GoogleGreat service from Helen and the team this summer. They made selling our house pretty straightforward by being professional, friendly and genuinely responsive. They sorted out great marketing material for us very fast and Helen captured the spirit of the house very well. Thanks again for a smooth sale!

★★★★★ 5/5
GoogleReally great experience from start to finish. Their fees were a bit higher than some of the other agents we looked at, but they valued our house at £20,000 more than anyone else- and it still sold in 4 days! They also suggested a property that wasn’t even on our radar, based on what they’d learned about us. It ended up being our dream home, and because we achieved more on our sale than expected, we were actually able to buy it.
Communication was brilliant throughout. Victor or Kathryn were always available if we needed them, and on completion day they were absolute stars. Our seller’s solicitor was incredibly slow, but DC Lane were constantly chasing things up and keeping everything moving. They even looked after my partner and I in their offices while we waited, which was much appreciated after a very stressful morning. If you’re not sure which agent to use, I’d definitely recommend them. Victor and Kathryn were fantastic throughout. Thanks again! 😊

GoogleWell, where do I even begin describing our experience with DC Lane…?!
Before we even put our house on the market, we tentatively began viewing other properties and this is where we met Helen…we knew straight away that this is the woman we wanted to sell our house!! Her passion, enthusiasm and professionalism were clear and we asked her to come and value our house the very next day.
In less than a week, Helen had completed the valuation, organised the photos for the advert and put our house on the market and within 24 of it going live, she found us a buyer. We also decided to buy our new property through DC Lane as Helen was able to find us one straight away that had absolutely everything we were looking for.
Buying and selling houses is never without its complications but Helen (and the whole team at DC Lane) could not have worked harder throughout the entire process. Communication was outstanding and when I say nothing was ever too much trouble, I really mean it. Helen and the team really do go above and beyond at every level.
We have now completed our sale and purchase and are settled in our new home but should we ever find ourselves in the market again, we would not hesitate to use DC Lane. Highly recommend - there is no better agent in Plymouth!

GoogleI cannot recommend Helen and DC Lane enough. We were moving abroad and had a strict timeline to adhere to. Helen listened and found us the perfect buyer on the first day of going live and on the first viewing.
She kept us updated throughout, communicated well with all parties, chased when needed and was quite simply a superstar from start to finish!
Needless to say, our strict timeline was well and truly kept and we are now happily relocated abroad.

GoogleCannot fault the service we received when we sold our property and purchased our new home through DC Lane. Helen was amazing from start to finish. She sold our house with 24 hours and helped us find our forever home. Also need to give a big shout out to Oscar who chased solicitors relentlessly. We’re not planning on moving again for a long time but if we were to do so we would only use DC Lane.

GoogleWe have been landlords in Plymouth for more than 30 years but its our time to get out of this market. I first dealt with Helen Somauroo from DC Lane last year 2024 when we put a Peverell house on the market. I liked her enthusiasm and she was the only agent of the three we contacted who actually pointed out that the house we were intending to sell was three double bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The house went live and we received two offers for the full asking price on the first day. Helen and her team were constantly on our case, in our corner, throughout the sale process, liaising with the two conveyancing teams involved with the sale. Needless to say the sale progressed smoothly all within ten weeks. We put a second Peverell house on the market in July 2025. It took ten days for an acceptable offer to be presented (Within 1% of their valuation) and ten weeks from offer to completion.
Helen and her team have been right on the mark at every turn. I would have no hesitation recommending DC Lane. Over the past 55 years I have dealt with many many agents having bought and sold over thirty properties locally both personal and BTL.

★★★★★ 5/5
GoogleI cannot recommend DC Lane highly enough.
What should have been a straightforward sale and purchase turned into a long and often challenging process, with chain collapses, legal complications, delays and more than a few stressful moments along the way. Throughout it all, Helen was simply outstanding.
Her enthusiasm, positivity and determination never wavered, even when things became difficult. At several points it felt as though the process might grind to a halt, but Helen’s perseverance and proactive approach kept everything moving forward. She was always chasing progress, keeping me updated, managing expectations and, most importantly, finding solutions rather than focusing on problems.
What impressed me most was that Helen genuinely cared about getting the right outcome. She was always available to offer reassurance, advice and support when it was needed most, and her belief that we would eventually get there never faltered, even when mine occasionally did!
The wider team at DC Lane were also fantastic throughout, always professional, responsive and helpful. It was clear that everyone was working hard behind the scenes to support the process and provide a first-class service.
Buying and selling property can be incredibly stressful, but having Helen and the team at DC Lane in your corner makes a huge difference. I am genuinely grateful for everything they did to help get my move over the line and would recommend them without hesitation.
Thank you, Helen and everyone at DC Lane.

GoogleDC Lane has provided an excellent management service for my rental property, especially during a recent change in tenancy.
The smooth and swift turnaround, together with the efficient manner in which they have taken care of related issues, has made my experience of the process stress-free, which is much appreciated!

I can wholeheartedly recommend DC Lane to others seeking property management.

GoogleWe used DC Lane to sell our property and we also purchased a property with them.
Firstly, we needed to get on the market fast to get the house we wanted, within days a photographer had been and taken the most beautiful pictures of our home. Viewings were great of both our house and the house we viewed with DC Lane.
Once we were all in a position to offer in the chain, Helen did some amazing negotiations to make sure everything went through for everyone.
During the sales chain, Helen did lots of chasing which was needed as the top of the chain was a flat and the management company needed a lot of pushing.
We got things over the line and have now moved into our house.
The whole team at DC Lane were always friendly and helpful, but Helen really is fantastic and was communicative all the way through!
Thank you so much, would highly recommend and would of course use you again if we ever put ourselves through it again!!
Thanks

GoogleDC Lane provided us with an excellent service in selling our house. We found a property that we wanted to buy and so needed to get our house on the market quickly. Helen organised this within a couple of days with excellent photographs and marketing. Sadly we were badly let down by a time-waster but Helen went above and beyond to try and get them to act, even making calls on her days off and carrying out a number of visits. When our sale fell through Helen was straight on it, finding us a new buyer, and we're happy to say the sale went through in record time. We can't thank Helen enough, she is an absolute dynamo. The team are all very professional and friendly and we'd definitely recommend.

GoogleI couldn’t be happier with the service that I received from Helen and her team. She sold my house within 5 days and 8 weeks later we’ve just exchanged. Helen was an excellent communicator and always kept me updated at each stage of the sale. I’m still in shock by how straightforward it all was. If you’re thinking of selling your property choose DC Lane, you will not regret it!

GoogleDC Lane were absolutely fantastic when I sold my flat through them. Helen in particular was always on the ball and I felt very confident from the get go that I'd made the right decision to sell through them. While the process took a little longer than anticipated (due to solicitors) Helen was always on the case helping to keep things moving.
Highly recommend.

A pleasure to work with them. Thank you to Helen especially, with whom we have had the most contact.

GoogleNot usually one to leave a review but very disappointed with DC Lane, Plymouth. Partner and I took time out of work to attend a viewing at a time proposed by them to fit in with their schedule, only for them to not show up. The property also appeared to be in considerably worse condition than was shown on the website. We received a call 30 minutes after the scheduled viewing time asking if we were running behind? (Presumably in the hope that we were also late, not that we had left). When explaining that we had just left because no one showed up they offered an apology and asked if we would reschedule. Definitely not the award winning services claimed nor do I think its a good idea to follow up a no-show with a feedback form asking how our viewing went.

GoogleHelen was recommended to our family for her strength, professionalism & for her attention to detail, she certainly left "no stone unturned" and gave so much of her time ensuring all finally went to plan. The property sold within 24 hrs with Helen, but that was the easy bit!
Highly recommended to all, especially if you require a more personal service and above all need her expertise & experience. Super star Helen! ⭐️

GoogleAttention potential tenants! Do not ever rent anything from Dc Lane plymouth
Dance Collier and his staff have no respect for tenants only doing the landlord interest
The apartment was delivered at the beginning filthy and with plenty of structural faults
The faults were causing leaking on other apartments
The heating in the bathrooms was not working it took me months to have it fixed as the landlord would ignore the problem and Dc lane would not do anything to send over a plumber for months
I also had a mice invasion in the autumn time and I had to hire my own pest control because the landlord would refuse to pay for it amd Dc lane didn't intervene
I had constant visitations in my apartment from Dan collier his staff and landlord entering the apartment when I was not there because the neighbours were reporting water leaks and they were blindly chasing the origin of it
Absolutely the worst agency and tenancy I ever had in my life

Hi Olga -
Although we know this is not your real name we are happy to reply as we absolutely know which property is being discussed.
We are very sorry you are unhappy with the property and the service - Actually it is a beautiful 3 bedroom modern executive apartment in one of the most sought after developments in Plymouth. Yes there have been a number of maintenance issues, including that mice that had found there way in to the building in a number of flats - this was dealt with by the block management company, the towel radiators were repaired by our plumber after the first engineer couldn't find a problem and there has been a leak reported by the downstairs neighbour. We have sent you evidence of the leak downstairs and been very careful not to enter the property without your permission. We absolutely would prefer not to have to inconvenience you but where property management matters need to be addressed, it is unavoidable in order to resolve the issue and avoid undue and escalating damage to this or the neighbours property.
The irony isn't lost on us that most complaints are about not addressing property issues, and this one is about us doing exactly that!
That said, please do accept our sincere apologies that you have become so upset by the need for us to attend 4 times during your tenancy - we do hope that we can quickly identify the leak issue and have it resolved with the minimum of future disruption to yourself.
