Fantastic experience all round, we sold our house and brought our new house through McFarlane. Photos of ours were very professionally done, we had our first viewing less than 24 hours after the house went up for sale and had sold it within a week. They were responsive throughout, chased delays from other parties that were outside of their control, dealt with any issues encountered quickly and professionally and were a pleasure to work with. Would thoroughly recommend. Particular thanks to Dom, Cam and Silvia.

We used McFarlane for buying our lovely house. From the buyer's point of view I can say it was a great experience. The responsiveness and assistance we received was excellent considering all Covid measurements. Cricklade team was absolutely amazing. Special thanks to Tom, for organising everything and keeping us connected with the sellers throughout the whole process. Also a very big thank you to Tim and Sylvia for all your support and flexibility to make the whole process as smooth as possible. Hope to work with you in the future.

Do not waste your time with this unprofessional agency. They do not reply to emails enquiring about lettings. They lie, fob you off over the phone, and say you are on a waiting list but never get back to you. Obviously, they partake in favouritism towards potential tenants. Would not recommend in any way whatsoever!

The Mcfarlane team have shown professionalism since I purchased a property from them in 2017. Always on the ball in every matter regarding my property being let. A credit to Shaun and colleagues thank you very much. Ray Atkinson

Professionals are professionals... This is my first thought and the opinion I created by meeting Anita in our viewings with the agency. Excellent response, skilled presenter, knowledgeable of the market, human approach. Thank you for your assistance...

Would prefer to give zero stars - Possibly one of the worst estate agents I have ever dealt with, moved into a property and part way into the tenancy found out there were massive issues with damp. Told the member of staff that managed our property and was surprised to find out the already knew and had basically never got it sorted the first time round when the previous tenants had raised it. Also allowed access to our home without prior notification which goes against any tenancy contract. All in all I would leave these agents well alone, they do not care about their tenants as long as they are getting their money and don't fix any serious issues no matter how much you raise it!

Macfarlanes have been our managing agents now for a number of years and Carla who looks after our properties is always helpful & on the ball. She is very quick to react to any queries and or problems that may arise. The turnover in our tenants is quite low due to the care she takes in obtaining the correct type of tenant and the safeguards put in place when a property becomes available.

Sam and Tom, as well as all others in the Macfarlane Swindon office, have been so wonderful throughout this whole process. We were unable to find a house the first time yet Sam suggested another property that we loved! They swiftly suggested a viewing and I felt supported by them. Highly suggest this agency if one is looking to let!

We rented a property in Swindon whilst living in France. Both Sam & Anita (Lettings) "held our hands" every step of the way through the minefield that is renting in the UK. They were very professional & really friendly throughout the whole process that was started & concluded in a most satisfactory manner & all done over the phone. We would have no hesitation in recommending McFarlane to anyone

I have a large portfolio of properties that have been fully managed by McFarlane for many years. It takes all the stress away from me when things go wrong because they have a team of trusted tradesmen that can resolve all the issues you get. All of the tenants i have are excellent and always pay on time. Carla in the office is excellent,

Excellent service and communications from McFarlanes, including from Shaun (Director). Carla is my main contact and has been for the past 8 years since I purchased my first property in Swindon to let. Carla and the team manages all my properties and issues with tenants have been resolved in a professional and efficient manner. I am always kept up-to-date and they ensure they look after your interests. I would not hesitate to recommend McFarlanes to other landlords.

I'm currently renting a property from McFarlane and I would highly recommend them as letting agents. From the moment I viewed one of their properties to picking up the keys from my property manager Carla I can honestly say I have had a great experience. Carla has been brilliant answering any questions I have had and making sure that maintenance issues have been fixed promptly. If your looking to rent out or sell your property I would 100% recommend speaking to Carla.

Carla been our contact for running our HMO for over 4 yrs. Always professional, friendly, helpful, responsive and communicates well. Great liaising between tenant, contractors and landlord. Tom and Joe are very good on the letting side. They recently found a tenant and commenced referencing for another property within 1 week of initial advertisement. Very pleased with McFarlane. Happily recommend them to other Landlords.

From the first meeting with Tim Stanley, who did our valuation, to all the subsequent discussions, they have been fantastic. Tim, Tom and Silvia have been particularly supportive and very, very professional. I would recommend them to anyone, they stay in touch and are willing to always go the extra mile.
