By using Templeton Robinson we had more viewings in the first week than we ever had. Moreover the feedback was tremendous with all viewers being telephoned the next day for their opinions, with these comments then being relayed to us. Not only that, all first viewings were conducted by your staff, only second viewings being conducted by ourselves. Also all phone calls about the property were logged and sent by email to us.
The strange thing was, all the companies were charging the same commission! All in all a fantastic service, don't try the rest, use the best.

Neil, just to say a big thank you for all your and your team’s help with selling our property. A few tricky and stressful moments but with your help, we got there in the end! We’ll be sure to give you a ring when we decide to downsize.

I have dealt with Neil Templeton re the sale and purchase of various homes over a period of almost twenty years and can thoroughly recommend him. His professional, pragmatic and friendly approach has always made what can be a stressful and daunting process as smooth and painless as possible. The sale of my most recent home has just successfully completed and he provided me with excellent service and communication throughout. (The TR photographer also deserves a special mention for producing a beautiful series of pictures of my home). The eventual selling price far exceeded my expectations so obviously I am delighted. Thank you again to Neil and the Templeton Robinson team at Ballyhackamore!

Description
Originally dating back to 1888, "Dunkeld" is a most attractive semi-detached villa occupying a generous site on one of east Belfast's premier, tree-lined roads.
Sympathetically modernised, the property retains an appealing warmth and character associated with houses of this era. Beautifully presented throughout, the current owners have recently upgraded the likes of the heating system and driveway/entrance area.
The well-appointed kitchen with its red Aga is large enough to incorporate living and dining areas thus increasing the versatility of the layout. It opens out on to the good-sized rear garden which enjoys both privacy and a south-westerly aspect.
A short walk to Ballyhackamore with its array of shops, amenities, eateries and Glider stops, some of the Province's leading schools are also in the vicinity.
It is only upon internal inspection that one can appreciate all this lovely home has to offer.
