I'm sure they're all great, but talk with Sophie Trainor if you can- she's simply the best at her job. The less concise testimonial: It feels good to report how positive my experience has been with Templeton Robinson. I'd rented with them for the first year I lived in Belfast, and at that point, I'd promised myself that I'd only rent or buy with them as they were noticeably the best agency I'd come across in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Paris, and London combined. The agents who work here are consistently the most trustworthy and professional, not to mention sincerely patient and kind. Foolishly, I broke my promise and (without naming any rival agencies) was disappointed; they are not all created equal. Today, this disappointment has only further emphasised just to what extent the staff of this company is superior. I've recently been dealing with Sophie, and was compelled to write a review purely based on the fact that she is the best agent I've ever met. She's so dedicated and genuine that she stands out, even in a vocation where an efficient and personable disposition is essential.

I have not had much experience with these guys apart from taking a jaunt into their offices whilst passing by. Their office's are a little bare, but its the style of most agents offices now to look kinda of minimal. They were quite friendly to me when I enquired about a property, although they did get a little pushy when I said I'll come back later. I had only come in to be nosey (and grab a sneaky Yelp) but I ended up giving them my mobile number to just get back out of the door! I have heard of some people having problems when they're rented accommodation was being managed by Property People, but who doesn't have a gripe with those people who take your money off you every month!

All the staff were huddled together at a computer giggling eating and making us feel uncomfortable as if we were wasting their time. 3 staff members in the office and when we asked to see a suitable apartment I was told they could fit us in next day at 2 as they were too busy. Went to other agency and got sorted with viewing same day and have happily got sorted. Worst experience ever, no customer service at all. AVOID UNLESS DESPERATE.

Lairds is an estate agent institution. Every student will have been warned and every student will ignore the hazard because Laird is handy. It's located in the university area, they have loads of properties and they put all properties and their details on a nicely designed out sheet for all to see. But that's the easy part over. After this the torment will begin. The dreaded contract with guarantors signing in front of solicitors is enough to scare any new student into oblivion. Then you move in and have the viewings that no-one tells you about. You were out last night, stumbled home, may be semi naked but definitely stinking of booze. It's 9am and you wakened by an estate agent knocking on your door and entering your room with two bright eyed and busy tailed students. Nightmare. However, if you have very little to do and fancy a bit of banter, book a viewing and pray to God you get the little man from Southern Ireland. He's fantastic craic and will leave you with stories from his estate agent past. It's worth it just for him.

I have rented a property from these guys and have to say it is probably one of the worst…read moreexperiences ever. After reporting that there is a leak in the property a number of times, there seems to be nothing done about it. When they want access to the property they give you 24 hours notice and gain entry, despite me telling them that I want to be there when they come round and try and rearrange, they don't want to hear any of it. Their staff is rude, and quite lazy. They don't reply to all emails, only the ones they want to reply to. Took months to get a simple thing sorted at the start, and now have been waiting months for them to fix the leak, still no sign of getting fixed. These guys are small and I thought their service would be high as most small business, unfortunately not. There are plenty of other estate agents around in Belfast, and I highly recommend you find someone else to rent a property through as you will have headaches if you go with these guys. You have been warned.
