GoogleWe were impressed by DB Estates from the outset and cannot fault any of the individual team members. Unfortunately, a breakdown in communications at a crucial point knocked our confidence, but this was addressed rapidly and the final stages of a lengthy sales process were handled with great diligence. Special thanks to Donna for getting things back on track and being such a pleasure to liaise with.

GoogleWe would like to say a big thanks to the team at David Britton for selling our house recently, from the moment we moved the sale to them we felt confident they would get the job done…and they did. Great communication, enthusiasm and good humour along with a hunger to get the best sale for us, raising a glass of Wainwright Gold to Travis and Ross.

GoogleDavid Britton Estates have marketed many homes for me over the years, The first sold within a week. The second sold within a week. The third house the same , I have found them all to be fantastic and have really looked after me , making sure I don’t have sleepless nights answering all my concerns,
The team from David Britton Helen , Donna , Brendon ,lisa and all the lady’s in the team and David himself have always gone up and beyond them selves to help and make the sale process as smoothly as possible ,
They were helpful professional and I would recommend them to anyone thinking of selling. Thank you all David britton team 🥰

GoogleThe lady valuer from David Britton valued our property in Askham , Cumbria ( after going away to consult) at £450k, we eventually achieved £555,000 with another agent ….. unbelievable
I appreciate this is two years ago but it is something than still rankles with us ….. and I have just read a similar review so thought I would add my opinion , what relevance is the timescale ??
And the fact that David Britton have the audacity to contradict me makes me more confident that I wouldn’t use them again!!

2 years after you sold you leave a negative review? In the most price crazy market that Cumbria had ever seen, with price fluctuations weekly and properties going into bidding wars everyday for hundreds of thousands over asking price. but you didn’t put this remark then but now, how strange!
★★★★★ 1/5
GoogleWorst estate agents I’ve dealt with. Put me up in bid wars a few months ago for which I lost out (this bit I believe is fair enough). The house then came back on the market last month. They told me initially it had “fallen through due to personal circumstances” only for me to find out from the new prospective buyer the sale has actually gone through, I then called up and confirmed this. They continued to offer a chance to view. Turns out they were just using my interest in buying a first home to push their buyer to move faster. Complete waste of our time.
*Updated since the owners response below:
The reason I’m leaving this review is simply because we were lied to, smoke and mirror sales tactics unfortunately didn’t go unseen this time. The owner has clearly taken it personally rather than feeding it back to their team. All above statements are based on fact and if they would like to reach out so I can clarify anything I’d welcome it.

It always feels bad being the underbidder and sometimes getting a nod from the agent that a property could come back to the market is good estate agency and when requested by our vendor, essential. This property HAD NOT gone through but was on the edge of breakdown.
If the agent didn’t even inform you I am sure the review would be the same.
I am sure you won’t require us in the future, so happy house hunting and we really hope you find something soon. Nothing like your first home but very easy for too much emotion to cloud your understanding of the situation.

GoogleDavid Britton Estates have marketed 3 houses for us. The first sold within a week. The second sold within a week. The third house was a listed building and frankly I was worried about selling it and feeling very negative.
The team from David Britton were brilliant and David himself came along and talked us through it and it was sold in a matter of weeks!
They were helpful professional and I would recommend them to anyone thinking of selling. Thank you team Britton.

GoogleThe knowledge the team has on selling our property in cumbria was excellent. The sale strategy was perfect and we sold the property very quickly. The only area we did get a little bit frustrated was initial feedback after a viewing which was in our view a bit delayed but maybe we were too impatient! I would definitely recommend them …

Mr Dougherty, firstly I completely agree with your frustration with this situation. However, your anger with regards the situation is misplaced. It is not an option or grey area with reporting offers to sellers, it isn’t “frowned upon” it … More

FacebookWe've used a number of estate agents over the years but feel that David Britton Estates gave us better service than anyone else. Brendan and his team were friendly and helpful, responsive and professional. They helped us to sell our property quickly, and then supported the conveyancing process to completion. We can't recommend them highly enough.

FacebookFrom start to finish we were well looked after by David and his staff and cannot recommend them highly enough. Our house was sold the first morning by Donna.
David - as you said from the outset you wanted to complete our story and you certainly achieved that. The video's that you do are so well done and it is no wonder you win awards as a company for what you do.
Donna - Thank you so much for getting us the price that you did. You could sell ice to Eskimos of that we have no doubt.
Elizabeth - Thank you for looking after us throughout the after sale process. Not an easy ride but thanks to your continued help we got there in the end.
Many thanks. Jane and Len

GoogleThey came on Wednesday to do a valuation.
So unprofessional the guy turned up in scruffy jeans was in my house for tens minutes asked very few questions and offered very little back about the service they offer .
PFK were fantastic spent a good hour taking notes about the house and telling and asking questions.
So very poor if I could give zero stars I would.

Good morning Mr Smith
Thank you for your feedback as even negative feedback helps us improve.
The valuer in question is usually very well received and trusted, it is regretful that this was not the impression received on Wednesday.
I will investigate this and find out what happened at your appointment.
This is not a what I expect at my agency and can only apologise if one of my team were performing below standard that day.
Good luck with your sale and if you ever need help in the future please come back direct to me and I will assist in any way possible.
Kindest regards

GoogleI can highly recommend David Britton Estates having sold 2 properties through them. Both times David and his staff were professional, friendly and the regular communication keeping us up to date was excellent. Their fantastic marketing meant potential buyers saw the properties exactly as they were, ensuring the correct clients came to viewings and we achieved what we wanted in a short amount of time.

★★★★★ 1/5
GoogleFrom being unable to erect a For Sale board in a timely and secure manner; incorrectly locating our property on the online map; failing to respond to telephone calls and e-mails asking for advice; posting that the EPC certificate had not been provided (it had); broken promises regarding communication with us; adverse publicity in the press using none of the updated photographs we had provided...In short, at no stage did we have the impression that David Britton Estates were doing any work on our behalf. They were disinterested and incompetent throughout. After 5 months, and one viewing, we had had enough. A phone call from Mr Britton to acknowledge this abject lack of professionalism and to apologise for it was appreciated, but frankly, too little too late.

GoogleFrom start to finish, including viewings of properties through to exchange of contracts, David Britton Estates was completely professional and most importantly, incredibly friendly. Having driven over 350 miles to view properties, it was so welcoming to be greeted by such a friendly and knowledgeable agent. Following successfully placing an offer on a property, the after sales was exceptional. We were kept informed of all updates throughout the entire process. We feel they went above and beyond as we were also given advice on local schools for enrolment of our children following relocation.
In summary, we feel so fortunate to have purchased our new home through David Britton Estates and would highly recommend them.
