FacebookThe whole team at Montgomery & McCleery are fantastic, empathetic & compassionate people.
They have helped & supported me transitioning from one rental property to another. I have been a tenant in 2 of their properties over approx. 5 years and I doubt I will ever use another agent as they are all an absolute pleasure to deal with!!! Shout out to Lynn, Collette, Charlene & Matt.
Thank you all again for you help over the years :)

GoogleI recently rented a property through Montgomery & McCleery, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, David, Mathew, and the entire team were professional, responsive, and genuinely helpful.
They made the whole process smooth and stress-free, from arranging viewings to handling paperwork and move-in details. Communication was excellent throughout, and any questions or issues were dealt with quickly and efficiently.
It’s rare to find an agency that combines professionalism with such a personal touch, but Montgomery & McCleery truly deliver on both fronts. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to rent or buy property.
Thank you again to David, Mathew, and the whole team for making the experience so positive!

GoogleThe staff at Duke Street were so helpful and friendly. They went over and above the standard. You couldn't ask for better. The company should be proud of who they have employed. An elderly gentleman fitted a new postbox for me today and was absolutely precious and took pride in what he does. I could aspire to be like this fellow Creggan man....he gave me some good life advice. All in all my experience with Montgomery and Mccleery has been positive. 🙂🤘

GoogleRented the same property from these cowboys from 2017 to 2021. I was warned about them before I took the house but I thought I’d take my chances and hope i get a better experience, of course I didn’t and I was wrong.
First issue was when I first moved into the property, there was “supposedly” oil in the oil tank, turned heating on and radiators were ice cold. Got into estate agents about this, they sent out a plumber who said there was no oil and to get some, so I got 200 litres put in, oil still wasn’t working.
Contacted estate agents again, they sent out the same plumber who advised the burner needed bled as was airlocked (due to Montgomery and McCleery not having sufficient oil for new tenants).
They then had the cheek to send out an invoice for 2 separate plumber call outs costing £50. Now I don’t know how everyone else looks at this but in my opinion, I wasn’t at fault for either of the two plumbing issues. I was threatened by Lynn Forbes to pay the invoice or I would be in breach of my contract over the phone, so I paid it as I didn’t want to lose the property. (P.S Lynn Forbes is a nasty piece of work if anyone has had the pleasure of dealing with thon most unprofessional worker you’ll ever speak to).
Next issue, I replaced the Lino in the kitchen to brand new heronbone grey Lino which was still brand new condition when moving out, also replaced the dated carpet on the stairs and landing to beautiful grey carpet in fantastic condition when moving out. Renovated the back garden to a beautiful back garden (before and after pictures attached). (All work carried out in 2021)
I still didn’t get any of my deposit back and they had the cheek to say I owe them £250 LOL. Maybe if they sold the brass on Lynns neck they might get the £250.
Avoid these cowboys at all costs, and don’t bother doing up the property and maintaining it as it counts for nothing when it comes to your deposit.

GoogleI have dealt with Montgomery for at least five times for rental.
Not even a single time they give proper reason and it all seems pre decided who is gonna get the rental.
Some days even after visiting within 30 mins they rejected my application..
Absolute joke of an agent!

Dear Pritam,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your search for a rental property hasn’t been successful so far. We understand how frustrating that can be and truly appreciate your patience. We encounter many people weekly having similar issues with finding a suitable property as demand is high and stock is very low.
If you have any specific feedback on the properties you've viewed or your experience, we’d love to hear it. Please don’t hesitate to let us know if there’s anything else we can assist with.
Thanks again, and we hope to continue working with you in the future

GoogleRecently sold my property with them. Fantastic marketing of the property so that it was positioned correctly for the local market. As someone who lives outside the local area their local knowledge was invaluable. Kept up to date with viewings and bids so that I never had to chase on the case. Property sold in around 1 week from going on the market. Very happy with the service and would highly recommend if you want quality as well as peace of mind.

GoogleI owned, and was resident in a property until a few years ago and when my personal circumstances changed I decided to rent out my home ;I was recommended to use Montgomery and McCleery as my letting agent. I just wanted to take this opportunity to convey my appreciation ( having recently installed a new tenant , on my behalf) ; their levels of service, communications and efficient, helpful approach have been exemplary and I am deeply grateful. I have largely dealt with Lynn ( and found her to be fantastic) but have had occasion to deal, and liaise with, other members of the team. Their very professional, helpful and efficient work is deeply appreciated; all my dealings with the staff thus far have been very positive. I understand the heavy workload they have but it is really impressive that they manage to deal with cases such as mine with prompt, individual personal attention.
Keep up the great work; I really can't over estimate the superlative work this team do!
With thanks for all you do on behalf of property owners such as myself.

FacebookWell where do I start with a review with this estate agent!!!
I was disgusted to hear that this estate agent is famous for ripping people off with their deposits. When a friend of mine came to me and said this agent would not give them their deposit after promising the return of the deposit when a new client occupied the premises. The shop was actually left in a better condition when my friend left the premises, no damage at all and there was no reason to keep a deposit other than greed. You will not get your deposit back from this agent if you take them in. Shame on you Montgomery!

GoogleI have previously rented a property with Montgomery & McCleery and always had fantastic support from them. Any repairs or issues throughout the time me and my husband were at the property were dealt with swiftly and to the highest standard. I always felt listened to and Montgomery and McCleery staff were genuine, positive and so helpful. Thank you for everything over the past few years of renting with you.

He was able to keep details in mind and solve problems before informing us. He gave useful suggestions and we can feel that our interest was considered . The most important, he is always there when you need talk to him. Fully recommend their professional service.
