McClearys Property Sales Belfast reviews

I would like to thank Simon, Alan and everyone at McCleary’s for their help in selling our family home. From the start, they outlined their plan to sell the house and did so in a sensitive manner given that this has been our home from the 1970s. Their professionalism and expertise in the local market shone through and made the process very straightforward. I have no hesitation in recommending the services of McCleary’s.

Simon was fantastic from start to finish, he was professional and set realistic expectations, pricing the property appropriately which lead to a relatively quick and definitely easy sale. I would highly recommend working with him and his colleagues at McClearys.

I've used McClearys a couple of times now and have been really pleased with my experience with the team. They were very helpful with my last property sale, offering great advice and a professional service. Would definitely recommend them!

Where do I start ,Simon is cocky & overly confident of his abilities ,I certainly would not want him in my business as an employee,never mind a partner.I had to ask Alan for feedback on my property as it wasn't Forth coming ,none of staff could apologise & seemed to deflect ,apart from Alan's son .An appointment for viewing was cancelled,nobody told me,people arrived for viewings I had to start showing them around .Simon gave me very bad advice, did not measure rooms correctly& I felt my house sale wasn't a priority &was felt frustrated by always asking the team what was going on ,Alan the owner told me "if it's bad news we don't like to rely this "let's face if that is part of there job .even had to ask for epc to be done, as there didn't seem to be any rush .Simon disappeared when going got tough.I was very let down & after five weeks of unprofessional behaviour decided to remove my house from sale. McClearys claim to be the best in the area & are not cheap ,from my experience in March/ April 2025 they fall well below standards they claim to up hold..I was charged for nothing ,didn't even sign an agreement, ,beware of "3 generations of experience" ,I rest my case .

Moving home is pretty stressful, but throughout the entire process Simon in McCleary's was there to help solve issues and advice from start to finish. We spent a few months deliberating when to sell, and took Simon's advice; his local knowledge of the market is second-to-none. We'd sold in less than a week, a true testament to Simon's experience. This also shone through when we had a few hurdles to jump over, and again Simon was on the other end of the phone getting it over the line through contractors, solicitors and buyers. Straight-talking and on your side, it was clear we'd made the right choice and I wouldn't hesitate recommending McCleary's for selling!

I rented out a property from McClearys for a year. Whilst most of the process at the start was good, things went down hill towards the end. Due to extreme damp and mould conditions (at no fault of my own) I had to vacate the property before the tenancy was over. I addressed my health concerns with the council, McClearys and the landlord. The landlord obviously disputed my claims even though there was blatant evidence, the council was backlogged with work and I was in a waiting list and McClearys offered little to no support or assistance as they were being paid by the landlord. Many emails were sent backwards and forwards between myself and McClearys and they provided conflicting information. The issue reached one of the top business partners at McClearys (not naming names) and it was dealt with in a very rude and unprofessional manner. There was no duty of care and they only cared about the money. The property proceeded to be readvertised unsuccessfully which I suspect was due to its poor inhabitable condition. The council ended up getting back to me telling me the property did not have a valid certificate of fitness which was required under the private tenancies (NI) order 2006, and that I had a valid case. Unfortunately I had just moved out of the property and lost the deposit to the landlord. I will be avoiding this agency in the future.

We both bought our new property and sold our old one through McClearys. We dealt with Simon, and its honestly been one of the most professional, genuine and friendly experiences we've had. He had our house sale agreed in just over a week and secured our new property for us in the same time. Could not have asked for a better experience, and I would highly recommend both McClearys and specifically Simon to anyone looking to sell their home or purchase a new one.

We were tenants of a property managed by McClearys for around 2 years. From arranging to view the property right through until the end of our tenancy, McClearys provided an excellent service. Everyone we encountered was friendly, professional and reliable. There was a sense that the team were equally concerned with both our interests as tenants and those of our landlord. Our tenancy ran smoothly throughout and McClearys were very respectful and understanding of any needs/issues we had. Communication was prompt, clear and transparent. Having rented via many other estate agents during the last 10 years, I'd thoroughly recommend McClearys as being the best. I'd have no hesitation in buying, selling or letting through this agency.

McClearys provided a professional and responsive service to my wife and I when we identified a property in Belfast that we were keen to purchase. We flew from London to Belfast to view the house in question and Thomas afforded us plenty of time to view the property and addressed some initial questions we had; this was a nice surprise as in the past we have found that property agencies tend to want to get you in and out of a property quickly. Having time to assess the property in more detail allowed us to make an informed decision. Once we made an offer on the property Simon made sure we were kept informed during what was a competitive process (others also wanted to buy the property). When we finally secured the property, Simon, Thomas, and Alan, guided us through the process and went out of their way to ensure that any issues that arose were resolved without delay. Buying a property is a stressful process but the team at McClearys have the knowledge and experience necessary to manage this stress and reassure the buyer that even the most challenging issues can be resolved. We were extremely happy with the service that McClearys provided and have no hesitation in recommending this Estate Agent.

I’ve used McClearys twice when buying and selling a house. They’ve always been so helpful and thorough, making sure all my needs and expectations were met but mainly making the whole experience very seamless and stress free. Big thanks to the team, especially Thomas who’s always so easy to work with.

Can't thatnk the guys at mcclearys enough Simon and Allan are tremendous. Simon able to offer real I ought I to market how nest to generate interest and best price. From coming out to meet with is prior to house going on market, individual viewings to best give potential buyers time to ponder to ask questions to regular updates. They are clearly a step ahead off all other estate agents highly recommend

Very disappointing the customer service from McClearys. We had put an offer down on a property (over the asking price) however the seller wanted to hold out to see if could get more money. When weeks went by, we contacted McClearys to try to get a yes or no answer from the seller(so we knew were we stood) with the house, they said they would speak to owners and let us know. They never did let us know and we were blanked! A few weeks later we called to say we were withdrawing our offer as no communication, and the girl said she would get Alan to ring us back and that didn't happen either! Very poor service and communication terrible.

I have now bought two properties and sold two properties with Simon in McClearys and could not be happier with the service. From start to finish he always kept us up to date with what was happening and helped explain any problems that had came up and help keep me calm on many occasions. Also the knowledge he had of selling in the local area is fantastic and led to two quick sales. Definitely the only estate agent I would use if ever selling again.

Was so glad we used McClearys to sell our property, dealt with Simon who was very knowledgeable about the area, ensured we obtained the best price and kept us updated on a regular basis throughout the process. Highly recommend.

Avoid. I had liked my house until they took over. My best memory was when they gave me incorrect bank details. My worst, getting home to find none of the maintainace I had begged for months had been carried out wasn't done. However their contractor had gotten dirty footprints on my bed and put a ridiculous wooden gate where there had been a perfectly good metal one. Simple repairs. Six months of back and forth which they then claimed were complete. My landlord had to get another contractor. Work was completed in less than a day. Avoid these guys.

We used McClearys recently to sell our house and we had a brilliant experience. Simon and the team were great at keeping in touch when they needed to, but without bombarding us.

I instructed McClearys and 3 other local agents to value my property, but McClearys were far and away the most on the ball and knowledgeable about the realities of selling a house in East Belfast. They knew the market well, they were spot on with their valuation and I felt they understood my property and would market it to the right people. From day one, Simon and the team were very positive and filled me with great confidence that they would not only sell my property, but also manage the process for me. Everyone knows selling a house can be stressful, but Simon kept me informed every step of the way and worked hard to market my property well, so I knew I was in good hands. I am delighted with sale outcome and I would have no hesitation in recommending Simon and the team to anyone looking for an agent with excellent local knowledge and a great database of real buyers.

From the minute we decided to sell with McClearys, they were friendly, professional and great value. They are dedicated and always easy to contact. I felt at ease selling my house knowing that they were taking care of every aspect. Other estate agents did not compare to McClearys knowledge on the east Belfast area and the market. Special thanks to Simon and Alan! Would recommend 100%!

Very happy with the service when selling my property. Simon and Thomas were very patient with taking many prospective buyers around. In addition Simon massively sped up the process of getting my damp proof course done. Made a complicated process much smoother and would happily use again. Andrew
