The team at Herbert and Lansdowne Estate Agents were an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish. They managed the sale of our apartment, including all pre-sale maintenance, cleaning and painting/preparation seamlessly. There is no doubt that a property sale will always have an element of stress involved, but I can’t thank Aoife, Niall and the extended team enough for managing everything so well. If we are ever selling again, I would not hesitate to call them into action again!

We had a very positive experience with this company. They are very professional, well organized, and always helpful when needed. Communication was clear and they responded quickly whenever we had a question. The whole process was handled in a very respectful and professional way. We appreciate their support and would definitely recommend them to others.

Let's just say that they haven't become better after they've acquired/merged with previous Redmond agency.

Aoife has been fantastic from showing the house right through to the close. I would highly recommend using herbert&Lansdowne

I would not recommend this leasing agency based on our experience. Our tenancy ended early due to the landlord cancelling shortly after the six-month mark, which placed significant pressure on our family with three children. Despite us cooperating fully and vacating early for the landlord’s benefit, the agency later supported an attempt to introduce additional rent charges that were never communicated to us at the time. A major issue is that their leasing contracts are internally contradictory, particularly around cleaning requirements. Multiple clauses state “thorough cleaning,” while only one mentions “professional cleaning,” creating inconsistency that appears designed to catch tenants out at move-out. Throughout the process, the assigned agent, Sarah, consistently took the landlord’s side, even where charges were raised after we had vacated and despite clear miscommunication. Several charges were later withdrawn, which only highlighted how poorly handled the situation was. Overall, there was a lack of transparency, poor communication, and little regard for the impact on tenants. If you are renting through this agency, read every clause carefully and get everything in writing — especially around move-out, rent, and cleaning expectations.

Great, efficient and quality service in both recently letting our property and its ongoing management

We've been working with Aoife since before she was at H&L, and we've been very happy with the level of service and outcomes. She is very responsive on email, and always available for a call. She's been quick to find replacement tenants when needed, and is very knowledgeable about the Dublin market and real estate laws and tax regulations, which has been very valuable to us as overseas clients. H&L also has a robust email and messaging system, and does a good job managing documents and processes.

We have worked with Alan McMurray in Herbert & Lansdowne for nearly 15 years. They are always on hand to discuss any queries and issues, secure great tenants and are excellent at problem solving. They are honest and don't just tell you what you want to hear so you always know where you stand and are better equipped to tackle any challenges that may arise. I would highly recommend them to anyone that owns a rental property.

This team is highly professional and provides an amazing level of service. Their responsiveness and proactive approach mean that nothing is ever an issue. Living abroad, having agents who prioritize and secure my interests has proven to be vitally important. I place my full confidence in their ongoing work and would unreservedly recommend these agents!
