Darren is a fantastic person to deal with when it comes to property management. He has an in depth knowledge of Lincoln and the surrounding areas, is very friendly and approachable and I would have no hesitation in recommending his services, regardless of the size of property you want to sell.

Rory and Kimberly have great customer service skills and are lovely people to go with it. During a very emotional time they have both looked after me and any concerns I may have had. Nothing was too much for them.🙂 …

Sold my flat with Hawkesford, they went above and beyond offering a variety of services to help generate the sale in a tricky post-covid market for flats. Gemma, Tracy and Rory were always really helpful and very quick responding to any enquiries. Would definitely use them again for any future property sales.

Never have I seen an agent care as much about their clients as Darren does. From his facebook posts to his quick response to messages, Darren obviously takes a lot of pride in his work and helping local people. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Darren to sell your home

I got in touch with Hawkesford to help me find a rental property, they were always very professional and responsive, i was regularly kept up to date with properties that matched my requirements. I would certainly think about using them again in the future. Thank you Nikki and team!

I wish I had heeded the bad reviews about scamming for fees....

Instructed this agent to deal with a work related relocation. They agreed they could help. we reminded them again and again it was a relocation, same employer of 14 years, but new contracts with substantially higher wage. Passed all checks, credit rating good, tenant ref perfect (same rent) except the employment - Wanted to know how we were going to sustain travelling hundreds of miles to work, Didn't think we could afford the rent based on basic salary in a junior position 14 years ago, rather than current. Derogatory comments were made about partner being disabled and working flexible contract previously, and a disabled persons wage could not be counted. Suggestions were should look at cheaper properties within our budget, when we have been paying the same rent and could afford to several times over, for the past 5 years. Truth is we could sustain renting both these properties with ease (not that you would!) It appeared it was getting increasingly aggressive and they seemed determined to find a reason not to pass the checks. It soon became evident that their skills were woefully inadequate to deal with a work related relocation they had promised would be seamless. They withdrew the property offer, stating they felt we could not afford it, based upon their inaccurate findings - and stated that they were keeping our fees, as we had 'Lied' on the application form, which clearing stated the relocation, higher wage not reflected in old contract etc.

I've known Darren many years and our paths have crossed professionally over the last nearly twenty (!) years. He's always given honest, straightforward advice, and I've happily recommended him to friends and family: absolutely my 'go to' agent in Lincoln.

Highly professional and experienced with many years in the industry. Always happy to help and honestly can’t do enough for clients. His overall package is second to none and it is clear to see why he has done so well.

Darren is excellent at what he does and what makes him stand out is the personal approach he brings. We knew he had our back and would bend over backwards to help sell our property, achieving full asking price. Couldn't recommend him enough - outstanding.

As a foreigner in the UK, who didn't understand how estate managemnt and lettings worked in the country, Hawkesford has been amazing. Hawkesford have been my one and only estate agency. I spent 4 years in the same property with them and had absolutely zero issues. They offered great support when I was getting the contract signed and along these 4 years, whenever I needed any kind of support, Pauline has been amazing with quick responses, transparent communication, very clear instructions and always reasonable. They definitely made my life a lot easier in this regard and this is one of the reasons I did not chose to move to different places even when my work place changed. I wish all the best to Pauline and Hawkesford team and can't recommend them enough.

Hawkesford have been an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish, in particular Nikki and Luke. Nikki went out of her way to find us the right property to rent around very specific requirements and couldn't have been more helpful. She went above and beyond and we are delighted with what we have found to let. We have also received exceptional service from Luke who has kept us informed through every development and made the whole process seamless.

My wife and I have been renting a Leamington property via Hawkesford since July. During that time they have never been anything less than exemplary, responding very quickly to any contact and putting requests into action practically immediately; often I've raised an issue with the flat and been contacted by the person sent out to resolve it before I've gotten an acknowledgement from Hawkesford! My huge thanks to Christine and the rest of the team for all their efforts!

Joanne at Hawkesford Southam

Joanne at Hawkesford Southam, Warks looked after us perfectly during our search for a local property. Her tireless efforts, clear communication and attention to detail was just what we needed during a stressful sale & purchase process and we'd recommend and use her on any future property matters. Thanks Joanne...got there in the end!!

I've been really impressed with the way Darren has dealt with our property transaction and his overall quality of service and communication throughout (and I'm rarely impressed these days!). Many thanks and suffice to say if I need any further assistance with sales or letting of our other properties in the future then Darren will be our first port of call. Many thanks once again and best wishes for your future career!

Hawkesford have been a brilliant Estate Agents to be part of. Our Estate Agent, Michelle, was so communicative, very swift to act on recommendations or problems with the property we made, and was a delight to know during our time with Hawkesford. Michelle was brilliant at acting on problems from our end, and getting in touch when builders/repair guys were available to fix up the property. It has been a delight to work with Michelle and the Hawkesford team. Highly recommend them.

I had a very disappointing experience with [Letting Hawkesford Leamington spa]. I inquired about viewing a 2-bedroom apartment as soon as it was listed, but received no response. The following day, when I called to follow up, I was told that all viewing slots were full. Despite explaining that I’m a strong candidate, no pets, no children, non-smoker, with permanent full-time employment, the staff member rudely refused to take my details in case of any cancellations. It was clear that this was simply because I’m not British or European. As someone serious about moving with excellent situation, I expected better communication and respect. Instead, I encountered rude behavior and clear discrimination, which is unacceptable. I strongly advise others to consider other agencies that treat all potential tenants with fairness and professionalism

Rory and his team have been fantastic throughout the whole process. They always kept us informed, and were consistently proactive despite a very difficult chain. I’m not sure our purchase would have happened without their hard work.

Darren takes a personal pride in his job and understands what’s needed to stand out in the market. Personally when it came to selling my property with Darren it was a very quick smooth process. Pre-marketing to get interest, great photos, appointments on the day of listing and offers 12 hours later, even challenging the chancers. Could not be more happy with how it went. Thanks again Darren
