    Does anyone have experience good or bad with local letting agents in Drogheda? I have a property to rent and having trouble securing the right tenants so thinking of handing the process over to an agent and want to ensure I get the right one! Any recommendations would be welcome.

    As a landlord myself (in the UK), I have to say that the standard of agents here is appalling.

    We returned to Ireland 13 months ago, and moved to the Drogheda area. we went to an agency called Turn key lettings - who merely introduced us to the landland and fecked off. No examination of the property before hand, no checking of utilities, nothing.

    Stay away is my advice and deal with it yourself.

    I agree with the above.

    Graham McCann of Sherry Fitzgerald Drogheda manages a few properties as in 8-10 and would be more hands on as a result.

    Of the others I cannot comment save to say Nest get a very big thumbs down from me.

    Letting agents usually rent to whoever walks in the door, they want their cut as soon as possible and don't care who they get it from.
    I have seen some dumps that were in the hands of letting agents, places that I would class as squats but they wanted €800 a month for.
    Letting agents seem to act for landlords that don't really care what state their house is in and don't care who rents it.
    Thats just my experience.

    A workmate has a house rented out at the moment, just outside drogheda, and he used daft.ie to advertise, so maybe try them.
