TrustpilotAvoid at all costs
Appalling is the only way to rate this estate agent, zero marketing, zero feedback and zero customer care for some unknown reason they won't reply to my review they just keep having them removed, let's see how long this one lasts as the 3 previous they've had them removed.

I am a first time buyer who viewed a number of properties listed with Farrell Heyworth Morecambe and Lancaster. I must say, out of all the estate agents I dealt with they have been the most proactive and responsive. They went out of their way to find me suitable properties and were very accommodating and helpful every step of the way, even printing out full colour brochures for us to take away. Kim from the Morecambe office particularly stood out and is a real asset to the brand.

TrustpilotAvoid. 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Due to the shocking customer service and the fact we were misled by them meaning we haven't found a house we have since withdrawn the house from the market.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

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

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.

TrustpilotDO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!
1 star is even being generous. I don’t even know where to begin with this estate agent! We had our offer accepted 9 months ago and between the vendor messing us about and the estate agents being incompetent, it has all fallen through! Gemma from the Morecambe branch who was dealing with our purchase, was rude and so unhelpful! Every-time we phoned for an update, she was never in the office; she never returned phonecalls and when we did finally get in touch she didn’t have a clue what was going on or where the sale was up too!John the manager also from the Morecambe branch, he too was most unhelpful and as a manager I would like to think he would have more of an understanding of what was going on. We done all the work for them to try and get somewhere with the sale ie:Chasing solicitors and chasing the estate agent of our vendor; who in the end communicated with us directly as opposed to Farrell and Heyworth, as they never provided us with accurate and up to date information on the sale. If you are from the Morecambe/Heysham area do not even waste your time with the property listed on Saxon heights, as it has been listed for sale several times and has never completed. The only estate agents that will list the property are these clowns! This is the house that has held us up and has all fallen through for the second time! And just to top this, they relisted the property back on the market without officially confirming the sale had collapsed!! 😡As a result, we have lost our buyers and both our mortgage offers have expired, as we are now 1 year down the line for it all to collapse.

TrustpilotTerrible 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.

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.

TrustpilotTook 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.

TrustpilotRecently
Recently, in the space of a week and a half, I was told by others in Lancaster of what amounted to complaints by six more people about Farrell Heyworth's poor service and unprofessional work.This entirely backs up my experiences with this company over a 7-year period when they were acting as my letting agent. I became so exasperated with FH that I dumped them eventually.Following my TrustPilot review after those experiences, I received a self-justifying response on this portal from a director, Jeremy Collins, who basically will not take responsibility or ownership for his company's poor performance. This company is putting profits and properties above people in it's order of priorities, forgetting that it is people that it is serving and who pay it's salaries. If FH continues to bury its head in the sand, one day it may find itself out of business, at least in Lancaster. Beware of this company potential buyers / sellers / landlords!
