I recently had a property viewing with Anita Cowley and it was a fantastic experience. Anita was extremely knowledgeable about the property and the local area, providing detailed and insightful information. She was friendly, approachable, and patient, allowing me to take my time during the viewing and answering all my questions thoroughly. 5β˜†

McFarlane Estate Agents are QUALITY

McFarlane Estate Agents are QUALITY, they are the best Estate Agent I've ever dealt with, Jacqueline Marchant-Currie especially. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable, efficient and supportive, nothing is too much trouble. Jacqueline provided significant support to me during an extremely long, stressful, complicated situation with a tenant. When I requested something she sent it to me almost instantly and she accompanied me whenever I asked her. Her commitment to clients is always above and beyond. The whole team are professional, efficient and friendly. As soon as you walk in the door you are greeted with a smile and very much a "can do" attitude. Communication is key and they keep you in the loop throughout the process - I absolutely cannot fault them.

Me and my partner would like to say a huge thank you to this fantastic estate agents, in particular Tianah Poynter who has been super helpful and supportive towards finding our new home to rent. After a terrible experience with another agent Tianah was a breath of fresh air, nothing was too much bother and she has always been willing to help. We both can’t thank you enough for finally being able to secure us our new home.

Although the purchase of our desired property fell through, Anita was amazing. Anita was down to earth, incredibly friendly and always kept us in the loop. Anita felt genuine when most agent we encountered did not. 5* due to amazing service provided.

The team at McFarlane have been fantastic in supporting us on our house hunt. I recently sold my property and wished I had used this estate agent! The customer care, follow up call and support has been exceptional. The estate agent was professional during the viewing, informative and clearly knew their facts about the property. I won’t hesitate to use them for future house sales.

Brilliant service provided by Imogen Crossman & Christina Hughes. We dealt with a few estate agents during the process of searching for our first home and Imogen & Christina made McFarlane the best estate agents we had dealt with. We purchased our first house with them. Very friendly & professional. Many thanks! Gemini & Chris (Upavon, Pewsey)

Anita is absolutely fantastic! My mother, partner and I are extremely thankful for all of her hard work, she went above and beyond to get us a lovely flat in the area. She knew we were travelling up from London and made us feel very welcomed. She also ensured we made the most of the time we were visiting by showing us many properties in a short space of time. We also found it so helpful when she shared her first hand knowledge of the area - a very efficient, thoughtful and personal service. Throughout each stage of the process we had no doubt Anita had our best interests in mind. Joel was also very helpful setting up the appointments too thank you! In the future we definitely will be using Mcfarlane services again - 5 stars all round thank you again :)PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Absolutely brilliant service. We have recently sold our house through McFarlane, who were fantastic through the whole process. Firstly, Laura took some beautiful photos of our property. Once on the market, viewings were hosted by Tianah who I cannot speak highly enough about. She took the time to get a real feel for the place herself, and spoke to us for an insight to the local area, surroundings, and those small touches that make all the difference. She turned up early for each viewing, and made the process an absolute pleasure, and kept us fully updated with feedback and progression. Great stuff.

Awful awful awful renting experience, avoid at all costs! First of all, the moving in and referencing process was an absolute nightmare. Then when we moved in to the property the fridge wasn't working, there was no hot water coming out of the shower, the extraction fan was broken and still really greasy, holes in the floorboards, tiles missing, door handles hanging off, none of the lightbulbs worked, oven was filthy, and belongings from previous tenants still left in the draws. Although they are adamant it had been 'professionally cleaned'. They forced me to sign the inventory before they had even given me the keys. I was told I had 7 days to let them know if anything didn't match the inventory, which I did. However upon moving out, I found out that the issues I raised hadn't been recorded and therefore a substantial sum has been taken out of our deposit. So I have had no choice but to pay for their administrative errors, despite us leaving the house in a much better state than it was in when we moved in. When we speak to them on the phone, they tend to be agreeable with our issues (where there is no paper trail), but then their actions don't align. During our tenancy, we received an email to say they are putting the rent up by Β£100 per month "in line with market value" as per their lettings manager's recommendation, despite it already being the most expensive property of this type in the area. We asked for an explanation and justification for this, but were never given one. It is our opinion that they wanted us to move out, so that they could profit from charging the landlord all the tenancy fees to get some new tenants in there. When we moved out and they had to provide references to our new lettings company, they missed out a lot of context in the information they provided, which caused lots of issues for us. This is depsite us checking with them what information would be passed over and them assuring us that it would all be fine - again it was all over the phone, so no paper trail which is convenient for them! If you are renting with them, I would urge you to get written confirmation of everything. Do not trust any conversation you have with them that isn't recorded. I have spoke to other people who have had similar experiences with McFarlane as well. They do not have the tenants best interest in mind whatsoever, only their own.

Hannah, Thank you for taking the time to write a review although I am surprised by the content. We do take feedback very seriously and use this to improve our services to all of our clients. However, I do think that the points you have raised do require further examination and comment. You mention that when you applied for the property the referencing process was an absolute nightmare. The referencing is undertaken by a third party independent referencing company, not McFarlane. The vast majority of tenants do not have any issues with the process, however, if you cannot supply all of the requested documentation or there is a negative issue with one or more of your references this can delay the process. You were asked to sign as having received the inventory prior to moving in to the property. You were also advised that you had 7 days to make any observations in relation to the property and annotate these on the inventory. After 7 days the inventory is closed and locked. You did not make any amendments to the inventory at all. You did email us almost a week after moving in to the property to advise of some issues you had with the property and requested that we investigate and resolve these. To give this some context, you contacted us at 1.29pm, we then spoke with the landlord and instructed the contractor at 1.50pm, you were then emailed at 2.24pm with an update on which contractors would be attending. When the engineer came out to look at the issue with the shower, despite you previously agreeing that they could use the management set of keys for access, they could not get in to the property as you had dropped the latch on the inner door, so this appointment had to be re-booked. You mention in your review that when you moved out of the property the issues you had raised on move in had not been recorded and a substantial sum had been taken from your deposit. As stated previously, although you were given 7 days to update your inventory on move in you did not make one amendment. There were several issue raised on your move out report, but the landlord agreed to undertake these works at his own expense and not charge you. The only deduction made against your deposit was for the property to be cleaned. As the property was professionally cleaned prior to you moving in, this is not an unreasonable request. You also mention that you had no choice but to pay for our errors. As stated, all that we have made a claim for is the cleaning of the property. You were advised that you could appeal this with the Tenancy Deposit Scheme and submit supporting evidence, but you chose not to do this. You did receive a rent increase of 8.3% after living in the property for 15 months, considering that over this period rents have increased between 10-15% and landlords mortgages have increased in excess of 50% again I do not think this unreasonable. Notwithstanding the above I do wish you the very best in your new home.

Although we didn't ultimately purchase a property through McFarlane Sales and Lettings, we did view several properties on their books and were accompanied to all of these by their negotiator Tianah Poynter. I can only commend McFarlane for how well Tianah represented the company. She was friendly, courteous, extremely well prepared and knowledgeable about the properties she showed and really 'sold' them to us, pointing out where potential existed and putting ideas forward for how changes could be made to make the properties suitable for our needs. Any questions she couldn't answer immediately were followed up with a response in a very timely manner and she kept in touch with us over a couple of weeks to keep updated with our situation, without ever becoming pushy or over-bearing. Well done Tianah - you'll go a long way in this business with your outstanding attitude and obvious empathy with and understanding of people searching for a new property.

From the moment I engaged with them, I was impressed by the warm welcome and the hard work they put into assisting their clients. A special mention goes to Anita, who has been helping us find excellent properties to add to our portfolio. Her dedication, kindness, and willingness to go the extra mile have made the process smooth and enjoyable. She consistently provides all the information I request promptly and efficiently. I highly recommend McFarlane Sales & Lettings to anyone looking for a professional, friendly, and hardworking team in the property market. Anita and the entire team truly stand out!

I would highly recommend McFarlane to anybody selling their house in Swindon. The main man Dom Mullen is an honest, trustworthy guy and won't try and pull the wool over your eyes. He’ll say it how it is. Jo (Sales Progressor) is very thorough, Bradley in the Wood Street Branch went to my house to turn the heating on when I asked and Cam was always courteous showing prospective buyers around the house. The fees are a lot cheaper than competitors in the area. You get the same service (without the BS), without any hidden fees and they do what they say. Highly recommended and if you're selling your house I'd opt for these guys!
