About McFarlane's
Since we opened our doors in 2004 we have gone from strength to strength. Twenty years later we now have 5 high street offices covering the local area and a highly experienced team who are on hand to look after your property requirements and ensure your home moving experience is as stress free as possible. It has been and always will be our aim to provide a first class service with honesty and integrity.
Our story
McFarlane’s opened in 2004 initially specialising in residential lettings and property management. During the first few years property investment was the big thing and Buy to Let landlords were coming on to the scene in significant numbers. This did slowdown somewhat following the financial crash of 2008.
In 2010 we started offering a residential sales service alongside our lettings and property management service. This was shortly followed by our move into our head office in Old Town. In 2012 we opened the doors to our Cricklade office.
2017 brought our first acquisition when we completed on the takeover of a local residential sales and lettings agent and integrated them into the McFarlane name. The following year we completed on the acquistion of an established sales and lettings agent in Marlborough and opened our third office.
Several more acquisitions followed over the next few years and in 2020 we opened our new office on the Marlborough high street. The following year we opened our fourth office in North Swindon. In 2023 we agreed the lease on a new office in the heart of Cirencester and we are now looking forward to what the next few years will bring.
Our community
The team at McFarlane are very active in supporting the local community. This is something we feel strongly about and believe it is important to give back to the community from which we belong. Over the years we have sponsored a number of youth sports teams and regularly run competitions involving the local schools.
We are currently sponsoring a local cricket team and have recently sponsored a local music festival and literary festival, we have also been involved in the Open Doors event and have held Macmillan coffee mornings.
We are one of the founding member of a local business networking group and each year we pay for local disadvantaged children to attend popular events through Circus Starr.

Words from our happy customers
I have just completed the purchase of my first home in Swindon. The whole process was a very positive experience. I dealt with Paul Dearing in the sales team who was both courteous and helpful at all times. Would recommend
Susan Webb, Marlborough
The best estate agent… never went with! We were one below in the chain for our move and McFarlanes (specially a lady called Jo) was the best progressor of a complicated chain we have ever seen. Jo kept the momentum going and we can’t thank them enough.
James, Marlborough
Absolutely brilliant service. We have recently sold our house through McFarlane, who were fantastic through the whole process. Firstly, Laura took some beautiful photos of our property. Once on the market, viewings were hosted by Tianah who I cannot speak highly enough about. She took the time to get a real feel for the place herself, and spoke to us for an insight to the local area, surroundings, and made the process an absolute pleasure, and kept us fully updated with feedback and progression. Great stuff!

Ian D, Swindon
Tianah was very welcoming, professional and knowledgeable when showing me around the two properties I was interested in. When visiting the branch in Old Town Swindon Laura was on hands with all the advise I needed as a first time buyer prepared to other local branches of estate agents I had visited.

Mandi G, Swindon
Anita was absolutely amazing. Anita accomodated both myself and my mum and showed us a number of properties all at short notice! She is absolutely fantastic and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her or McFarlane Sales & Lettings.
Thank you so much Anita xxxx

My purchase with McFarlane was so incredibly smooth and quick
From my initial viewing with Anita who didn’t rush me and talked me through the property with great detail and passion, to the sales process after my offer was accepted with Laura who kept me up to date and responded to my questions super quick every time.
100% recommend!

Hannah J, Swindon
Simply the best estate agency. Highly recommend.
Anita, Laura and Tianah from McFarlanes are just the best people to sell your home. They sold my house in 3 days and found me a new home too. I cannot recommend them more highly. I have received 5* service. The team really care in a professional efficient and friendly manner. Nothing is too much trouble they are always there to advise and offer support. Incredible results and the best all round Estate agency I have ever delt with. If you want results contact Anita at Mcfarlans Old Town Swindon. You wont be disappointed. Paul Swindon

Alexandra, Swindon

A BIG thank you to the team.

Marcus K, Swindon
We had a great experience working with McFarlane, whilst selling the home that had been in the family for about 60 years. Every member of the team where amazing to deal, from initial survey, carrying out the viewings, providing updates after viewings, all the way through to weekly updates as the sale was completed. They were on top of everything, very professional and had 100% trust in them. It was a five star experience and thank you to the team for making the process stress free for us.
Mark F, Swindon
Buying a house is very stressful. Thankfully, the house we fell in love with was being marketed by McFarlane. McFarlane were there for us throughout our buying journey, especially Tom and Natalie. We were able to arrange to see the property on numerous occasions and answered any queries we had. They communicated with the sellers on our behalf and kept us updated on the progress regularly. They even communicated regularly with both ours and the sellers solicitors to keep things moving along. If you are having trouble finding a solicitor, mortgage broker or surveyor or you don’t know where to start McFarlane can recommend several companies suitable for your needs.

I highly recommend McFarlane Sales & Lettings Estate Agents! The team, especially Craig and Christina from the Cricklade branch, provided exceptional service. Christina did a brilliant job chasing the solicitors, ensuring a smooth and timely process. They were attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to meet my needs. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. Thank you for your excellent work! 5 stars!
Joe Brown, Cricklade
McFarlane have been an absolute pleasure to deal with throughout the purchase of our house. Christina has kept in touch with regular updates, guiding us through every step of the process as well as keeping the momentum going in the chain, chasing solictors and developers. Christina’s kindness and warmth was greatly appreciated (and needed) throughout the stressful twists and turns of moving. I would highly recommend McFarlane in Cricklade.
Katie Knowles, Cricklade
We have been very impressed by the team at McFarlane, Tim Stanley for his persistence in securing the property for us and especially to Christina Hughes for achieving completion in such a short time. Christina is a joy to deal with making what is usually a fairly stressful time an almost pleasurable experience. She is very professional but also warm, funny and understanding. She has really kept on top of this purchase communicating with all the parties involved and updating us regularly. The total time to completion 6 weeks is amazing, both she and our solicitor. also a lovely lady, have pulled out all the stops and gone the extra mile to achieve this. Girl power at its best. Thank you all, we can thoroughly recommend McFarlane Cricklade.
Margaret Wright, Cricklade
Very happy with the service received from McFarlane’s for our sale; we worked with both Victoria and Christina who were professional, prompt and supported us with our queries as the sale progressed. When we encountered delays in the chain Christina in particular went above and beyond, communicating with the entire chain to attempt to resolve the matter and allow us to proceed; we knew we were in safe hands, and overall have been incredibly impressed and would definitely recommend their services.
Paul Johnston, Marlborough
Christina Hughes went above and beyond in helping with the purchase of my house go as smoothly as possible. Always on hand for advice and always went that extra mile in making sure I was kept up to date with all the information. Very friendly helpful lady and an asset to the company.
Shelley Clarke, Cricklade
We met Paul Dearing regarding selling our property and he was professional, helpful and organised. He kept in touch with us throughout the sale process and whenever I left a message he called me back promptly and nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend. Many thanks Paul.
