I wanted to view a property and I was on Farrell and Hayworth list with all my details ie my house is sold my address etc but they wanted proof of funds before I can view, meaning they want my bank details . Does this not constitute data protection ? I only wanted to view a property and if I wanted it then proof of funds will be given.This is I am sure not legal but they say it is their policy.So do not be surprised if your bank account is used as you have given all your details to a employee of that company.Do not use them.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm sorry to hear you were somewhat disappointed in the experience. Customer service is extremely important to us and we always strive to operate with the safety of our customers at heart. I think it's valuable to outline what our procedures with regard to viewings are, and why we are continuing with these procedures when many agents seem to have returned to pre-Covid operating practices.Our process is as follows:All initial enquiries to view are provided with a virtual video tour which is received within minutes of the request.The virtual viewing is followed up and feedback obtained, this is extremely valuable to the owner of the property.If somebody wishes to then book a physical viewing we will ascertain if they are ready to proceed. A Mortgage agreement or financial qualification is then required to put the buyer in the best possible position to offer, along with acting solicitor details. The viewing can then be arranged. Unfortunately, we still receive many requests to view properties from individuals who have no intention of buying said property. To keep our staff and customers safe we have chosen to continue with a process that will allow us to limit the amount of people that physically view to just genuine buyers.If the person viewing the property wishes to make an offer we would require a proof of funds at this stage in any event.Kind regards,Jeremy Collins, Director

TrustpilotA disorganised and untrustworthy company?
I booked online to view a property in Hest bank Lancaster for next Saturday at 1000hrs.I had no confirmation email for several daysI followed up online and an agent rang me back.They said an email and phone call had been sent/made to me. This is not true, I have not received either! They said I would have to provide detailed financial information before they allowed any viewing!How can a reputable company act like this I would advise anyone to think carefully before dealing with this company The representative who spoke to me lied!Their online systems do not work!One doesn’t expect honesty from Estate Agents about property etc but there should be some with viewing arrangements!Why would I release my financial information to a company with this level of integrity?

TrustpilotGiven a bad reference to new landlord…
Given a bad reference to new landlord for complaining about various issues including sleeping on a mattress on the floor for two months and a boiler leaking gas, they also tried to charge illegal fees. Do not use these agents, they are cruel thugs. I have been in tears. I have supported many clients as a housing adviser and I have never seen a worse tenancy than the one I have had. They lied and denied, and made several false accusations. How they have treated me and other tenants I know is disgraceful and it has all been taken to their ombudsman now. The will never fall on their sword, stubborn, arrogant and cruel!

TrustpilotTerrible customer service....look elsewhere in the Furness area!
It is a shame that a negative star award is not available. Disgusting property management for rentals from their Lancaster offices; this is a shame for the Barrow in Furness branch who go above and beyond, whilst the Lancaster service drags them into the ground. They do not protect or care for their clients, regardless of safety issues, or whether you are a Landlord or Tenant. The nepotism within the company between employees and contractors is beyond belief. Stay well clear if you want a happy, fair and competent management of your tenancy. I have seen evidence there are much better rental agencies within the Furness area.

TrustpilotI have been trying to get a viewing of…
I have been trying to get a viewing of a property we are interested in for over a week. We received the shoddy video - pretty useless to get a proper impression. We were asked and confirmed we had an offer on our property - Farrell's effectively suggested I was lying and said they would contact our agents for confirmation. The next day another person from the office rang to ask what we thought of the video - said we had seen and requested a viewing ..."we can only do that if yours is sold but I'll get back to you" Heard nothing. An earlier directors response to someone else complaining was "there are lots of people out there with no intention of buying" - well just maybe you have to take the rough with the smooth and that way you might sell on behalf of your clients - appalling approach and appalling service.

GoogleI’m very pleased with the experience I had buying a property through Farrell Heyworth.
It did take longer than planned, however, that had nothing to do with Farrell Heyworth. Having said that, I managed to get the keys to my new house two days before my birthday and I’m sure that they ensured that I did.
Overall, I feel like they have a great team. They were polite as well as patient enough to explain every aspect of the transaction and also make time to give us extra viewings of the same property.
I would definitely recommend them.
Thanks again to everyone at Farrell Heyworth.

Avoid! Complete shambles this place. Viewed two properties with them this weekend (one of them twice!). Expressed an interest in one said I needed to go away and work out how much I could offer. Then called back in the afternoon to make the offer and they'd sold it to someone else!!!! Shocking communication. Spent the entire day working out what I could afford - they didn't even bother to update me. Total waste of 3 days.

TrustpilotCompany speak
I received a reply from a Jeremy Collins to my review of Farrell Heyworth, Lancaster branch, which, frankly, just makes me angry.The wording of it is typical company speak, seeming to answer my complaint in a conciliatory and helpful way, but in reality, subtly dismissing my complaint and justifying them carrying on exactly as they have been doing, with no real intention on changing their ways. He plays up the good points I commented upon in order to negate the negative points, and to appear to the outside world as a 'good' company in which people will have confidence in.Sorry, but this expected type of reply doesn't impress me and actually makes me think of FH even less favourably now. I won't be coming back to FH.
