GoogleDan at David Ball was the main agent I dealt with. From the property viewing at the beginning of the process all the way through to completion, he was there helping me navigate and answer questions. I felt like we were a team in driving the sale and he was always contactable or returned a call when I needed some help. Really great service and I would use if we ever decide to sell as well. Thanks Dan!

GoogleDavid Ball helped us when we were new to Newquay. Dan is a very friendly and smart guy. And Camilla? (Sorry if I got the name wrong, the girl who sits 2 desks in front of Dan) really helped us out when asked. Camilla should get a pay rise.

GoogleSo pleased to have finally moved into my dream home after several disappointing experiences with other agencies.
Thanks to Marcus for making the process run smoothly, from the 1st viewing within a couple of hours of being advertised to the final follow up call after handover. His calm, patient & reassuring manner were much appreciated.

GoogleMarcus guided us through the whole process superbly. Even the most inane questions (i asked) were answered with professionalism. Care was taken throughout the entire purchase, which was made 'painless'.
When advice was sort it was offered independently, and speedily.
He and the team at CG Fry were fantastic, and very approachable even after the keys were handed over.
I cannot recommend them strongly enough.PositiveProfessionalism

GoogleHaving recently purchased a new C G Fry home through DBA I would have no hesitation in recommending Marcus Shelton at the DB Nansledan Sales Office. Throughout the process Marcus was very professional, efficient, helpful and nothing appeared too much trouble particularly whilst I deliberated over my choices for work tops, tiles and carpets

GoogleI’ve been reading a lot about them and hearing a lot about them. Same stories over and over.
My personal experience is they didn’t return a deposit that should have been returned.
I’ve heard two more friends have the same. One other friend did some work for them and then they never paid. Not a professional / honest company.
I have since used another local estate agent and had a much better service.

Hi Victoria, thank you for leaving your review.
As you can see from the high majority of our reviews we care deeply about our customer service and pride ourselves on professionalism and honesty. Any deposits in regards to lettings are registered with The Tenancy Deposit Scheme, who provide a free tribunal service allowing tenants to dispute any amount we have not returned. This makes it not possible for us to withhold any deposit without good fair reason.
We have been in business for 30 years this year and have incredibly strong working relationships with other local businesses and sole traders within the town, if you would please get the friend to contact me as I do not believe we owe any contractor any money. However if we do owe for any work I will make sure it is paid. daniel@dba.estate
Kind regards,
Daniel Ball

GoogleFrom the idea of selling, preparing the property with all the required legislation, David Ball were with us every step of the way. We were notified of every viewing, cancellation, re-arrangement & feedback including advice on offers.
From Sale Agreed through to exchange & completion we were were fully informed.
The advice we were given, we consider to be above & beyond that of some national Agencies. Daniel has had some big shoes to fill, but with the help of Sheila & Staff, we’re sure they will continue to grow from strength to strength & we have no hesitation in recommending them.
