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.

Terrible service, incompetent at handling the simplest of things, very slow and unwilling to do anything, fraudulent and a little bit dodgy, it's like they just want the money and aren't willing to do the job wholeheartedly, literally don't even do the bare minimum they do less, they do nothing but ...

Agent was eager to get the transaction done as quickly as possible and did not follow all the correct procedure, we should have been more suspicion of the faint smell of desperation

I was a tenant with Faulkners for nearly five years. They have been an excellent company/agent to rent from. They really do care and attended to the house on a regular 6month basis to check for maintenance. So from a Landlord and a tenant point of view they are always on top of the property. ...

NEVER USE FAULKNER PROPERTY. While you are a tenent in one of their properties they have the worst customer service. I asked them over 10 times to repair the patio doors and my washing machine which were broken due to know fault of mine. You will also get charged an extortionate amount as a deposit ...

I've never seen swindlers so shoddily disguised as estate agents in all the years I've been renting. The only thing missing from these guys is a pencil moustache and a cat to stroke while speaking to tenants. Get ready for the fight of your life if you want your deposit back. They will contest ...

As a former tenant of Faulkner, my advice for all potential tenants is this: DON'T DO IT! Go to any other estate agents but them. My family and I have lived in Buckingham for over 25 years and my tenancy with Faulkner was the worst experience that any of us have had with estate agents. Their ... Read Full Review

Been in the property for over a year, just renewed the contract for another year and the annual Gas test has just been undertaken - resulted in the boiler and gas hob isolated and unusable. Phone call from the estate agents to say they were doing all they could but that British Gas quoted 4 weeks! ... Read Full Review
Need to think of the tenant as your customer not just the landlord.

17 Oct 2014Its is an annual requirement to check all gas equipment in a property. Something we take very seriously. On Friday 10th October, both the boiler and hob were checked by a Gas Safe Engineer and were...

Avoid Faulkner Property like the plague. I have had the misfortune of being a tenant with them twice and I would never go back again. All of the previous comments give a very good indication of their tactics. They will do ANYTHING to get extra money from you. If for any reason you have the ... Read Full Review

We informed Falkners we wanted the property submitted forms and everything was agreed subject to references then 24 hrs later we were told it had been let to someone else. They clearly showed the property despite our commitment and took the administration fee in poor faith. We believe they were ... Read Full Review

I disapprove of Faulkner letting agency. I was dissatisfied at their customer service and they were not accommodating when asked questions. This letting agency seems to only be interested in money instead of finding a home for those searching. Truly bad experience. Would definitely not ... Read Full Review

[[EDIT ORIGINAL START]] An absoulute joke of an agency. Having had many rental properties over the years I would rate these as the worst by a mile. Impossible to communicate with, never return calls, have held my deposit for 2 weeks without explantion after leaving the property, had to repair the ... Read Full Review
see above, completely incapable of supporting a tenant. No communication and simply pathetic in helping with the landlord.

Faulkeners do not care about their tenants. The only time they care is when they are taking your money from you in the beginning. They do not encourage landlords to replace anything. One member of staff actually said to me 'We are here to protect the landlords'. Which then in turn made me wonder ... Read Full Review

I wish I had read this site before I moved in! We had very similar bad experiences. Turning up unannounced, very rude and unhelpful and find 100's of reasons to slap you with over the top charges for ridiculous things. Once you are in there is nothing you can do to stop this.

Likewise to most of you, I have had a terrible experience with Faulkner Letting Agents in Milton Keynes, and would highly recommend you to avoid these agents - they are there to take over your money... I found them very rude and impatient too. Apart from administration fee (nearly £200) that these ... Read Full Review

I agree with the other reviews and they all carry a theme. Enter without notice. Lie that a repair is not reported. Inspect property and complain about something already on the ongoing inventory. And what upsets me is they get away with it. No authority that can punish them and they are dealing ... Read Full Review
