Farrell Heyworth

Farrell Heyworth are one of the UK’s leading independent Estate Agents with 18 Farrell Heyworth branded branches across the North West. We’re also part of a network of over 600 branches as preferred agents for the Relocation Agent Network.

“We have worked with David for many years to help us through the maze of compliance requirements. We were the first agent to take up their online due diligence training system for staff over 10 years ago back in 2008. The system has improved over the years and it ensures everyone is up to date and compliant - a great system, user friendly and surprisingly inexpensive. Added to this David keeps us up to date with legislation changes, he offers practical advice and the fact that I can pick up the phone at any time and have a chat about any compliance worry I might have, I have no hesitation in recommending Compliance-Matters.”

Debbie Miller

Hunters

We have independently owned estate agent branches. The vast majority of our branches are run by business owners who are experts in their own local area and property market, who then additionally benefit from being a Hunters Partner.

“The services Compliance Matters provide for Hunters in the area of compliance auditing is exceptional. They provide professional reports and include advice and assistance to our franchisees as part of the process.  They might be external service providers, but we see them as an integral part of our head office team and would recommend their services to any agent.”

Jayne Twiddle

Head of Franchise Network Support at Hunters (200+ franchise branches covering England and Wales)

They are clear and concise, we can rack progress and report on completion, which ensures our people are always up to date on compliance training. It's been a great partnership.”

Cooper & Tanner Estate Agents, Commercial Agents and Auctioneers, operate seven offices in Somerset & Wiltshire, providing Professional Estate Agency and Surveying services to the Residential, Agricultural and Commercial property sectors within the region.

“We live in a confusing, legislative world, the property market in particular has seen a raft of legislation and onerous government requirements for what should be a simple task: Selling or renting property. If only it was thus. If you want to either avoid or remove the migraine that is dealing with GDPR, Anti-Money Laundering, Terms of Business, property mis-descriptions etc, etc or just require advice on the headache and frustration inducing world of compliance – talk to David or Matt, you will not regret it. Clear, concise advice at the right price.”
