Very unprofessional

Very unprofessional. The company has a viewing policy that you need to prove your mortgage in principle and fund proof in order to arrange a viewing. After I got everything sorted and sent, they told me that the property was already gone when I first called. At this stage, they even wanted to sell me their mortgage advisory service after reading my mortgage document. There is no policy about data protection. No idea why any landlord would like to work with 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

Please avoid this company!

Please avoid this company - local office I used was run by kids! So many mistakes were made with my house being for sale, I couldn't get away from them quick enough. They promise the earth but in reality they haven't got a clue what they are doing. Changed to another agent and can not believe the difference. Save your money and energy and go with someone else!

Insisted i must sell my home before viewing a property. I live where homes sell in 2-3 weeks. I have to know there is somewhere to buy before selling. Idiocy and incompetence at its highest.

Alexander · 8 May 2026

Agent replied · 2 June 2026

We’re sorry to hear that you feel disappointed with your experience and appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns. As estate agents, we act on behalf of our vendors and are required to follow their instructions carefully. To protect their position and avoid unnecessary disruption, we ask applicants to demonstrate that they are in a position to proceed before viewing our vendors’ properties. This approach is designed to ensure that viewings are meaningful and that sellers can have confidence in the level of interest being shown in their home. We understand that this can feel frustrating, particularly where properties sell quickly, and we appreciate that different buyers will have different perspectives on the process. However, our priority is always to act in the best interests of our clients and to support smoother transactions for everyone involved. We’re unable to comment on individual circumstances publicly, but concerns are always best discussed directly with the branch involved so they can be addressed appropriately. Best regards Jeremy Collins Director Farrell Heyworth

Shocking sales tactics

Told by Farrell Heyworth that the couple who had put in an offer to buy our daughters’ house had sold theirs, and had nothing to sell. This was confirmed in the memorandum of sale.

Jonathan · 12 May 2026

Agent replied · 2 June 2026

We’re sorry to hear that you feel dissatisfied with the experience and the length of time the transaction has taken. We recognise how frustrating this must be. We would very much like to look into the concerns you’ve raised in more detail. However, as we’re unable to identify the transaction or the parties involved from the information provided, it isn’t possible for us to investigate this further or review the circumstances in the appropriate context. As estate agents, we act on the information available to us at each stage and in line with our client’s instructions, and buyer circumstances can change as a transaction progresses. We’re unable to comment on individual situations or specific communications in a public forum. We understand how delays and uncertainty can impact a sale, and concerns of this nature are best addressed directly where they can be properly reviewed. Best regards Jeremy Collins Director Farrell Heyworth

Disappointed

Initial viewing of the house was quick and very helpful. Nathan was brill! However, was meant to move in earlier this week and was then told on move in day, further documents needed to be sent over. Why was this done on the day we were supposed to move in? Move in date was pushed forward two days and then got told we would have to wait even longer. Rang three times in one day was told I would get a call back, this never happened. So I have now missed nearly a week at work and haven’t been able to do anything. Thanks a lot!

Agent replied · 12 June 2024

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. I'm sorry to hear that despite a fantastic start from Nathan and the team at the time of writing this review you still not moved in to your new property. We investigated this matter at the time and provided a full reply. I understand this must have been extremely frustrating for you, as it is for us.

Poor agency

Signed contract in June thinking they would sell my parents house in a sought after area we had 1 viewing, I was not told there are 3 packages for the sale in October I decided to remove them however I was told I had to pay £199 plus vat, I have also been told perspective buyers for a property with the same agency were told it would be 3 weeks before they could. I will never recommend this agency under any circumstance I sent a letter to Jeremy Collins director never had a reply DO NOT USE THIS AGENCY

Agent replied · 24 October 2024

Thank you for your feedback. We would like to clarify that, as outlined in the contract signed in June, our services include a deferred marketing fee, which becomes payable upon completion of the sale or if the property is withdrawn from the market. This is clearly detailed in the agreement.We’re sorry to hear that you’re disappointed with your experience.

I asked FH to take over my properties…

I asked FH to take over my properties which I let out through another agent. The person dealing with me was very enthusiastic at first and could not do enough. I have today received an email from my previous agent asking where to send the tenant deposits and I have no answer.FH have ignored my emails asking what is holding the process up, no replies to even confirm that they have received my queries. I have tried several times and each time over 2 months, nothing has been transferred. I signed esignatures for the transfer, but they have gone AWOL. They do not exist and I think they must have a high turnover of staff. You guys need to work quickly for small landlords like me. Get in touch. I have given you 1 star for service.FH have been in touch and have contacted me and the previous agents to move my tenants over to them. I am pleased that this is now resolved and things are moving in the right direction. Just be responsive to small landlords, thanks.

Very stressful experience...

My house was on the market with FH for almost 5 months with 7 viewings. I dropped the price twice but no offers. Barely any communication from them, very little helpful feedback was given and a VERY poor write up of my lovely home - two other houses being sold by FH on the same street have an almost identical and extremely basic description - hardly inspiring to any potential buyer. I queried this and was told that I would have to tell them what to write! Not good enough for the most expensive estate agents in Barrow in my opinion. I'm going to try my luck with another agency, but it's £238 to get out of the contract (for digital marketing fees)... after being explicitly told at the valuation appointment that it was 'no sale no fee'. Very sneaky.

Utterly appalling company.

Utterly appalling company.Farrell Heyworth sent a section 21 eviction notice out of the blue on a Friday afternoon to my elderly and very unwell parents (one of whom has cancer) giving them 8 weeks' notice to leave a home they have lived in for 14 years, leaving them absolutely distraught.I called the office and spoke to 'Cerys' (who refused to give her surname) who defended this behaviour towards vulnerable customers as being merely their standard procedure and proceeded to send me a complaints form. No interest was shown whatsoever for the impact and potential consequences of their actions on longstanding and vulnerable tenants.Completely disgusting lack of care or concern to send an eviction notice completely out of the blue to elderly people, without a courtesy call or visit (bearing in mind that FH have managed to visit the property every quarter for the last 14 years to inspect it, and are fully aware of the state of the occupants). As of 24 hours after making the complaint, no sign of any complaints form, not that it will change a company that has no vulnerable customer policy or interest in the people who live in their properties.

Catherine · 11 June 2024

Agent replied · 12 June 2024

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand the distress this situation has caused and would like to provide some clarification.Our professional team at Farrell Heyworth operates strictly within legal guidelines and landlord instructions. In this case, we were instructed by the landlord to serve a Section 21 notice, which legally requires a minimum of two months' notice. This procedure was followed in accordance with the Housing Act to ensure compliance with the law.While we understand the length of tenancy and the challenging circumstances of your parents, our actions are in line with our legal requirements and obligations to our client. We strive to handle all matters with professionalism and sensitivity. We regret that you feel our actions have shown a lack of care, but we assure you that we are adhering to legal requirements and landlord directives.I understand you have recently received further correspondence from Cerys with further guidance on the next steps for your parents and securing further accommodation.Best regards,Jeremy CollinsDirectorFarrell Heyworth
