I found the staff extremely pushy and unhelpful. Also felt that with being a young first time buyer we wasn't taken seriously.
Nearly four weeks later, the for sale sign is sat on our drive after emailing and phoning the branch.
Wouldn't be recommending to family or friends.

Disgusting is the only word to describe this letting agency. After renting a property from them for 10 years and keeping it in impeccable condition, I was issued a Section 21, in October 2023. This came 2 weeks after I complained about an issue with ongoing mould & damp. The ...

Shocking company, avoid renting with them if possible, do not care about there tenants, take days to reply and whenever you ring up it’s always ‘we’ll call you back’ you will never be called back untill you chase it up again.
Very difficult ...

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 ...

They are useless!! They couldn’t sell our lovely 3 bedroom properly in a popular area of Preston a few months ago despite us selling it under market valuation for a quick sale as we had already found a property to buy - and in the current property market!! We eventually got a seller after 5 months (!) on the market but they pulled out after 3 months due to the lack of contact from FH making them feel anxious that nothing was happening. Terrible TERRIBLE customer service, absolutely no contact ...

I approached them a few times via email to see properties. They didn't have the courtesy to even reply. When they did reply they weren't even prepared to arrange a viewing unless I could prove I was in a "proceedable" position. So they are turning ...

Terrible, would not provide any details of when we could move in. On the Monday they said we could move in this week. On Wednesday at 1700 they rang us to say the move in date has been pushed back by over 2 weeks....

Had a valuation appointment scheduled in. Surveyor called to say he would be late. In the end, he never came with no explanation as to why. Tried to ring him, he just ignored calls. Rung to the office, was told they would look into it ...

Dear Danielle,
We're sorry to hear you were dissatisfied with some aspects of our service. We have now investigated the matter further and feel that we have acted in a professional and timely manner on our clients behalf during your purchase of their property.
The vendors of this property were subsequently purchasing a new build property, this meant that we were instructed to complete any purchase of the property within a 6 week timescale which was communicated to you when your offer on ...

I have never encountered service as relaxed as that offered by the Lettings division of Farrell Hayworth (FH). I rarely leave reviews online but was so disappointed by the time FH took dealing with my tenancy application that I wish to warn others who may ...

Comment on agent fees
£150 for a near 3 month turnaround on an application seems ridiculous.

Thanks for getting in touch with your concerns. We are keen to hear all feedback from our clients and actively consider it when planning changes to our customer service policy.
All applications are dealt with by our lettings department as expediently as possible. Occasionally applications take longer than expected due to delays regarding third parties which are beyond our control.
Communication with our clients is very important to us. Our lettings team are constan ...

Farrell Heyworth is probably not the most reliable agent.
1) When I went to view the property, I told the agent about certain factors which might affect my application. He/she got back to me saying that it would not be a problem, and for me ...

Worst estate agents ever. Very slow and not self efficient. Felt like they don't even care. Was purchasing a home through them and they don't even care if your situation or even try and help. All talk but no action. I literally had to call ...

Following your review we have investigated this matter further. We have been unable to find a property which matches the particulars of the sale price and postcode which you refer to in your review. We always seek to provide both sellers and buyers with the very highest standards of customer service and, as such, are very concerned about the comments left in your review. We would be grateful if you could get in touch with either myself or one of my colleagues in branch on 01772 787666 and hopef ...

I bought and sold using Farrell Heyworth. Amanda pulled out all the stops (above and beyond the call of duty) to make sure the whole process was as stress-free as possible and got things moving. Cheers!!!...

No fees information available
Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
Complaints Procedure
No procedure available.
We're sorry to hear you were dissatisfied with some aspects of our service. We have now investigated the matter further and feel that we have acted in a professional and timely manner on our clients behalf during your purchase of their property.
The vendors of this property were subsequently purchasing a new build property, this meant that we were instructed to complete any purchase of the property within a 6 week timescale which was communicated to you when your offer on the property was successful.
We understand that many First Time Buyers are not aware of the steps necessary in the successful purchase of a property. Our branch staff worked hard to provide you with information and assistance to ensure that your purchase was successful.
We apologise for any delay in the collection of our For Sale board. We have contacted our external board contractors who have confirmed it has now been collected.
If you wish to discuss this further please feel free to contact me on 01772 787666
Kind regards,
Simon Long - Branch Manager - Farrell Heyworth Fulwood
