Farmer & Dyer Caversham reviews

We had such a great experience with this estate agent and I honestly can’t recommend them highly enough. Victoria was my main point of contact and she was brilliant from start to finish. She was warm, patient, and really understanding of my stress (which definitely showed at times!). No matter what was going on, she stayed 100% professional, calm, and reassuring. Every call was answered quickly, and she always chased things down until we had proper answers, no small task given the number of solicitors involved across our sale and two purchases. I always felt like she genuinely cared and was on our side throughout. Simon and Damien were also fantastic! Supportive, responsive, and just great to deal with. Buying and selling can be such a stressful process, but this team made a real difference. I’d absolutely recommend them and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. Heidi

I would highly recommend Farmer and Dyer to any family and friends looking to sell or buy. When getting our house valued Tom was honest and reasonable about the valuation and tactics we could take to sell our property. We also took the opportunity to view some houses with F&D and other local agents to see if we liked their style of showing around prospective buyers. F&D stood out as they were not pushy and felt honest and genuine about the properties. Our house did not sell within the first two weeks on the market, as the house had a feature clearly stated on the floor plans that put off many prospective buyers on viewing. Due to needing a quick-ish sale because to life circumstances but also needing a set amount for the house, I discussed tactics with Simon. Simon was a great help during this period. Whilst he made it clear he would follow what we wanted for selling the property, he was honest and gave advice based on experience. We sold the property quickly afterwards. On buying a property F&D was quick in giving us details of properties coming on the market meeting our needs. When biding our offers felt like they were prioritised. Whilst the property we eventually bought wasn't through F&D, we felt very supported and cared for during this process. Simon was very prompt in responding regarding queries within our chain. And, despite the typical delays due to solicitors I felt the sale of my house went as smooth as it could have done.

We recently purchased a house in Reading and we cannot praise Victoria Farmer and Simon Brooks at Farmer and Dyer enough for their exceptional service. From the very beginning, Victoria and Simon were incredibly prompt in their responses and provided quick support whenever we had questions or needed assistance. What truly stood out was the personal feeling they brought to the entire process. It felt like they genuinely cared about our needs, and their dedication made a significant difference. They went above and beyond, especially with their flexibility when we needed some survey and additional viewings, to ensure everything went smoothly. Their communication and support were consistently personal and reassuring. We highly recommend Farmer and Dyer to anyone looking for reliable and personable estate agents. A big thank you for making our home-buying experience a positive one!

We decided to list our property with Farmer & Dyer having successfully bought through them in the past. They also had multiple properties we were interested in viewing, more so than any other local agent, so we hoped we could sell and buy through them to keep the chain nice and tidy. Sure enough, that’s exactly what happened! Simon Brooks was superb from start to finish, even giving us first refusal to a property which hadn’t been formally listed yet. When we then made an offer on said property, the process was smooth and efficient with him and Victoria at the helm. We were so impressed by the whole team, especially the fact that everyone in the sales team (including Mr Farmer and Mr Dyer) came out to see our property once we decided to list it. They go above and beyond; they were organised, maintained excellent communication throughout, even helped me through a few wobbles along the way! We can’t recommend F&D highly enough and are so grateful they’ve found us two wonderful homes. Thank you, team F&D!!!

I recently purchased a house through F & D Property Agency and had an excellent experience. Unlike many larger chain agencies, F & D stands out for their personalized service and attention to detail. They were extremely informative and helpful throughout the process, always available to answer my questions and guide me with useful insights. A special thank you to Victoria for her warm and friendly attitude, she truly made the experience stress-free and pleasant. Their local knowledge made a big difference, and I felt well-supported from start to finish. Highly recommend F & D for anyone looking for a reliable and client-focused property agency!

A fantastic local estate agents who are a credit to Caversham. We dealt with F&D for both the sale and purchase of our properties and I cant thank them enough for all there help in making what is a very stressful experience as pain free as it can be. We mainly dealt with Simon who was easy to get along with, always quick to reply to queries and provide updates (and deserves a medal for putting up with me for the past few months). Its a real collective effort and I think we dealt with every member of the F&D team over the last 6 months, if someone isnt around then there is always another person on hand (and up to speed with the latest developments) to ensure everything keeps progressing in a timely manner. Highly recommend to anyone to use them. Thanks again, Sam & Hannah

I can't recommend Farmer & Dyer highly enough! As a first-time seller, I was initially nervous about the process, but Victoria made everything incredibly smooth and stress-free. Her diligence, professionalism, and constant availability made all the difference. She was always on hand to answer my questions, provide updates, and offer expert guidance every step of the way. Victoria went above and beyond to ensure the sale progressed efficiently, and her friendly, reassuring approach made what could have been a daunting experience feel effortless. Thanks to her hard work and dedication, the whole process was seamless from start to finish. If you're looking for an estate agent who truly cares and delivers exceptional service, look no further than Victoria and the team.

Farmer & Dyer were recommended to us as an agency that would not only find us a buyer but, much more importantly, one that would get us through closing the sale. We could not have done this without their help. Victoria and Damian were professional, personable and helpful at all times. We would recommend Farmer & Dyer without hesitation.

Just completed on a house with my partner. Great experience from start to finish with a big thanks to Simon for orchestrating the process. He made sure that communication was smooth between both parties and clearly had our best interests at heart despite acting on behalf of the vendor which was much appreciated. Would most definitely use the services of Farmer & Dyer again as a result!

We had a very good experience buying from vendors using Farmer & Dyer. The team were always helpful and in particular Victoria went above and beyond to not only help us find our forever home, but also gave us great recommendations on childcare and schools in the local area.

A most impressive team. Provided clear and concise information. Simon was a pleasure to work with and solved any issues that came his way. We do not live in England so required more help than normal.

I wouldn’t want to buy or sell a house in Reading through any body else. Hands down the best decision we made was to use F&D. They are honest approachable and do exactly as they say they will do without the usual excuses. Would whole heartedly recommend them to anyone thinking of selling/buying. Thanks again to the team, especially Damian.

We used Farmer & Dyer to rent out a family house. As we had never done this before we found the information, advice and support from Nadine and the team invaluable. The team are extremely responsive and flexible. We had great trade recommendations too. We got a tenant within two days which was great too. Now we are in the role of landlords, the team have taken on dealing with the early niggles with no stress to us. I am pleased with the service and from what we’ve experienced so far I would definitely recommend.

Though Farmer & Dyer, I have just successfully bought my first home . They are really professional especially Victoria Farmer. She is very nice and friendly. She even helped me to find a great mortgage adviser , I tried 3 times with other mortgage adviser but didn't let me get a mortgage until the one Victoria introduced me. The service is great and no words to explain so lucky I have to find them . I would like to recommend anyone for their best service .Thank you so much Victor for great help to support me to get the home I like it very much.

I am so grateful to Victoria from F&D for helping me to buy our dream home. We was a first-time buyer and had a lot of questions and concerns, but mostly we couldn't find the property we liked. Victoria is very knowledgeable about the local market. We asked for a viewing of a house that wasn't what we thought it would be. And while chatting about what we want/need she picked on a property that wasn't even on the site yet. And a few blocks away from there we lived. It was the perfect house in a perfect location, and we couldn't be happier! The entire process was super quick and frictionless, all our questions were answered, we new exactly what is going to happen and when. We were the last link in the 3 houses chain (also taken care by F&D btw), so there were no surprises. I highly recommend Farmer & Dyer to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. They are a true professional and I am so grateful for their help.

We found that the staff at Farmer and Dyer were fabulous. Having worked as an estate agent when I was a young man and also in the new homes industry and central London and the home counties. The staff at Farmer and Dyer, they really are a cracking team. Thanks to Damian, Linda, & Tom. Also the letting team who dealt with my very first viewing and the secretarial staff and other letting staff who are great.

We recently bought our house via Farmer & Dyer and only have good things to say about them. They were very supportive throughout, getting the balance right between representing their client (the seller), but also being fair to us as the buyers. The exchange and completion was very stressful in the run up to the end of March and the stamp duty change, and F&D did what they could to ensure everything went through in time (which it did!). Special shout out to Victoria, Simon and Damian, who were all excellent throughout.
