I wish I was one of the fortunate ones who only had to wait a month for their deposit. It took McGeowns 3 months to work mine through their accounts. Furthermore I am still waiting for the remaining £50 I am owed- FIVE months and almost two weeks later. Have found them to be the most unprofessional, lazy and infuriating people that I've ever dealt with. A quick rundown of my *most recent* problems with McGeowns: * They have read me the exact same script each one of the 14 times I have called in the past couple of months. "The accountant is working on it, it'll be with you shortly". * I have been told by a member of staff to "call back on Monday". Called back on Monday to find the member of staff had gone on holiday for a week, and I would have to wait. * I have been told to call back at a specified time to speak to the accountant. Called back and was told that it's not possible to talk to the accountant, and to wait another 4 days. * I have written a polite, detailed letter requesting clarification on the situation to McGeowns. Nearly three weeks later, the letter remains completely *ignored*. Issue still not resolved.... In summary, I would advise any students/ freshers/ prospective customers to avoid McGeowns completely if they have any desire to get their deposits/ rebates returned to them without a several month struggle. Not worth bothering with.

Overall my day to day dealings with this estate agent were fine, if not perfect. However there seems to be a real lack of communication within the office. My partner and I requested an additional week be added on to our 12month tenancy approximately 6 weeks before we moved out, which was approved. ... Read Full Review

I have nothing but good things to say about Mcgeown estate agents, and in particular, Tim Luft. Mcgeown's have sold two houses for me in the last 18 months, they got the sale of the second house because I had been so impressed with how they (in particular Tim Luft) sold the first house on the ...

The experience we've had with McGeowns Estate agents is absolutely atrocious. This ranged from a number of problems we had throughout the tenancy, to getting our deposits back after we had moved out. To begin, when we moved in, the house was filthy. We had to scrub it ourselves to get it ... Read Full Review


What agent could do to change your mind?

They could have been more helpful throughout our tenancy, instead of fobbing us off and making us wait. Mold on walls in a house with two out of three residents having asthma is not good, and the fact that they didn\'t seem to care was concerning.
