Rachel at McCartneys handled the purchase of our new home extremely well. Communication was faultless with swift replies to any queries. Nothing was too much trouble ....... which was just as well as the purchase turned out to be a little more complicated than is usual! Many thanks indeed.... Read more

Over the years we have sold a couple of properties through Darren & Rachel in the Brecon McCartneys office and have also been on the other end, buying. They have always responded quickly and clearly on queries and when in need of advice (no pressure guys!). Darren is a pragmatic valuer which is a huge help when managing expectations. I would say they go beyond and would be our go to team if we are ever back in the market.... Read more

Well done to Darren and Rachel at McCartneys. They offered excellent advice regarding the sale of our property, put together an excellent sales package, and then quickly managed to secure an acceptable offer.
From this point onwards they kept us well informed regarding the progress of the sale regularly liaising with ourselves, the buyer and our solicitor. A good team effort secured completion today - the last working day of 2024.
Excellent personal service and high quality and timely advice.
Thank you!... Read more

During the buying of our new property the team at McCartneys was just excellent. The staff in the office were always happy to help and provide us with up to date information. Any query was promptly dealt with in a friendly and professional manner. In particular Darren our estate agent was exceptional to work with, being always informative, professional and personable. I can fully recommend McCartneys to any seller or buyer as they provide an all round brilliant service.... Read more

Selling a property is quite an emotional time especially when you've invested so much into your home. Darren and the team at McCartneys absolutely saw the potential in ours and produced the most amazing video. Their professionalism and support from start to finish made the sale so much easier and Jools was always on hand to keep us updated and answer any questions we had, never once making us feel we were wasting her time. We would recommend this amazing team without hesitation if ever we buy or sell again.... Read more

Moving house is stressful at the best of times, but when you have additional challenges associated with the sale of your property, then you need the ‘A Team’ working for you.
From initial contact and the fantastic marketing that really showcased the property, to completion day, which was truly eventful in itself! we can honestly say that Darren and Julie were outstanding.
This was not the easiest sale and purchase we have done, but with the professional and experienced support of the team, we finally moved into our forever home.
We highly recommend McCartneys... Read more

We used McCartneys to sell our house in Llandefalle near Brecon last year. The sale was completed in January of this year. We initially asked advice from four agents because the market was going through an uncertain time post covid. Of all the agents who visited us Darren Thomas was by far the most helpful, knowledgeable, and realistic in helping us to arrive at our initial sale price. During the sale period, we had excellent service from both Julie and Rachel. They were both attentive and professional in their approach and importantly always kept us aware of developments with potential purchasers. We would of course have no hesitation in recommending them as probably the best agent in the area. Alec & Sue Harris... Read more

We are cash buyers trying to buy a property from McCarneys in Brecon and the lady answering the phone on the weekend has to be the rudest estate agent I have ever had the misfortune to speak to. Having bought and sold 7 properties, we are not without experience but as a purchaser I have never been made to feel like a total inconvenience before. If there was another agent dealing with the development I would most certainly buy through them, it is almost enough to put me off the purchase. I cannot in good conscience recommend this estate agent and would advise those thinking of using them to sell a property to avoid at all costs.... Read more

Very poor communication from the first day of enquiry, was asked “can I give you a call back in a minute?” A day later still no call back. Had to constantly call over a few days. Completely unprofessional. Advertising properties as “available now” despite them not having EPC/safety certificates (She told me they had to wait at least 2.5 weeks to get someone in to do the checks, possibly even longer).. that is NOT “available now”, also keep in mind that the property has been advertised as “available now” for months despite apparently not having these certificates. Whilst we were viewing the outside of a property (it was essential as we absolutely have to move, and in 14 years of renting I have always viewed the outside of a property before proceeding with requesting internal viewings), someone in the same cottage allowed us to view the inside of the property, upon finding out that we had viewed the property, McCartneys basically black listed us from the entire estate agents and refused to let us view ANY of their properties, They made us feel like criminals when we’d done nothing wrong, we followed social distancing, and we were punished for it. We were told to find a different estate agents, the only other estate agent that covered that area do not allow any pets for all of their properties, we told McCartneys that we couldn’t use them as we have a dog, and they didn’t care at all, they still refused to let us view any of their properties, leaving us with absolutely no options or way of finding a new home for ourselves and our young children. It’s absolutely disgraceful behaviour, never will I ever recommend McCartneys, if anything I will advise people to not use them for anything at all, awful people, awful company. Sellers/Landlords/landladies/tenants/buyers BEWARE.... Read more

After following the advice of one of the agents that it was ok to view the property we were then made to feel like criminals after we went and did exactly that. There seems to be a disjoint in the company with differing advise depending on who answers the phone. All this was after constant chasing up after being told they'd "call us back" "send us the paperwork" ect all of which none came to avail. So in the end I was pretty much told that they are not interested in letting ANY of the properties they have on the various websites, considering theres perhaps only one other estate agents covering the area we have pretty much blacklisted from the area. Never have I experienced anything like this in my 10+ years in the rental market place. Landlords/landladies and prospective renters/buyers beware and prepare for a runaround and to be spoken down to in a disgusting manner,

Generally poor performance from start to finish of the renting procedure.
Little urgency, hardly any contact (We had to chase for any updates), even on the day of our actual move I got told the keys are ready to pick up. To then come in to get the keys (with a vehicle full of my stuff) to be told actually we're waiting on some last bit of paper work can you come back this AFTERNOON. On the day of the move.
Not impressed.... Read more
