Available Properties
I can’t recommend this estate agent enough. They made the whole process completely seamless from start to finish. The property was confirmed as ours within 24 hours, and they arranged our move within just two weeks. What really stood out were the personalised little touches along the way — things like asking if I had a preference when it came to my daughter’s room. Those small but thoughtful details genuinely made such a difference.
We recently moved into a property through McGowan Residential Lettings Ltd, and the process was very smooth from start to finish. David was professional, friendly, and helpful throughout, he made sure everything was ready for us.
Dave at McGowan Lettings has been superb throughout our stay in one of his managed properties. He gets back to you immediately with whatever questions you have and anything that needs attention he’s on it straight away.
I’m a new tenant of one of David McGowan’s lettings. The house is lovely, well cared for and the whole process of letting the house was managed well and explained fully. David ensured everything ran smoothly and any issues were quickly and efficiently resolved.
I had a very positive experience with David. From the very first call when I tried to book it for a viewing till the day I picked up the keys and signed a contract, he’s been incredibly professional, friendly and responsive.
Wow! Where do I begin! I can confidently say the experience was exceptional from start to finish. I was worried as a single person I wouldn’t find a private landlord to accept me, David made me feel I had a chance from our first conversation.
Recently I had to leave my own property due to a severe water leak that made it uninhabitable so I needed to rent a property very quickly. I saw a property listed on McGowan Residential Lettings and the whole process was handled quickly and professionally.
I reached out to McGowan Residential Lettings and spoke with David who assisted me with finding a new home. David was excellent and managed to help me secure a property in little time and was professional and thorough during the whole process.
David made the process of renting and moving in unbelievably easy and stress-free. Communication is fantastic, with any issues getting resolved quickly and with no fuss. I would highly recommend renting with McGowan if you can — other estate agencies could learn a thing or two!
