(See my review on Northern Property NI, I added the company on here as it conveniently seemed to avoid Yelp somehow). We told them what we went through and they wanted to help us straight away. We went for a viewing of an apartment right round the corner from the place we were meant to move in to with those Northern Property glipes and this place was in immaculate condition! Every fraction of the place was sparkling. There was a brand new mattress on the bed, sofas etc as advertised. It was massive and £25 cheaper for better quality (see my other review on that). We had our own furniture though but because the guy who owned the place was now living abroad he couldn't take the things away so we put them in the spare bedroom and my partner used it as a man cave lol the only thing was we had a few insignificant faults that we contacted them about and a guy came out to have a look and log them but nothing was ever done about them in the year we were there no matter how many times they came out to look at them. The maintenance manager is a lovely guy and the girl Sinead we were dealing with was brilliant, they're all so friendly you could happily talk to them all day! The only reason why we left was we were expecting our first baby and there wasn't the room for the nursery because of the owners furniture but I would recommend this company to everyone!

Having viewed other places with other agents and feeling uncomfortable and almost forced to make decisions, McGranaghans was the complete opposite. They were patience, guided us clearly and we always very upfront. From the staff on reception to the mortgage advisor, they were all magnificent.

Neill Estate Agents are one of the best known and most respected estate agents in Northern Ireland…read more They offer the usual services of properties for sale, properties for rent, new developments, commercial properties, sites and land, short stays and overseas properties. They have an excellent website and the staff are always welcoming and non intrusive whether you are in the shop or out viewing a property. Me and my friends viewed a few properties with these guys when we were students and I always found them to be helpful, polite and honest. They did not want to oversell to us or pressure us. I found this relaxing and refreshing. It was maybe because they sell lots of flats to students due to their Ormeau Road location but I found the service to be excellent.

I dealt with them a couple of years ago when I needed to rent a property. I found them extremely helpful as they spent a couple of full days showing me around a range of houses and apartments. I found a property through them and they sorted out the administrative work quickly and efficiently. After I found the property I didn't have any further dealings with Belvoir, as I then dealt directly with the landlord. However Belvoir were refreshingly professional, friendly and helpful and would be my first choice if I needed an estate agent again.

This local credit union is a real establishment in North Belfast. Pretty much everyone has an…read moreaccount here, because they are waaaaayy better than a bank and more trustworthy. You can save away and then borrow against your earnings and they always have realistic payback agreements, and never let you borrow an unbelievable amount that you know you won't be able to pay back. They are helpful, courteous and down-to-earth - the staff always remember you and treat you as a valued customer, which is more than I can say for some banks. They recently had a new building established and it's light, spacious and modern, with suitable seating for those waiting to be seen, and lots of information about upcoming local events on the LCD montitors scattered around. They are also heavily involved in developing and improving the community and recently held the Newington Credit Union Young Peoples Awards, which were a testament to thier commitment to the local people. If you live in Belfast and you haven't got a Credit Union Account, I would recommend you get started....you'll thank me.

You put money into your account and thus are able to borrow either on the value of your savings or against your wages, the latter enabling you to take out more. The staff are always really friendly and remember your face. As Emma P said, the building went through a complete revamp and it now looks fantastic. The old building reminded me of some sort of centre were you got your communal wages in the GDR.
