Super helpful and friendly staff. We have dealt with a few different people and the standard is the same across the board with them. Friendly and professional. Would definitely recommend.... Read more

College & County (Thame) handled the sale of my house very professionally from start to finish. Darren fully appreciates the housing market & produced a superb brochure & website listing capturing the distinctive features of the house. Darren conducted all viewings & personally handled every aspect of the sale right the way through to completion. He had his finger on the pulse throughout the conveyancing process & I was updated on each stage as it happened. If you are looking to sell your home, I have no hesitation in recommending College & County as a first class agent.... Read more

Have had a terrible experience unfortunately.
I am a first time buyer and found a flat I really liked. I worked with Darren who assisted with putting the offer in.
I had a solicitor and mortgage advisor in place ready to go when I found a property but I’ve found it hard to find a property. So I’ve been holding off paying the fee to both until I found a property- as once you pay the fee it starts a 6 months countdown until the service is no longer valid.
So when I found a flat I liked in thame with Darren I was excited. He told me the service charge was £1300 per year. So I put an offer in. Then he told me it was £2300 per year instead - after I put the offer in!
And he didn’t mention ground rent was due to double next year!
And the biggest issue was that he didn’t mentioned that the building had cladding that did not have the neccessary certificate to grant a mortgage from most lenders.
So after I had instructed a solicitor and paid my mortgage advisor, all these details came out- which meant I could not continue with the application.
Unfortunately I was duped by Darren.
I do not recommend this company or Darren as an estate agent.
He has left me significantly out of pocket as I now have to race to find somewhere else to put an offer in, before the time runs out with the solicitor and the mortgage advisor.
Truly disappointing service. I could be out nearly £500!... Read more

Darren was unbelievably helpful and supportive the whole way through and was always on call to answer our questions and provide the updates we were after. Nothing was too much trouble and we received a truly exemplary service from start to finish.
We would highly recommend college and county as a business, but would especially like to recommend our agent Darren Hunt to anyone that is looking to make the process of buying and selling a home easy.... Read more

In an era where many estate agents offer a generic service and are part of large franchises, Darren and College and County offered a truly personal service tailored to our needs. It was always easy to make contact with him, and his diligence in securing our sale was very much appreciated.... Read more

Although myself and my partner did not go through with the rental property after much deliberation, the rental team were extremely considerate and kind in helping us make our decision and easily provided us with viewings that suited us to view the property. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to rent.... Read more

Darren was fantastic from start to finish. He was very accommodating, made suggestions for improving the property, kept us informed and genuinely seemed to have our best interests at heart. Much better than another agent we dealt with in the town and would massively recommend using Darren and College and County to anyone looking for an agent in Thame... Read more

College & County were exceptional in supporting our house sale and in-what turned into a hugely complex and time consuming sale. Darren was amazing, he went above and beyond to help support a hugely challenging sale posed by a very difficult management company and needy buyer. Supporting the solicitors and nurturing the buyer to completion. Needing the patience of a saint like it was for us exchanging 48hrs before completion! We would recommend Darren everyday for a house sale and hope for everyone it is not as complex and stressful as ours turned into! Great work and college & county should be proud of Darren’s efforts, approach and industry knowledge. Second to none in our opinion and we were pushed for 7mths to the wire and could not have done it without Darren.... Read more

If it wasn't for Darren at C&C I do not think our sale would have gone through. Lengthy chains, add stress and time, but Darren's patience helped us through it. If I had my time again, I would have sold through C&C as well as purchased.... Read more
