GoogleSold 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.

TrustpilotI 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.

GoogleAs 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.

GoogleHawkesford 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.

GoogleMy 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!

GoogleHawkesford 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.

GoogleI 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 Iβm 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 Iβm 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

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
