We waited until 11.45, then decided to ... Read Full Review
If this is normal practice, then whatever they charge it's too much.

Disappointing from start to finish. Over valued our property then rushed us into making a decision. The description on Rightmove was extremely vague and we had to pretty much tell them what to write. We had very little interest and felt like Farrell Heyworth were doing little to help. When we did ... Read Full Review

Terrible attitude. Viewed a property then received calls for feedback (although this was clearly given to the estate agent on the day) which I couldn't take due to being in work, so I emailed. Then got a stroppy message saying if I didn't get back to them they wouldn't let me view the next property ... Read Full Review

Absolutely appalling service to us as potential tenants. Dealt with four or five different staff and none were ever able to deal with the simplest of questions about particular properties or even their own fees. Shown round a property that was clearly not ready to let covered in mildew and nobody ... Read Full Review
Terribly high. Higher than prestigious Bath agents. £100 guarantor fee, double fees for two people (even if they are a couple). Online it says £700 applicant renewal fee which though clearly a mistake, the staff member thought was the actual amount you would pay after 6 months to renew your tenancy.

Disgusting company. Rented our first house with these clowns and had rubbish service throughout. They wouldn't come round to sort out things that were broken and we had to live in a house invested with damp which attracted all sorts of critters which was wasn't nice. Nothing was done about the damp ... Read Full Review

Matthew the Manager at Poulton is very nice and helpful. However it's coming upto my 16 wk contract and NO sale evolved :-(. I have only given 2 stars purely because of the lack of feedback and communication from the office such as returning calls. Just one of the unlucky ones I suppose. Thanks for ... Read Full Review

They are very nice to until you sign that contract (in which they do not explain) and then the communication is terrible. When I asked if my house had any interest they replied with 'I don't know I've not checked me emails all day'. I want out of my contract and they are all ignoring me. ... Read Full Review
