Holywood based estate agency, McCullough Residential, are seeking high end properties to meet the growing demand of film production companies acquiring accommodation in Northern Ireland.
With the increasing rise of TV and film production across the region, owner Conor McCullough (pictured) has become the leading supplier of luxury homes for filming directors and crews. Clients include online streaming giant Netflix, CBBC, Paramount and HBO.
McCullough Residential provides hassle free letting, professional and efficient management and property sales services in Holywood and Belfast.
Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, the film and TV industry has become a huge contributor to the NI economy, with high-end TV production spending at an almost record high.
Speaking about the surge, Mr McCullough said: “The rental demand for properties to accommodate film and tv cast and crew is through the roof. Northern Ireland has become the place to be for film making with the industry now worth over £300 million.
“We have rented out over 200 properties to Netflix, Paramount and other production companies.
“With a shortage of properties, we are urgently looking for luxury homes in secure and private surroundings for cast, production crews, celebrities and filming directors.
“The number of homes we require is increasing rapidly each week. Crews, cast and directors prefer to stay in homes as opposed to hotels, as privacy is everything and luxurious surroundings so that they feel like they are staying in a home from home.
“We are keen to speak to landlords and homeowners with high end properties in Belfast and the surrounding areas.
“This is an attractive opportunity as the rental premiums are more significant compared to the long-let market.
“With ongoing filmmaking, there is the potential for these rental contracts to become long-term. Popular accommodation locations include Cultra, Holywood, Bangor and Belfast city centre.”
