John and Emily were very helpful and went above and beyond to help me in every way they possibly could and I even got a phone call a few days after I moved to make sure everything went ok. Brilliant service

I was very happy with the service received from John and Emily, I would recommend them. They dealt with everything in the property I have just rented professionally and courteously.

Really great service from start to finish. A special mention goes out to Emily and Chris for all their efforts, not just for getting us a great mortgage deal but keeping us updated throughout.

A very professional and helpful service for finding and securing a rental property. John Cusworth was very helpful showing us the properties and seemed to know exactly what we would like, helping us find our perfect place.

August 2018 Very Disappointing! On their website it is claimed: “Phil’s enthusiasm and passion for exemplary customer service has built him a solid reputation and repeat clients.” I am afraid to say our experience was very different. Let me hasten to say at the outset that I am well aware that the housing market is very sluggish right now and my complaint is not about Davis Tate’s failure to sell our property. After our first meeting I was very hopeful, as Phil seemed to be living up to his reputation for providing enthusiastic customer service and we agreed to give him sole agency for four weeks. After we had approved the photographs, it was nearly a week before anything appeared online. (With our new agents it took just a couple of hours.) It took another three weeks before our house featured on the advertisement board at the Davis Tate offices in Abingdon. At our initial meeting, we asked, and Phil agreed, to leave a business card each time he brought clients to the house. Not once did this happen. He did bring clients around on a number of occasions but, unless we phoned him and asked, we were never offered any feedback. We had no idea what potential buyers did or did not like. Just as the 4 week sole agency was about to expire, Phil telephoned to ask if he could bring clients around the following Saturday. Naturally we agreed. The same thing happened the following week, so again we agreed. At this point we were about to go on holiday for 3 weeks so it was not feasible to bring other estate agents on board at that stage. After deciding to reduce the asking price to expedite the sale, my husband went in to see Phil. At this meeting he enquired why no ‘For Sale’ signs had been erected at our property. Phil claimed he hadn’t realised this was the case which, in my view, is unacceptable, it is part of the service one expects and he did have one made within a couple of days. After returning from holiday, my husband emailed Phil to inform him that we were revoking his sole agency which by this time had lasted for 10 rather than 4 weeks. He did not have the courtesy to respond. Within 48 hours of that email however, our online adverts had been removed and our ‘For Sale’ notice had been removed from the Davis Tate window; in that regard he was very quick and efficient. So, for all these reasons my advice would be to go elsewhere if you are serious about getting good service and selling your house.

Excellent! Emily’s exceptionally friendly helpful and professional service made the re-letting of my house a very positive experience. She was always available to help and advise and is a real credit to her agency. I would not hesitate to recommend her to other landlords.

Hi Sally, thank you for your positive review - Emily is an award winning local agent and Davis Tate are very fortunate to have her on our team!

The initial valuation visit in our house was from manager Phil and he was also accompanied by a colleague. Together they gave a professional, positive and realistic assessment that led us to decide for Davis Tate to market our family home. Throughout the process of the subsequent successful sale the staff in the Abingdon office kept us informed at every stage in a personal and professional manner. Warmly recommended.

What a professional, helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly service we have received from Phil over the last few months. My husband and I couldn't be happier with the help, advice and speed in which Phil has dealt with our complicated house sale. From the initial consultation and valuation; his professional photographer worthy photos of our property; to his cheerful, positive manner; all the way through to exchange. (Our house in fact selling within 24 hours) He did what he said, when he said he would; kept us informed; going above and beyond on several occasions. He has been exceptional on all levels. Taking the time to explain things in detail and make sure we were happy every step of the way. He has made what could have been a very stressful situation (myself also being 6 months pregnant) easy, straightforward and handled it in such a way that I have had the utmost confidence in him and his capabilities as our agent from start to finish. I have found his support these last few months unwavering. It's nice to know there's still some genuine, honest, helpful people around. Phil is definitely one of the good guys!

I was recommended the Davis Tate Financial advisor Chris Pledge to deal with my sons complicated mortgage arrangements and not disappointed... He not only did a house visit Friday night but dealt with the paperwork in the office Sunday morning. He certainly shows how proficient he is in a relaxed confident manner. The 5 year offer was eventually finalised and a wonderful deal after all his hard work. Well recommended Emily Thompson. Thanks again.

I'd like to share my experience with Davis Tate estate agents. So far it's been great and I hope it continues that way. From day one from viewing the property to handing over the keys it has been very smooth transition for us. No hidden costs or expenses. So far we didn't have any major problems but little things to be fixed in the property and it has been acted upon very quickly. Charlotte has been very very helpful in sorting out any property maintenance related issues. I'd 100% recommend this estate agents and will use them in future. I have not been given any rewards for this review. It's a genuine review for a team that works hard. thank you guys.

Over the last couple of years my wife and I have expanded our small property portfolio by three, 3 x Bedroom houses , all successfully let out by Oliver Martin, brilliant service! We now have four properties let via Davis Tate, looking for more if the right ones come along. Good News, Oliver has just re-let one of our properties after two viewings. Oliver always has time to discuss the letting industry, giving advice and guidance wherever possible, as we grow our portfolio we will speak to Oliver at the first instance in all matters pertaining to the purchase and letting.
