going to plummet.

Scotty, sorry to hear of your bad experience also. Very disappointing -  maybe you should add neg review also, which will let others know what they may experience when booking this SP.

Echoes my last experience. I was double booked as well as per my review a terrible booking I was unfortunate that I was the one who got in. Your lucky the auld fella beat you to the door or you couldve got the fleecing I got  :dash:

For some reason my neg review doesn't show up with the others from this SP  :unknown:

I had the same issue, booked for 7pm. Got parked along the road and sent a text asking for the flat number, no response. Tried calling, nothing. 725pm got a phone call asking if I was still there. I was still there as I was on aw trying to find a plan b. So I agreed and went along to the block of flats, pressed the buzzer, another 10 mins hanging about the door, I wouldn't go back for another visit after that.
