Excellent professional service
As a local landlord we were very pleased to find McFarlane enthusiastic about the area and the property, with good knowledge of both. Interactions were prompt and efficient; we particularly appreciated the emailed notifications of viewings and the corresponding feedback. The tenants that Anita found for us are charming and I know are as pleased with the service from McFarlane as we are.

Blue chip company with the personal touch.
This is my third engagement with McFarlanes (Cricklade Office) having used them previously to both rent out and sell my former home, and I have to commend them yet again for handling my current sale so well too. They have consistently exceeded my expectations by efficiently (and sympathetically) dealing with all of my problems during a messy conveyance - by providing me with assistance and advice beyond their remit 'out of hours' and late into the evening from their own homes. How good is that? Once again I have to shower Silvia with so much credit and thank her personally for her inexhaustible support and kindness. If I were a CEO, I'd head-hunt her lol. So, a big thank you to this wonderful company, and to the MD, Shaun - who is a total gentleman, for creating such a well oiled team. You can safely put your trust and confidence in the hands of this agent.

Excellent buyer support from the Swindon team
Just completed on a lovely property and I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Silvia and Julian for their support working with a very challenging vendor. They went above and beyond to help smooth the many bumps in the road caused by the vendor and their conveyancor (the cheapest and worst I have seen). Wouldn't have completed if it weren't for their professionalism and dedication. Always a pleasure to deal with, responsive and keen to drive on to the next stage with consideration and understanding. Its when the going gets tough that the agent's team make the difference and get a sale through to completion. If I were selling I wouldn't hesitate to use this team and highly recommend them.

Fantastic Service
Julian and Silva handled the sale of my property with the upmost professionalism. Feedback following viewings was prompt and detailed. Silvia managed the post sale process impeccably including communicating with all parties in the chain and updating me in her own time to ensure that I had the latest details.
5/5
Superb help in buying
Not just the normal stuff, but Silvia tracked down surveyors, tree surgeons and established contact with the Council about what could and what could be done about Council and Highways land adjacent to the property, specifically regarding the height of nearby trees. Extremely helpful. Not to mention the card and the gift when I collected the keys.

McFarlane’s deliver with efficiency and reliability
Julian and his team, especially Silvia, have been amazing in helping us to sell our property and buy another on their books. They have been professional, extremely helpful and nothing has been too much trouble for them when we’ve needed advice and answers. Our move went smoothly and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend McFarlanes to anyone who is looking for a reputable agent.
5/5
Just the best!
The staff of McFarlane Sales and Lettings could not have been more kind, considerate, hardworking and supportive in helping us through some challenging negotiations earlier this year. We were kept informed of progress throughout the purchasing process and would not hesitate to use them again or to recommend to others.
5/5
Warm and Professional.
This lady was an absolute delight and a pleasure to deal with. She was so proactive and helpful - we can’t begin to express our thanks to her for her commitment towards us and our sale. She consistently went above and beyond at every stage of our sale and is to be commended. You will find her so very agreeable and just an all round nice person who will manage your sale or purchase with total efficiency, keeping you informed throughout the whole transaction with her thoughtful, superb communication skills.

Sarah Cole, Property Manager. Care and tenacity when dealing with a tenant's maintenance issues.
Since Sarah joined the McFarlane team her response to any maintenance issues I have had, at the property I rent , have been handled professionally and with tenacity. I am very appreciative of the fact that she has always kept me informed throughout the process and also follows up on matters that may involve the building's Maintenance company. June C

Worth Six (6) stars.
We recently sold our property through this agent and the sale was handled by their Cricklade office. We had used their Old Town office previously to rent out our house and their management services proved to be completely reliable and stress free - with no issues what so ever; so we had no hesitation about using them again when we decided to sell. They were proactive throughout and reacted to any points or questions we had, without delay. Their communication throughout was excellent and they kept on top of all the other parties involved without any need for me to chase them along. We were offered every assistance along the way and they even scanned and emailed documents on our behalf when our own resources were packed away. Their team worked well together and went way beyond the level of support and assistance we expected. They really could not have been more accommodating and helpful, and we cannot begin to rate then highly enough. Please use them with total confidence and let them take over the stress and hassle out of buying, selling and renting.

First class professionals that go above and beyond
A fabulous team of professionals who supported us through two chain collapses and eventual sale (third time lucky). The team remained positive, professional and supportive through some very challenging times. Though a special mention needs to go to Silivia for her positive, friendly, proactive and professional manner. She kept us informed every step of the way, nothing was too much trouble and she went ‘above and beyond’ to help us. Thank you McFarlanes

Great Service From All The Team
I found McFarlane to be helpful and informative. They were very pro-active in selling the property in a timely manner. Their knowledge of the local area and market proved invaluable.
5/5
Outstanding Attention to Detail and Tenacity
The McFarlane Team dealt with my house sale from beginning to end with unfailing politeness and tenacity. They were particularly effective in keeping me abreast of progress throughout, and 'caught the ball' when other agents in the chain had been less vigilant and dynamic. As such, the sale culminated on time....and without drama or stress.
5/5
Wonderful Team!
All of the team deliver the best customer service and in the most professional manner. Nothing was ever too much trouble and they were able to resolve any issues quickly or even just be there to discuss any concerns we had. Julian, Dom and Silvia thank you for everything!!

Excellent service from the very beginning
Sylvia was very helpful , informative and always able to assist any of our queries. I found her to be very proffessional whenever I spoke to her. I would highly recommend McFarlane Estate Agent to any one who was looking at selling or buying.

5/5
Thorough and Patient
Whole team were professional, considerate and patient. We chose McFarlane to sell our house through as we had seen a property we wanted to buy through then. Unfortunately we had to pull out of our purchase and find an alternative after a survey highlighted structural concerns. They were also understanding and patient. We managed to proceed with our sale and keep to original time frame.
5/5
McFarlanes looked after us really well as tenants for almost 3 years in our rental property.
During this time, they were efficient at dealing with any maintenance jobs that needed attention. They were flexible with regards to fitting around our timings re the quarterly proper type inspection and they were always respectful that they were in our 'home'. Thank you, McFarlanes, for all your support.

Wonderful service - couldn't be done better
We were delighted with the service we received from McFarlane when we sold our flat. From the first moment they took on the business we felt we were in professional hands who knew what they were doing at every stage. Dominic came to view the apartment in the first instant and was enthusiastic and agreed an asking price.. He managed to get two viewings within two days and two offers arising from those viewings. We accepted one and were then in the very capable hands of the sales progressor, Silvia. She didn't sit back and hope things would happen but was working on our behalf the entire time from acceptance of the offer to completion. She was even in touch on her days off to ensure that the sale was going forward. Her support, and the support of all the staff, helped us through the worrying time of selling the apartment, Thank you to all the staff. Recommended without reservation.

Fantastic Service
Fantastic service, professional and friendly from Julian, Dominic and Silvia at McFarlane. We sold our property and bought our new home through McFarlane. The process was quick, efficient and easy. From a consumer point-of-view, it's about as good as Customer Service as you can receive. We were kept informed of progress of the sale and purchase, with detailed information provided at each key stage, including 3rd party communication (vendor, buyer, solicitor etc). We are so pleased with our new home and cannot thank the team at McFarlane enough. I will recommend them to all my friends and family.
