GoogleGavin, Sara and the team at Dacres were absolutely brilliant. Gavin’s local knowledge and vast experience really stood out from the start. I felt my property had been undervalued by another local estate agent, but Gavin immediately recognised that it was unique and gave a confident, well-reasoned valuation along with a clear sense of what to expect. It was clear that the team have an honest, no games approach to selling properties.
Thanks to Dacres proactive approach - including a full weekend of viewings - I ended up selling for over the asking price that first weekend. To top it all off, in the middle of the viewings my cats decided to kill a pigeon… and Gavin calmly dealt with it without hesitation! If that doesn’t demonstrate going above and beyond, I don’t know what does.
I would highly recommend Dacres and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

Google18 Months of selling our house, the Good the Bad and the Ugly.
THANK GOODNESS FOR DACRES
We recently concluded a sale with Dacres. Within 2 weeks of going back to market, a flurry of credible block viewings, a higher offer than previous was secured and despite being in a sales chain of 5 the sale completed within 6 months. - they have restored our faith in estate agents.
After attempting to sell our home via another agent, a year long filled with a myriad of problems in pre and after sales culminating in a collapsed sale after 6 months, in which evidence of funds had not even been secured. Disillusioned, downtrodden we resolved to move forward.
Cue Dacres- our experience beginning to end could not have been further away from the preceding horrific year.
What changed in our experience to make this happen:
Working with Jonathan, the valuation was not inflated, fair and entirely realistic, resulting in an offer higher than had previously been warily accepted.
After a wasted year, our desire to move quickly for a move overseas could have been used as a tactic to entice lower than expected offers by other less experienced agents, however this translated into Dacres doing extra work to ensure our block viewings were arranged only by entirely proceed-able buyers, far reducing the amount of viewings, disruption and stress.
The viewings were conducted with a full knowledge base on the property and area.
Feedback was comprehensive, entirely transparent, rather than a marks out of 10 system adding valuable insight to inform future viewings.
Finally the sale process- naturally as a sales chan of 5, it came with challenges but were overcame only by Kelly’s highly capable meticulous proactive management approach and communication skills- always going the extra mile she really drove and kept the progress momentum all the way through.
At each point we were given detailed updates, any queries dealt with promptly.
Finally it was clear from working with Dacres what a strong value based, close knit professional and respectful team they have, we were made to feel a part of that team which I’m convinced was critical in the outcome.
Working with Jonathan and Kelly was an absolute joy, they are excellent at what they do, highly professional and really lovey personable people to work with.
We couldn’t sing their praises high enough or more widely.
Thankyou, from a Tranmere Park resident now happily living overseas family.

GoogleJonathan and his team have been truly outstanding, from the initial telephone contact to the final transaction, working with Dacres has been a positive experience. Jonathan visited our home, provided a detailed analysis of its market value, the reasoning behind that with appropriate evidence and advised on a suitable marketing strategy.
The support team kept us informed throughout, weekly calls at pre agreed times were scheduled and adhered to.
Excellent service throughout.
Well done Dacres, well done Jonathan.

We were kept updated throughout the sale and Lily helped us to chase and push when things felt like they were stagnating. I would be happy to use Dacres again for a purchase and would absolutely trust them with my property sale!
Thank you so much Lily x

Dear Mr Griffin, we are naturally concerned and disappointed that you have been underwhelmed with our service to the extent that you have posted this review. The other customers involved in your transaction were both very pleased with our involvement during a transaction which was impeded by a legal title issue on your purchase, something which could only be resolved by the respective party’s lawyers, not ourselves. From our own research we know that 97% of our customers would recommend us to friends or family which is an industry leading level of satisfaction.
