Very positive experience with the Hackney and Leigh team. Jill in particular has been very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We were caught up in the PM Law issue and Jill and her team ( would like to give a shout out to Emily too) have been extremely helpful and supportive throughout the whole process. Would definitely recommend them.

Unprofessional agents stating incorrect legal clauses. Poor communication. I will not be buying an estate or selling with them in the future. I will be contacting sellers directly making offers that exclude this agent.

Unprofessional agents

Unprofessional agents, late to viewings. Office management stating incorrect legal terms. Rude. I will be making offers to sellers exclusively through other agents.

I've used Ferndown for over 10 years to act as letting agent for me. The whole team are fantastic, and dealt with any situation in a very professional manner, despite being a very personal team. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who needed an agent to take away all the hassle of managing a property they rent out.

Great experience with Ferndown Estate Agents. From the first time Adam showed us around the property to the purchasing of the property the support was brilliant. Charlotte was amazing. She was friendly, she kept us informed, explained everything we didn’t understand, she helped us every step of the way. As an older couple and never having moved before we didn’t know what to expect or do, Charlotte was always on the end of the phone to explain what we needed to do and how, absolutely brilliant. I would highly recommend Ferndown. Thank you Charlotte Adam and team.

Very professional service, quickly found a buyer!

I was having trouble selling my house at Scattergate Green, Appleby and decided to change my estate agent in a bid to get things moving. Hackney and Leigh have been very easy to work with so far; they gave an honest and fair assessment of the houses value, were very quick to advertise the house on social media, put up sign posts etc (which the previous agent had not done) and were getting viewers in within a week of putting the place up for sale. Fingers crossed but within a month we have a buyer and a fair price after waiting for months beforehand just to get people through the door! I appreciate Hackney and Leigh's advice and expertise hopefully getting the house sold, especially Gill, Emily and Sarah for their help.

I have recently sold my house in Arnside through Hackney and Leigh and they come very highly recommended. My experience was a 5-star one. All the team were extremely professional and it is clear that Hackney and Leigh know the area very well and are able to advise you accordingly. Information and communications were excellent. All my queries were dealt with very quickly and efficiently and staff are very friendly. They are a very responsive company and, given that the process of selling a house can be very stressful, I couldn't have had a better service. Very many thanks to all the team at Hackney and Leigh Arnside.
