Hi Helly, Thank you for your lovely review. We’re so pleased you enjoyed the house and the location, being close to the shops always makes life easier, especially when the snack cupboard mysteriously empties itself on holiday! We hope you had a fantastic week away and would love to welcome you back again soon. Kind Regards, Harris & Co

Lovely place, clean and quite spacious. Ideal for family or group of friends as it can accommodate up to 14 pax. Location is also great as it’s near the touristy spots. Will definitely book again. 😎😊 …

Hi Rafael, Thank you so much for the amazing review! We’re so happy you enjoyed the space and found it perfect for your group. We do love how the property gives everyone enough room to spread out a little, especially before the arguments over who gets the best bedroom start πŸ˜„ Great to hear the location worked well for exploring all the local tourist spots too. We’d absolutely love to host you again soon, the kettle will be ready and waiting! Kind Regards Harris & Co

I’m not sure how they’ve had my review removed concerning 10 swan street. I lived there for 18 months, the bedroom ceiling was thick with black, dripping wet mould. I left the house to which they kept my deposit despite the circumstances they had me living in. I can now see its up for sale with pictures showing they’ve attempted to paint over the mould which you can still see. Jackie had a terrible attitude and any issues with the property they werent interested in.

We are sorry to read that you feel dissatisfied with your experience. We take all reports of maintenance concerns seriously and always aim to work with tenants and landlords to resolve issues raised during a tenancy. As a regulated agency, we are unable to discuss specific details relating to deposits or tenancy matters publicly. However, deposit deductions are handled in accordance with the tenancy agreement and, where applicable, through the relevant tenancy deposit protection scheme procedures. We also strongly dispute the suggestion that concerns raised were ignored. Records show communication was maintained throughout the tenancy and appropriate actions were taken where issues were reported to us. We appreciate all feedback and are sorry that you remain unhappy with your experience.

Awful money grabbers Do not use these people to rent They will try and keep your deposit for no good reason. I left the house in a perfectly good condition (confirmed by the landlord) The review they left of the house was awful made out I’d left it in a tip. Also want to charge me a days rent for handing the keys back early when my tenancy ended on Easter Sunday so there was no way I could give the keys back. Even after I gave 6 weeks notice instead of 4. They were closed on the Sunday as it was a bank holiday and subsequently would have been closed on the Monday too. Awful awful people avoid at all costs!!!!!

Carrie Β· 6 May 2026 Β· Richard James Irthlingborough

Agent replied Β· 6 June 2026

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with your experience and would like to take the opportunity to clarify the situation. With regard to the deposit, all deductions proposed are based on the independent check-out report and supporting evidence, including photographs and the inventory prepared at the start of the tenancy. These reports are carried out by third-party clerks to ensure impartiality. Where there is any disagreement, the matter can be referred to the relevant tenancy deposit scheme for independent adjudication, which we fully support. In relation to the condition of the property, we note your comments; however, our assessment must rely on the documented inventory and check-out process rather than informal confirmation. This ensures consistency and fairness to all parties. Regarding the return of keys, tenancy agreements require that keys are returned on or before the last day of the tenancy. Where this falls on a non-working day, tenants are expected to make prior arrangements with the office to facilitate return of the keys or use our post-box if the office is closed. In the absence of such arrangements, charges may apply in line with the terms of the tenancy agreement. These charges are not intended to be punitive but reflect continued possession and associated costs. We also acknowledge that you provided more than the minimum required notice, which we appreciate. However, notice periods and end-of-tenancy procedures are separate matters and are applied in accordance with the tenancy agreement. We are committed to acting fairly and transparently at all times and always take clients instruction.

I would have no hesitation in recommending this estate agent. Peter Grout Smith from the Poundbury office has been professional and helpful throughout the sale of my mother’s apartment nursing the long chain through to exchange and we complete this week. His communication has been excellent.

I couldn’t be happier with the service I got from DDM. As a developer, I’ve dealt with quite a few agencies, and these guys really stand out. They were on top of everything from start to finish always chasing things up, keeping the process moving, and pushing to get the deal over the line as quickly as possible. It made a big difference having that level of support. What I appreciated most was how fair they were throughout. They handled things properly for both me as the seller and the buyer, which you don’t always see. It felt balanced and honest the whole way through. Communication was great, always clear and straightforward, and I always knew where things stood. Overall, just a really solid, professional service. Would definitely recommend DDM. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
