I cannot recommend Catherine at Rendells Totnes highly enough for the fantastic job she did selling my house. From day one, her market knowledge, clear communication, and proactive approach made the entire process stress-free. She went above and beyond to handle viewings , kept me updated at every single step, and secured a brilliant result for me. If you are looking for an honest, hardworking, and professional estate agent who truly works in your best interest, look no further.

I had an exceptional experience with Rendells Totnes while selling my home, and I couldn’t recommend them more highly. From start to finish, the team were thoroughly professional, proactive, and incredibly responsive. They maintained real momentum throughout the entire process, navigating market challenges and ensuring everything stayed on track. What really stood out was the sense of partnership, I genuinely felt they were invested in achieving the best outcome for me, rather than just managing a transaction. The whole process was handled as simply and cleanly as possible, which made a potentially stressful experience feel smooth and well-controlled. A special mention to Catherine, Debbie, and Robin, who were outstanding throughout. Their communication, attention to detail, and professionalism were second to none, and it was clear they worked seamlessly together as a team. If you’re looking for an estate agent who combines expertise with a genuinely old fashioned personal approach, I would highly recommend Rendells Totnes. Outstanding.

Rendells made everything so easy. Debbie was great from start to finish, always chasing up the necessary parties to bring it all together in less than 2 months.

Very friendly and also efficient office; nice people to deal with, and Debbie was great showing us a recent property...no hard sell, just warm, enthusiastic, and realistic about the property. If I was the vendor I'd be very happy with that balance.

We hired Clive at Rendell's to do a valuation on a property for us and we were extremely disappointed with the service provided. The valuation significantly undervalued my property both in its current condition and after the proposed refurbishment, yet when I asked for the evidence and methodology behind the figures, I was repeatedly told there were 'no comparable evidence' and he refused to explain how he got the figure, most likely because he plucked one out of thin air. I supplied detailed refurbishment plans, but the report only relied on two bedroom comparable in it's current condition when my property is a 3 bed and tried telling me he doesn't like the layout of it as a 3 bed so he would call it a 2 bed. It is simply described as a 3 bed on the title deeds but he just ignores that. When I asked how the figures had been reached, I was told to provide evidence it was wrong, rather then explaining to me how he reached the figure, which we are entitled to. Communication was less than poor. On more than one occasion he would hang up the phone on me to avoid me asking the questions he knows he hasn't got the answers to which he should have if he reached a figure. Most concerning of all, my lender who instructed the valuer to do the report, questioned the quality of the report and advised me to find a different valuer. He described the report 'as worst they have ever seen', 'no explanation of how he got his figures' 'massively undervalued' and 'a load of nonsense'. They told me they couldn't even rely on that report as it was not fit for purpose. We also got a second opinion from another qualified valuer of over 30 years and he valued the property nearly 33% more than what Clive valued it at. Based on this experience, I would advise anyone to avoid Clive at Rendells as the service he provided was simply unacceptable. He is rude, arrogant and very unprofessional. I expected a professional, evidence based valuation and a willingness to explain the reasoning behind it when reasonable questions were asked. You would be wasting your time and money to hire Clive.

Debbie at Rendells was such a lovely person to have as our contact while buying our first home. Her attention to detail while showing us around, fantasising with us about the potential of each room, providing advice about the buying process and what to look out for when choosing a solicitor, and then keeping us updated on the progress of our offer, right through to happily telling us the good news that it had been accepted, made the whole experience so much easier. We've felt like we've been in safe hands with her throughout the entire process, and we couldn't have asked for a better person to guide us. Thank you, Debbie!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. It means a great deal to all of us. I'm absolutely delighted to hear how positive your experience with Debbie has been. She genuinely loves helping people find their perfect home, and she'll be so pleased to know that her support, advice, and enthusiasm made such a difference during such an important milestone. Buying your first home is a huge moment, and we're so grateful you chose Rendells to be part of that journey. On behalf of Debbie and the whole team, thank you for your kind words, and we wish you every happiness in your new home. Warm regards, The Rendells Team

Very disappointing experience with Rendells Lettings in newton abbot. We expressed serious interest in a rental property in early May, provided documents immediately, travelled down from Oxfordshire to see if we could view the house, followed up multiple times by email and phone, and even visited the office in person (told them it was an 8 hour drive for us). After which we got not one call or email from the person who runs the lettings dept. Throughout the process we were repeatedly told that the landlord would “come back with further instructions,” but after more than a month we still received no proper update or clear answer. And also they told us that they get so many applications they just don’t care and will not respond to anything. They refuse to do online viewings (which all the other agencies are willing to do), don't respond to applications (after you have filled out given them your life on paper basically). Complete limbo. Meanwhile, the property remained advertised online the entire time! What made the experience frustrating was not necessarily losing out on the property, but the complete lack of communication and basic courtesy. Calls and emails went unanswered, timelines were unclear, and we were left unable to plan our own housing situation despite explaining that notice had to be given on our current tenancy. Other agencies we dealt with in Devon were far more professional, responsive, and respectful. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I cannot recommend Rendells Lettings, other agencies in Devon are far far better and I can’t recommend them enough, Rendells lettings in newton abbot was in 25 years of renting through agencies the very worst experience i have ever had, take my advice and don’t do it

I rarely leave negative reviews

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience with the Newton Abbot office was extremely disappointing. I first enquired about a rental property in early May and was told that viewings and next steps would be arranged. Over the following five weeks I provided documentation, followed up repeatedly by email, made phone calls, and even visited the office in person while travelling down from Oxfordshire. Throughout the process I was repeatedly told that the landlord would be contacted and that I would be updated once further instructions had been received. However, those updates never came. Despite multiple follow-ups, communication became increasingly poor and I was left chasing for basic information. The most frustrating part was the lack of responsiveness. As a prospective tenant, I needed to make decisions regarding my existing tenancy and repeatedly explained that timing was important. Instead, I was left in limbo for over a month without a clear answer. I understand that landlords make the final decision, and I would have respected a simple "yes" or "no". What I cannot understand is the lack of communication and professionalism shown throughout the process. Based on my experience, I would not recommend dealing with Rendells if you expect timely updates and clear communication. I have been in touch with 4 other agencies in Devon and they are all wonderful compared to this one, courteous, they respond to queries right away (even just to tell you that they have received your information) and genuinely try to be helpful and customer minded.

We had a complicated sale for a property inherited on Dartmoor where neither of us lived close to the property. Due to the complexity there was often a need for Rendell's to be on-site to let consultants in to assess various items. They were excellent in assisting with all of this and for facilitating smooth lines of communication between the buyers, sellers (us) and solicitors. Their hard work around the scenes, and in all aspects, means we would firmly recommend them as estate agents.

Very happy with their service. Ours was one of the very few houses that sold in our village during 2025. We felt that they gave us a realistic valuation on our property and good value for our money. The staff at Rendell’s were proactive and really helpful, particularly in the final stages when things became complicated - Debbie felt like she was by my side when it mattered most and I was so grateful to her. We’d definitely use them again.
