MACFAR Property Reviews 

MacFar started working on our apartment complex in Drogheda officially in April 2026 after a few months lead in time. In the months runing up to the start date everything was explained and presented very clearly. In partucular Louise, who was assigned to us, was available as much as we needed during this time and process. Implementing MacFar in to the running and general management of our complex means that we can avail of their extensive list of local Trade, Construction and General Maintaininance contractors thus taking out the hassle and time consuming effert it takes to get any task booked in and completed. They are setup to take the reins from the start as well as being a point of contact for all unit owners, occupiers and tennants on site. MacFar and Louise have been a fantastic support to us and the overall level of manageing our complex has already improved in only a few short months. With more work and areas of the site to cover I have no doubt that Louise and MacFar will get everything we need lined up and running in good order going forward.

poor communication lack of response phones not answered
Strange there is a response to the review but not to phone calls and e mails this is a genuine review and I am a client that you have not responded to

They provide secretarial service
On hand to help with day to day issues
A must for directors peace of mind
And there's a human being on the other end of the phone

I find Macfar to be an excellent company, reliable, quick to respond and most helpful. Personal service and prepared to go above and beyond..
I would recommend Macfar to any group requiring a property management service.

Staff at Macfar are very pleasant and helpful. Would recommend.

I had one of the best experiences living in a property that was managed by Macfar, the common areas were always immaculate and any issues such as new lighting etc were taken care of quickly and without causing any inconvenience to us tenants.

Louise was extremely well prepared for our Annual Homeowners’ meeting. She fielded many challenging questions, using understandable explanations and analogies. She kept the meeting on focus and steered everyone through the agenda in a very professional and positive tone.
Louise was extremely thorough in her recap of past meetings and the status of the Homeowners’ issues.
In advance of the meeting she assisted the directors in preparations and finalized many open issues in order to present progress over the year to the homeowners. She was very supportive of our future recommendations and efficiently proposed motions and put them in action.
Louise is a wonderful partner to Cul Na Balla and we can all trust her and rely on her to support us and provide the services we require.
We give our thanks to Louise for her dedication to our association and could not ask for better service.

Very professional but also down to earth and easy to discuss with them about matters that need attention. Paperwork always up to date and no timing issues. Prompt to act on behalf of the residents and always available to talk with them. Excellent value for money. Perfect!

Macfar are such a helpful management company, I would highly recommend seeing them if interested in renting.

Great staff..very responsive towards rentants need.
Never had any problems approaching them.
Very professional team.

We are in the process of setting up a management company for our estate. MACFAR were kind enough to send a representative to one of our committee meetings. Deborah was unbelievably helpful. She answered every question put to her buy every member with a detailed knowledge of the industry. She even answered questions that we hadn't thought to ask. She made something that had previously been extremely daunting, totally manageable.

This management company are an absolute disgrace. For over a year we have had no lift working in the harbour view apartments in balbriggan, we have asked months for this to be fixed. Two small children having to be carried up four flights of stairs every time I visit my mum, my grandmother cannot visit because she cannot do the stairs. Shopping and everyday tasks are a nightmare, the buzzer also is not working so to let someone in you have to walk down and back up again another major inconvenience. Staff pass you from pilar to post when asked and then they expect you to pay a Maintance fee on time every year. Thankfully we are in a position to question this management company as most tenants are renters and are afraid to speak out Incase it jeopardises their lease. Happy to take the money but not happy to do the work

I endured two years of misery renting a Mourne View Hall property that was not only uninhabitable but managed by landlords who demonstrated a complete lack of respect for their tenants.

The apartment was infested with mice, and despite constant complaints, management did nothing to solve the issue. Living in an unsanitary environment filled with pests was stressful and harmful. To make matters worse, there was mould throughout the apartment, which was hazardous to my health. Management ignored these serious concerns, leaving us to suffer in unacceptable conditions. The only thing what again is we bought from our pockets the chemicals that where needed to clear the mould and mice that where running around in our apartment we had to kill them with one with poison or traps that we bought from our self .

Beyond the deplorable living conditions, the way management treated us was outrageous. They have zero respect for their tenants, especially international students like myself. Rather than addressing maintenance issues, they were more concerned with taking our money.

When we voiced concerns, they didn’t just ignore us they escalated to threats, boldly stating that our actions would be reported to the college to intimidate us into silence. The only thing that work to get something done was not paying the rent .This kind of manipulation shows how little they care about the well-being of their tenants.

After suffering for two long years in this environment, I finally found a more suitable place to live. However, my story didn’t end there. The landlord denied my deposit back by citing an irrelevant Reason, further proving their complete disregard for fairness and tenant rights.

I urge anyone considering renting this property to stay far away from them. This place is a nightmare—uninhabitable conditions and unlawful practices are all you’ll find here. Don’t fall victim to these exploitative landlords who take advantage of international students while providing nothing in return but health risks and disrespect

Company does nothing to actually manage the estate. Keeps on taking money and ignores queries from the payers..STAY AWAY

From the minute I met Deborah she was so pleasant and welcoming, she made the process run so smoothly and keep me up to date with every detail. Absolute gem! I’m so happy to be dealing with her.

I contacted Deborah at Macfar property when I was having difficulty with a lease agreement with my then Landlord and Letting Agent. Deborah was very professional and approachable and gave informed advice on the situation from a landlord's point of view. She took the time to read any emails and documents I sent her and was always eager to help even late in the evening or at a weekend, she always got back to me promptly with encouraging advice. I was very grateful for her input.

I've used other Management Companies in the past, but none have excelled in the area of professionalism as much as MacFar Property. They are always available and responsive to any questions or issues I have...and are willing to share their knowledge and experience to steer me in the right direction, which gave me peace of mind when I needed it most...I would highly recommend Macfar, they are the best at what they do.

Amazing Company, Never a minutes bother with any issues brought to them, everything always resolved efficiently and effectively.

Good honest bunch. Easy to work with, easy to communicate with!
Would definitely recommend
