Established in 1981, the humble beginnings of Montrose Properties began in the front lounge of a semi detached house on Fog Lane, and borrowed its name from the leafy Montrose Avenue in West Didsbury, where the first property on the books was located. Soon to be re-located to, what is still our current location, the old florist shop on the corner of Lapwing Lane and Clyde Road, Montrose steadily grew its portfolio of affordable flats and bedsits and an increasing amount of student accommodation.Over the years, in which was classed in the early days as a relatively deprived area, came an upturn.

Services
We like to visit your property to take details of the accommodation and agree a rental valuation. Rents should include ground rents or service charges but exclude council tax and utilities. We answer any questions you may have so please don't hesitate to ask. We will take high resolution internal and external digital photographs and a walk through video tour can also be arranged and uploaded. Your property will be digitally marketed on our website, social media portals and Rightmove and will be displayed in our office window.
Most of our clients are letting properties for convenience, investment or both. They are looking for proper financial reward without the worry of close involvement. At the same time they want to be assured that they have not lost control of their property. This 'Full Management' service is designed to meet these objectives in every detail and can be catered to your individual needs; involving you as much or as little as you wish. Our Full Management Service includes everything detailed in our Let Only Service, plus the following.
Management Plus is for the landlord who requires further peace of mind. The service is the same as our 'Full Management Service' but also includes the backing of our 'Rent Guarantee and Legal Assistance insurance' should the tenant default on the rent payments. This will be covered by our scheme along with legal assistance for eviction proceedings.
After several years, properties become in need of a little TLC and perhaps require a new kitchen, bathroom or general refurbishment throughout. We have regular, trusted contractors including kitchen & bathroom fitters, electricians, plumbers, decorators, carpet suppliers and fitters, cleaners, window fitters and dressers.

I am landlord with Montrose properties and they have been nothing but amazing! They helped me with really complex maintenance issues I had with my flat. They project managed my bathroom renovation and did it really efficiently and professionally, minimising the time the flat needed to be empty. They also supported me with documentation for my insurance claim and I would have really struggled without their help.
I am so pleased I stopped managing the property myself and got them to manage it for me it is a massive relief and weight off my shoulders! Could not recommend them enough! Thank you!

In my experience they are a great company who look after tenants and landlords alike. They have managed my flat for around 10 years and it's been well looked after, I get regular reports on the condition and my tenant is happy as when things go wrong they deal with it efficiently. I don't live local anymore so I appreciate that these things are covered without me needing to be involved in every aspect or every detail. Not much more to say other thanks for a great service

Where to begin. Absolutely awful company. Outright failed to fix any issues, not just cosmetic ones, but issues seriously effecting the health of residents and neighbours. Despite us providing countless photographic evidence of these problems, nothing was ever done. They were consistently stubborn to deal with and reluctant to even acknowledge the possibility that there is an issue with their property.
Always tried to put the blame on the tenant. And if you think you think you're going to get your deposit back at the end of your tenancy, you are dreaming. Additionally, if you value privacy, forget about it. Landlord would often waltz right into our property with no prior warning. Even taking it as far as entering our bedrooms unannounced. Utterly bizarre. Avoid this company.

I previously rented with Montrose for 6 months, have had a break from them and have just signed an agreement for a different property with them. Across both lettings I've been really impressed with them. Small maintenance issue were fixed very quickly (sometimes same day) and generally they were reasonable and pragmatic. I had some issues with the last place but they mainly stemmed from the place being a little run down and the landlord being reluctant to make changes (ie not Montrose's fault).
They were also fair when moving out, charging a small amount for a few specific bits that weren't clean enough and providing a reciept to show this. The deposit was returned in a timely manner. I've been impressed on this tenancy with their honesty, ringing to tell me about possible sources of daytime noise and keeping me up to date. Overall I'd really reccomend them.

I've just finished a tenancy with Montrose Properties and from start to finish, I was treat with respect and decency far beyond any estate agency I've ever dealt with. They were quick to organise repairs and on the once in a blue moon occasion there was something wrong, they were immediately helpful. Upon leaving and collecting my deposit cheque, which was organised with no faults and a very fair arrangement was made for a clean of my property, they wished me all the best for the future which I thought was a very classy touch. It is rare that as renters we are made to feel like proper customers and I would recommend anybody to rent through Montrose. Thanks again.

I found renting a student property under Montrose properties fine until it came to moving out. They were very poor in their communication and reluctant to help aid the process of getting our deposits back. They failed to send the check out report, leading to a long delay which they then failed to apologise for. Never once did they reply to an email me or my housemates sent them, it took us numerous phone calls to the office before we were finally told that Montrose were waiting for us to send them correspondence!
You'd think if they needed something from us they would ask for it instead of going radio silence on us for nearly 2 months! We finally got out money back, again with no apology. Definitely not worth the hassle to rent with them.

Would not recommend using, not very helpful or understanding at all. Lived in one of their properties for two years, reported broken shower tiles within a month or so of moving in and they send out someone who did a shoddy job, reported several times again and there was nothing done by the time I had moved out. When it came to getting deposit back they overcharged us massively, 300 for "cleaning" haha! Also tried to add on the bill a cost for a mirror which was cracked before we had even moved in.
