GoogleWe recently used Harrington Brown and had a really positive experience from start to finish. The whole process was handled professionally, efficiently, and with great communication throughout.
A special mention goes to Aidan, who we dealt with directly. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and always happy to help with any questions we had. Aidan kept us updated every step of the way and made what can often be a stressful process feel much smoother and more manageable.
We really appreciated his honesty, responsiveness, and excellent customer service. We would definitely recommend this estate agent to anyone looking to buy, sell, or rent a property.

GoogleHarrington Brown was excellent through the whole process from start to finish. Aidan is an asset to Harrington Brown and is really professional and he has been a pleasure to work with to get the sale of our Grandmas Cottage. The card and flowers were a lovely thoughtful gesture on completion day of the sale and we will certainly recommend them in the future

GoogleOur family have been really pleased with the service from Harrington Brown. We found without exception that all team members have been highly professional, both when it came to selling our property and viewings of other properties we were looking to purchase prior to (and following) listing with them.
The chain we were involved in was managed really effectively by the team, communication was generally excellent and although i didn't meet everyone in person, the service always felt personal.
Thanks for helping us find an ideal family home and i want to give a big shout out to Aidan and James in particular for fielding many things for us over the course of our move.
Thanks again and best wishes for the future team HB!

GoogleWhen our dream house came on the market, Jennifer and the team at Harrington Brown swiftly moved into action to market our own home. Their knowledge of the area, network of potential buyers and expertise meant we quickly got an offer. Fast forward through the conveyancing process and they worked with all parties to ensure a smooth and timely journey, everyone was invested in helping us with what felt like a personalised service and when we hit bumps in the road they were straight on it, helping us out! Highly recommend the professionalism, commitment and personality of each member of the team. If we could give more than 5 stars we would! Thank you #Harringto Brown

GoogleWe recently bought and sold with Harrington Brown and couldn’t be happier with the service. From start to finish, they were trustworthy, professional, and incredibly reassuring during what can be a very stressful time. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they always made time for our questions and concerns.
A massive thank you to both Aidan and James, they were always at the end of the phone when we needed them. Their knowledge of the local market and industry is second to none, and they really helped keep us calm and confident throughout the whole process.
And a big shoutout to Jennifer, the owner, who runs a fantastic business with a real personalised touch. It’s clear she cares deeply about her clients and her team.
Thanks to them, we’re now in our dream home. We honestly couldn’t recommend them more, if you’re buying or selling, you’ll be well looked after.

★★★★★ 1/5
GoogleThis has been, by far, the worst experience I have ever had with any estate agent or property management company in my life.
From the start, they were constantly calling me nonstop trying to carry out random checks on the house while I was living there and paying rent. It felt intrusive, excessive, and completely unnecessary.
The situation became even worse while I was on holiday. They called me to complain that my belongings were still in the property despite the fact that I was a paying tenant and still actively living there. Completely ridiculous.
Then I lost the front door key and asked to have a replacement cut. They refused to let me simply cut a new key myself and instead made me wait from Saturday until Monday. During that time, I was locked out and had to sleep on a friend’s sofa for two nights.
When Monday finally came, just before they closed, they handed me a replacement key and charged me £114 for a single key that likely cost around £5 to cut. When questioned, they smirked and said the rest was “for their time.”
To make matters even worse, when I returned home, the key did not even work. It would not go into the front door lock at all. After already being locked out for days, I tried calling them immediately, but their office was shut and they ignored emails.
Utterly incompetent, unprofessional, and unbelievably disrespectful treatment of tenants. I have never experienced service this poor in my life. I would strongly advise others to think very carefully before dealing with Harrington Brown.
Dan · 16 May 2026
Agent replied · 7 May 2026
Thank you for your comments Dan. Unfortunately we do not manage the property you rented via us. As per your tenancy agreement you were given full contact details of your landlord who self manages the property.
We were contacted last month by the landlord (after HE inspected the property) and he advised that notice would be served notice due to the condition you had kept the property and that you were in breach of tenancy by taking on a pet without his permission.
We have never carried out an inspection as we do not manage the property.
The communication has been between you and the landlord since your tenancy began. We have only contacted you in recent weeks to gain access as per the landlords request as your tenancy had come to an end.
With regards to keys, you sent an email to our office out of hours on Saturday 25th April to request you collected keys the following morning (Sunday 26th April) also outwith our office hours. This email was not picked up until Monday morning. Had you contacted your landlord over the weekend he may have been able to arrange a spare key for you.
Our team responded straight away this morning and advised they could not give you the master key which we held as this was the only key left (since you have misplaced 2 sets already). YOU arranged to come to the office at 4pm today.
On this occasion we were instructed by the Landlord for a Tent Find Only service, which you are fully aware of. Your frustrations and breakdown in communication is with the LANDLORD but Thank You for feeling the need to try and publicly shame our Agency.

★★★★★ 1/5
GoogleI had a very disappointing experience with this agency. My sales appointment was cancelled at the last minute, just two hours before the scheduled meeting, after I had already driven over an hour to prepare the property. The reason given was based on an incorrect accusation about fees from years ago. In reality, the agent had already taken her fees directly from the tenant’s rent/deposit during my first tenancy. When the property was relisted months later and I sourced my own tenant after the agency struggled to find one, she still demanded additional fees, and it appears she has held this against us ever since.
Cancelling a pre-arranged sales appointment over something so petty and unrelated to the current sale is extremely unprofessional. I would recommend choosing a more reliable and respectful local agent instead, such as JWW or Sylvester, who actually understand the market and treat clients properly.
George · 16 December 2025
Agent replied · 16 January 2026
Thank you, George, for your public feedback. I think we both know there is more context behind this situation.
As an independent agency, we have the freedom to choose who we work with, and we only move forward with clients who respect our team and our values. Our decision wasn’t “petty”, it was simply us taking pride in what we do and refusing to compromise on standards.
I also notice you’ve used your review to advertise two other agents. Interestingly, you chose not to market with either of them, opting instead to try and sell the property yourself for nearly a year, and now have chosen to proceed with a nationwide firm. That choice speaks for itself.
Nevertheless, we wish you the best of luck with your sale.
Where the same review appears twice we show it once. We leave out reviews that name another agent or another of the brand's offices.
