Piney Developments Ltd

Renting with Piney has been great. Byron and Robert were so helpful and quick to reply, sorting out any issues we had asap.

Great agency, Robert is quick to reply to emails and he addresses any potential issues regarding the property promptly - would highly recommend this agency

Very happy with my renting experience with Piney Estate Agency. Byron was very helpful and his clear communication made everything straightforward.

We rent a flat with Piney and now renewed the contract for another year, excellent customer service and speed response for any problem, highly recommended!

Renting from Piney Estate Agency has been an excellent and relaxing experience. Byron, right from the very initial meeting has been the best example of property management. I am extremely grateful for his speedy communication, detailed answers and willingness to go the extra mile. I am enjoying this renting experience so much, that I am considering remaining in this apartment. Thanks for making this chapter of my life enjoyable and hassle free.

Great customer service from Byron Needed a reference for new property and Byron went above and beyond to help me secure it as I had rented years previously. Great and friendly service! Would recommend as very helpful.

Very professional service, myself and some friends rented a house through this estate agents whilst at university and we had no problems with this agency. They are very easy to get in contact and are very clear in their communication to us the tenants. A great agency to go with for anyone including students. Highly recommend!

I must leave a good comment today! I was tenant for 2 years. Good service and lovely attitude! They are kind to students, no need guarantor or full payment. I am not the tenant of them now. Today, for my new agency, a group of people suddenly broke into my room, and they didn't explain their intentions at all. I thought I missed the notification email and didn't dare to question them. I started to feel sick until I checked my email and found no notifications at all!

Staff are very helpful. The best Estate Agency we have dealt with.

Byron was especially helpful anytime we had an issue in the house (which was very rare) and was able to give me a great reference for moving into a new apartment! Highly recommend this estate agent for students!

Find a nice rental in a few minutes. Helpful, friendly, and professional staff. Excellent service. Responsive: I was able to view a property and talk to the landlord immediately. The property suits me well. Any questions and requests could be handled by Byron perfectly. The office located near Queen's University Belfast - providing nice service to students and university staff. For Chinese students, you could add Byron on WeChat and he is there to help with your inquiries. :

Very well organised, no issues with the property and was cleaned prior to our tenancy. 10/10, would recommend.

I was a tenant through Piney for a year of University. They were perfect, flawless handover of keys, property cleaned well and no hassle during the lease. I have no complaints and would recommend to anyone.

Dealt with Byron for the 2 years I rented with Piney over two different houses. Excellent service, professional, constantly available and any problem we ever had was fixed within the day. Would highly recommend to any students looking for a house in Belfast.

Really quick and responsive in helping you out & never had any issues in all our time with them. Also helped me and my partner out with getting a reference free of charge! Great agency to be with - would definitely recommend!

A first class, efficient and professional service. Hastings Campbell is very knowledgeable and helpful and made our first time letting experience extremely straightforward and seamless. Would highly recommend Piney Estate Agents.

Can't recommend this letting agency highly enough. Hastings makes the whole process of preparing and letting a property extremely easy. My apartment was let with a suitable tenant within a week. He and his team are super efficient and I would trust his judgement entirely.

Piney have no regard or respect for their tenants. Firstly, midway through the year they gave the keys to our house to insurers without any prior notification to us that 1. they had keys to our house 2. they were coming to evaluate the house. They didnt even check to see if these people were who they said they were. We only found out they were coming once they had came in through our front door. Secondly, at the end of the year once we were moving out, one of their agents had let himself into our house to tell us to get out by the 31st July without telling us they were coming, again.

When we rang up to complain they did nothing about this and made excuses such as 'they had tried to get in contact with us'. They had our contact emails and numbers yet we had no missed calls, emails, voicemails. nothing. Definitely look somewhere else if you're looking a house.

This is basically where the students go when they need a house and there are unfortunately a few problems which go along with that. Piney is located right in the student area of Stranmillis and prides itself as being one of the primary letting agents in south Belfast with some notable focus on the student market (namely large houses with between 4-6 bedrooms within a mile or two of the area) They are however a bit of nightmare to deal with. I've heard numerous stories about them being notoriously hard to reach, vague when trying to sort issues, a nightmare when a problem arises and in general all round poor service.

My run in was a few years back when we were looking for a five bed house in the area. We ended up getting shown around the same property, twice within a week, and it was. an absolute dive. Try and look around yourself and maybe try a few online sites to compare properties more accurately yourself.

Ha-ha notorious Piney. Everyone who is a student knows about Piney. And not for good reasons. Piney prides itself on having a large share of houses within the student area, so hence everyone knowing about them. Piney does not do what housing estate agents are supposed to, and that is pride itself on providing the best service for their wonderful clients. Rather, they get themselves a flock of tenants, then they give the keys, collect the money and that's it.

Perhaps they tried once a long time ago to make the best of a bad market, and perhaps they tried to be as friendly and as gracious to students as possible, and perhaps they were burned by some unruly household who broke a mirror or unscrewed a door, because now sadly they just don't even try anymore. My girlfriend used Piney in first year and despite there being a number of problems with the house that they were told would be fixed, they never were.

And no amount of complaining got them fixed. And I dare say if we went round to the house, the problems would still be there. If you want a house, Piney will sort you out. If you want good service, look elsewhere. Piney just don't care anymore.
