Newton Fallowell in short

Newton Fallowell runs its Telford branch from Church Street in Wellington, under a company active for well over a decade. Its standout is a landlord fees page that tables let-only, management and renewal charges with the VAT position on each line. The branch links a client money protection certificate and sits on the Property Ombudsman register. The branch page also names the local team.

Customer reviews are strong for Newton Fallowell, with a headline rating of 4.7 from just under one hundred and fifty Google ratings, the only public source we hold. Our view is that this suits landlords who want every charge on one table before first contact. What counts against it is narrow: the site publishes no insurance detail.
