GoogleI can not recommend John Lake highly enough. We have today completed on a very complex move which had lots of hurdles along the way. All of the staff at John Lake have gone above and beyond at all stages. If you want an estate agent who really cares about their clients, then this is the agent to use. I dread to think the hours they work as we have had phone calls outside of office hours to ensure we receive timely information and on several occasions they have delivered paperwork to us at home to save us having to go into the office. They have been so supportive and no query is too big or small for them. The staff are always friendly and give a personal service taking the time to get to know their clients. Thank you John Lake for everything you have done for us.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleWould highly recommend John Lake Estate agents. I have been very impressed with them. They have made selling our family home as stress free as possible. Everyone I spoke with was kind, friendly and helpful. They kept us informed at every step, and guided us through the process. We were taken care of really well and I feel we got the best service. Estate agents generally get a bad name but I can honestly say John Lake is a class act and I am very glad we used them.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleWe have used John Lake Estate Agents many times over the last 15 years and we have always found them to be extremely professional. We have bought and sold with them on several occasions and John and his team have been friendly, helpful and have always been by our side at this very stressful time. We have found them to be very honest and the values that they have given us to be very realistic, not like some Agents. We have recommended them to anyone who is looking for an Agent and would definitely never use any other Agent in the bay. Thanks Cherrie C

GoogleRecently purchased through John Lake and can honestly say it was the best estate agency experience we have had in over 30 years of buying and selling. Paul was particularly good, always keeping us up to date and emailing/calling often out of hours. It was a tricky purchase with many legal hiccups, but Paul's persistence and humour were appreciated throughout. This is a company which understands customer service and goes way above and beyond the norm. Thank you to the whole team.

GoogleAs a professional landlord I have dealt with many of the local estate agents over the years. In my experience, the service and customer care offered by John Lake Estate Agents are second to none. I canβt praise them enough for a professional and friendly service they provided in what proved to be quite complicated sale process and bring it to a successful conclusion. Thank you all.

GoogleI moved to John Lake Estate Agents from another Estate Agents after being disappointed in the interest that I was getting in my property. As soon as I moved to them, I immediately got more viewings!!!.
Whilst Brexit and COVID did effect the speed of selling my property, at every stage when the housing market was open I got lots of viewings and soon agreed a sale. I wish I had chosen John Lakeβs initially!!.
I think being a long standing and local estate agent works in their favour and many local residents trust them more than a national firm with their house moving experience.
All the members of staff that I dealt with were professional, helpful and did their very best to help me with my queries. Their communication was always very prompt which was particularly helpful when my buyers had a few issue with the sale of their own property. Helen and Suzanne in particular were excellent at chasing clients in the chain / relevant solicitors in order to move the sale along to exchange of contracts.
Thank you very much.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GooglePaul at John Lake helped us purchase a lovely new house which was a big move from Wimbledon to Devon. Paul, and everyone at John Lake were excellent in every respect. Professional, honest, quick to respond and hugely knowledgeable and helpful to us as we had very limited awareness of the area etc. They helped keep the purchase smooth and hassle free. Resolved any small inevitable issues along the way in a very calm and sensible way and overall provided a first class service to us as buyers. It is also really nice to note that post purchase they have kept in touch and continue to offer helpful tips and advice re getting us set up and established in the area. I highly recommend John Lake estate agents.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

GoogleWe have been exceptionally pleased with the way in which the team at John Lake Estate Agents have dealt with the sale of our property in Torquay. The advice given to us at the onset was invaluable. Paul negotiated our sale with the utmost professionalism, often requiring to take calls from our buyers, who are resident in the US late into the evening and in his own time. I cannot thank the Team and Paul in particular, enough for his assiduous attention to detail.

GooglePaul at John Lake was fantastic. Wasnβt our estate agent directly but we bought from him. The professionalism and high level of added detail was clear throughout. Itβs the personal element that goes a long way and keeping to their word. We were kept in mind even before we had found a purchase and we were the first people to know about the property coming on the market.
Highly recommend, thank you againPositiveQuality
