I placed a property on the letting market with Hawkesford and within two days three viewings were arranged. The first person to view agreed the asking rent and thereafter the transaction proceeded without a hitch.

I needed to find tenants for my property and they did that. The reason for the low score is base on the way the process was managed.
Photos were very poor and Hawesford agreed to change them

The most unprofessional, rude and dishonest people I've ever met.

The fees are reasonable, but as soon as there is an issue Hawkesford don't want to know. The landlord should look elsewhere as he is a decent chap by all accounts.

I note with interest your review, if you would please let me know what property you rented through us an I will look into it on your behalf.
I don't like receiving poor reviews especially with nothing to back it up.
Your comment in regard to hidden fees is completely wrong, all our fees are quite clearly stated on correspondence, our website, and in the office. Our fees are one of the lowest in the area.
Regards
James Hawkesford MD ...

Reasonable fees and no hidden extra costs (eg no mandatory insurances).
Very quick arranging repairs to the property.
Respectful to the tenant, communicating relevant information by post, for example advising of possible noise / nuisances due to refurbishments on close flats.
Best agency I've dealt with ...
