Avoid. Avoid. Avoid!!!

I absolutely would not recommend Farrell Heyworth. I really wish I read these reviews before we used them because then we wouldn't have bothered. They were nice enough when they valued our house and the agent who valued it repeatedly assured us that we would have no problem finding a house within our budget... This was a lie. They promised they would let us know houses before they went live... This was a lie, they only told us about two houses in the whole 9 months we wasted using their 'services' both of which did not remotely match our criteria. They did absolutely NOTHING to help us find a house. They only contacted us twice about unsuitable houses and a couple of times the 'sale progression team' phoned to see how we were doing. Due to the shocking customer service and the fact we were misled by them meaning we haven't found a house we have since withdrawn the house from the market. Definitely don't trust them and would never use them again or recommend them to anyone. I'm also aware that if I get a response to this reveiw it will just be a 'copy and paste' bog standard response that doesn't actually address anything.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Customer service is extremely important to us and any feedback we receive will help us to maintain our high standards of customer care.I’m sorry you felt disappointed by the guidance you were given in February that you would be likely to find a suitable home to buy. This guidance will have been given based on the property market and economy at the time which has seen some changes over the following months. We cannot ever guarantee that a customer selling their house with us will find a suitable property to buy, as this is entirely beyond our control. As selling agents we have a duty to help you to sell your property for the highest possible price and I’m pleased to hear my colleagues were able to achieve an offer you found acceptable in what can be a challenging market.Kind regards,Jeremy Collins, Director

This is the worst letting agent on earth

This is the worst estate agent / letting agent the world has ever seen the I am a tenant, the repeatedly fail to fix problems i have been left without heating or hot water for 4 weeks now over Christmas in temperatures of minus 10 degrees c despite over 50 calls to get them to find a contractor to fix it If i could deal directly with the landlord I would but cant. If I could give them a minus 10 star review to mirror the temperatures i've been left in I would

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. The experience of tenants in all our properties is extremely important to us. After investigating this matter I can see that my colleagues have attempted to resolve the issues with your boiler from the day the faults were reported. My understanding is that they have found the boiler provider slow to provide the parts necessary for them to conclude the repair. This must be extremely frustrating for you but I can assure you that our team have done everything in their control to resolve the problem and will continue to do so.I’m aware that you have spoken with one of my colleagues recently and hope that you are reassured that we are doing everything we can on your behalf.Kind regards,Jeremy Collins, Director

Wow how bad are the reviews

Paul · 22 February 2026

Agent replied · 25 February 2026

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to read that you feel so dissatisfied with your experience. We take comments of this nature seriously, particularly where concerns are raised about communication and service levels. The upfront charge you reference relates to compliance and marketing set-up costs, which are clearly outlined within our terms of business at the point of instruction. Likewise, any deferred marketing or cancellation fees are detailed within the signed agreement and become payable if the contract is terminated early. These are contractual terms rather than discretionary charges. That said, we never want a client to feel unheard or unsupported. If you would be willing to contact your local branch directly, we would welcome the opportunity to review your concerns and discuss matters. Best regards Jeremy Collins Director Farrell Heyworth

Terrible customer service, poor communication!

Terrible customer service and poor communication.We wanted to buy a house for sale in Knott End. We'd gotten to the point of nearly exchanging contracts, when the seller pulled out asking for more money. We got back in touch with the estate agent and told them that we were unable to increase our offer, and to let the seller know why. We then got a text from the seller about how "since she'd had no contact, she'd assume we can't increase our offer". So, not only did FH not get back in touch with us, despite promising us a call, they also didn't even get in touch with the seller. It was only after our mortgage advisor rang multiple times, with the last time refusing to hang up unless he got an answer, that we finally got the answer that "they considered the sale not to be going forward". Which I could've told them. After all that, the house was then back on rightmove, for the exact same price it was originally, at the exact offer we gave. I would give 0 stars if I could. My advice, don't bother selling with FH, don't bother buying with FH. Absolutely terrible, and I will be avoiding buying any house that they are in charge of selling.

Agent replied · 25 February 2026

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re sorry to read that you feel so strongly and appreciate the opportunity to clarify a key point. When maintenance is required at a managed property, the decision on who carries out the work always sits with the landlord. We are very happy to facilitate contractors of a landlord’s choosing, or alternatively we can recommend contractors we have previously worked with if this is preferred. There is no obligation to use any supplier suggested by us. All fees and notice periods relating to management agreements are clearly set out within our terms of business at the outset, and our aim is always to be transparent and compliant in how we operate. We’re pleased to hear your comment regarding our office teams, and we would welcome the opportunity to discuss your concerns in more detail if you wish to contact our lettings team directly.

Took my money for no reason.

They certainly take no time taking your money and removing it from the market and then the house was back on the market again, quicker than I could blink. They coerced me into giving them £80 for anti money laundering checks, even though I was only viewing the house for someone else who was actually buying, otherwise I gad nothing to do with it. It didn't get as far as needing anti money laundering checks (the sellers fault not ours) so therefore I want my money back.

Terrible communication

They sell you the dream when they come and view your property to put it on the market but once you have signed on the dotted line communication is terrible. Delayed response to emails and phone calls. Updates very limited unless I chased them.

Awful company

Awful company, steer well clear!! Repairs required at the property we rent that are potentially hazardous and it’s 3 weeks in and they’re still not done!! When you do actually get through to speak to someone you just get attitudeUpdate - Left the property this year with the repairs still not fixed - Also a gas engineer came out and condemned a gas fire, that we had been using for the past 12 months, the director below says they are committed to customer service...... a year after the review was posted

Useless company

Useless company, completely inept.Enquired about a valuation was told would be done digitally and to complete info to do on line.Started doing this then 10 mins later get a text advising I had a telephone apt the next day to complete over phone.OK so i cancelled all work apts for the next day and booked time off work to accommodate, no one calls!I call and speak to the lancaster branch manager who was rude and basically stated I was confused and that it wasn't arranged as a call. I asked if this hadn't been arranged how I had texts from staff and asked how I would know staff's works mobile numbers if they hadn't texted.As an upshot of not listening to me, deflecting everything I said I advised I would not be using them.Why would I trust a company with something as important as selling a house when they can't even organise a simple call!I asked to be removed from all future communications. Since then I have been continually harassed by text and email. I have called approx 3 times to request, emailed to request, and even spoken to other branches who have advised that they won't contact.Since then I have had lots more emails and texts.I have called to complain and asked for complaints procedure which is to write to the branch manager i have an issue with!No thanks I will take up with ico as a breach.You won't get any business from me ever again.LAUGHABLE RESPONSE FROM YOU BELOW WHICH FURTHER REITERATES THAT YOU ARE CLEARLY USELESS AND COMPLETLY INEPT....REASON: I HAVE NEVER SOLD ANY PROPERTIES THROUGH YOU SO STUPID RESPONSE AND JUST FURTHER PROVES YOU ARE INCOMPETENT.AND THIS IS YOUR RESPONSE FROM A COMPANY DIRECTOR, IT DOESNT BODE WELL IF YOUR IN CHARGE AS CLEARLY YOU ARE COMPLETELY INEPT OR JUST LYING.

I phoned about a property immediately…

I phoned about a property immediately the for sale board went up was told they had no details about property no price details and was asked to call back which I did and was promised a call back to arrange a viewing. Never got a call back. I phoned 4 days later and offered an email virtual tour and would get a call to arrange a viewing. Got video but still not got a call back very very ametuer people employed by this company . Just could not be bothered to call me back. Very unprofessional .Best advice DO NOT put your house up for sale with this company.

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

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!

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.
