I could go on forever about the constant problems I had with this agent over my 3 years as a private tenant. I work night shifts and regularly had issues with them trying to arrange inspections, as it's what's convenient for them and not you. This resulted in me cancelling numerous times, complaining to head office and my wishes constantly being ignored. This continued for the duration of THREE years. The final straw was when I received a phone call from said agents to inform me my rent hadn't been paid and that my landlord could issue me with a section whatever it was, basically to kick me out. My rent was always paid on the 1st of the month,but after 3 years they suddenly decided it was due on the 30th. I quite happily started to search for a new home. I was then further insulted after I'd moved out when I received another call to inform me they wanted £50 from my deposit to clean the oven, which had already been done by myself and I'd also spent over £100 to tidy up the mess of a garden at the property. I just paid this off as I'd had enough of dealing with them. I'm now very happy in my new home and with my new agents who I can't fault. I would NEVER recommend this company to anyone!!

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

Poor overall service. Had to cancel initial mortgage advisor meeting - no initial apology. Vendors went onto pull out. Was not informed of this until Friday 5pm, some time after the vendors had made that decision. Staff stated they tried to contact us when cannot find any record on my phone of... Read Full Review

Simply atrocious. Never responded to calls. Never acted on information given. Simply seemed like they didn't care. Had a bad leak within months of moving to the property. Reported this more times than I care to count. On eventually getting a response, it's apparently 'nothing to do with Farrel... Read Full Review
Turning up every now and then would have been a good start. Or returning a phone call. Being frank, Farrell Heyworth were NOT a letting agency. They took a cut of the landlords rent for the sake of making sure rent was in on time. This included me having to ring the landlord while she was in hospital, giving birth because of a flood of water pouring in from a lift shaft that Farrell Heyworth never acknowledged. Genuinely disgusted and glad to be moving out soon.
Usual garbage fees for checks which we had thorough proof of anyway. To be honest no different from other estate agents, though did overcharge.

Paul Hearne did an excellent job for me when my tenant abandoned my property without observing the due process. Paul was on hand to deliver the right advice, the right expertise and with the right amount of diligence. Two weeks later we have a new tenant, any remedial works to the property have...

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.
