5 years on and I used Mark again to find a tenant and he and the team delivered again! They were brilliant again and found me yet another fantastic tenant! I cannot recommend this team enough. Mark has exceptionally good judgment and people skills and he seems to always under promise and over deliver. He is incredibly easy to work with, respectful of both landlords and tenants, listens to your needs, then goes out and finds super tenants. They whole team pulled together to make it happen and I cannot thank them enough.
This is another review I wrote 5 years ago and it is still standing:
I was in fact not planning on ever using David Evans as I find their shop window displays a bit old fashioned, but when I invited Mark along to get a third quote when I was having my house valued, he made me change my mind as he seemed such a nice and decent person. So when I decided to let the house instead of selling it, he was my first choice. Even though his rental price suggestion wasn't the highest, my priority is to have long term trouble free tenants, so I went with him. He listened carefully to my brief and took his time to find the right tenant and came up trumps. He found me a brilliant set of tenants! Mark is a thoroughly decent person who works as hard for you as he would for himself. He prioritises giving excellent service and building long term relationships with people, and that is fairly rare in this business. I have been buying, selling and letting for 25 years now and Mark is the best person in the business I have ever dealt with. Thoroughly trustworthy and highly recommended!... Read more

Buying a property with David Evans has been a wonderful experience. Mark Sallnow and his team are people centred in their approach, ensuring that the right property is found for your needs and connects to you in a personal way. From the start they have always been very happy to answer any requests and needs and helped me immensely in finding my first home. I will always be grateful and I cannot recommend them highly enough. They are old fashioned and courteous without any pressure on the buyer to do anything that isn't right for them and their circumstances. I shall be using them again in the future.... Read more

A 5 star rating because the services received was very efficient and I highly recommend this business.
We had a very difficult purchase but Mark was there at every step of the way assuring and reassuring us that everything will eventually fall in place. He never gave up on us and never got tired of assisting. He was very professional too in all our dealings.
His service was outstanding and he exceeded my expectations every time.

David Evans was the estate agent of our seller and our seller’s seller up the chain - Mark made the process of communication so easy, he was eager to keep us updated, endlessly positive and friendly, and really helped us keep up the momentum to get our purchase through before our mortgage offer ended.

My partner and I couldn't recommend David Evans estate agents enough. We were first time buyers and were new to the process of buying a property. We had been looking for five months in north London with no joy and had found the whole experience of viewing properties highly stressful, it felt impersonal with other estate agents, often being treated like another number filing through a property with many questions unanswered and feeling like we were lost in the process.
We fell in love with a property on the market with David Evans and it was a totally different experience. The agent (Mark) was really freindly, highly knowledgeable and was a reassuring presence throughout the entire presence. Mark was more than happy for us to arrange return visits (with parents) and was very fast at getting back to us at every step of the process. No question was off limits or too many and we were really grateful for his patience and friendliness at all times.
Today we picked up the keys and are really thrilled and excited. We would definitely recommend their services to friends and family or anyone looing to buy in the area.... Read more

Mark helped us to both sell our house and buy our new one. He advised us on a reasonable selling point and thus found the right buyers, while simultaneously helping us offer the correct figure for the new house. He was really understanding of our time constraints and found the appropriate words at the right time to help things move along as smoothly as possible, despite numerous hurdles (including a long renovation, surveys, mortgages delays and financial situation changes, title problems, multiple beneficiaries in a probate sale, and numerous conveyancing issues in the chain). His experience, patience and natural diplomatic powers were essential. His care and kindness for everyone involved second to none. He was an exceptional support during the generally long and challenging process of chain house sales and I will definitely recommend him and use David Evans in the future. Thank you Mark... Read more

Mark at David Evans Estate Agents in Plumstead sold my house and also dealt with the purchase of my flat in 2018. He was superb then in every aspect; I felt that Mark looked after my best interests throughout every stage of the process, getting really excellent outcomes in terms of asking price and dealing with solicitors, buyers and management companies almost daily. So last year, when I decided to relocate, I asked Mark to handle the sale of my flat in London. He was, again, awesome; at all times professional, highly knowledgeable, helpful and, it has to be said, full of good humour. The outcomes for my sale were, again, and in much more challenging times in terms of the housing market, the very best I could have hoped for; all due to Mark's going above and beyond with all parties concerned at every stage. My thanks to him and to the team at David Evans, Plumstead. You are the absolute best. Therese... Read more

There is a constant 5* rating and glowing theme to the reviews for a reason - I will attempt not to reiterate these points, though they are absolutely correct and accurate.
Mark genuinely helped me through one of the hardest periods of my life with compassion, professionalism, honest advice and ultimately was always there during the entire process, including my first prospective buyer pulling out last minute and probate.
Mark had met my late mother some 18 months to 2 years prior to our initial meeting and even on the phone call to arrange the valuation with myself, recalled my mother and details of the property, having given her considerably more time and respect, I believe, than other agents would potentially have.
This, along with my gut feeling that he would go above and beyond, which was subsequently proven, made my decision and recommendation to choose David Evans & Co an easy one.
Thank-you again Mark, Lesley, David and co.... Read more

We interviewed three real estate agents to sell our house and it was instantly clear that Mark was the man for the job: he came up with a plan to sell, ideas for cosmetic works, and got the property up on the David Evans website within days. At all points thereafter, Mark was there to offer advice, liaise with the buyers and calm us down when things got sticky. And they did. A survey carried out by a complete cretin devalued the house by 50k: most buyers would have dropped out at that stage, but Mark talked them around and convinced them to get a new valuation done; this saved the sale and our sanity. Mark even took on the job of talking to the buyers’ solicitors, when this seemed too difficult a task for our own solicitors. Again, this kept us sane in the final stages of the sale when the buyers started dragging their heels. We cannot recommend Mark highly enough - he is a proactive professional and a valuable problem solver when things go awry - and they often do. Hire this man!... Read more

Perfect in every way!
We dealt with Mark at David Evans. He was flawless from start to finish, expertly judging the buyer-seller balance and always available to handle all of the expected (and unexpected) challenges of a sale/purchase.
We may have been seller-side, but if you’re looking to sell in the area, pop in and give him your time as he’ll represent you in a manner that forced me to challenge my own (lazy) Estate Agent stereotype. He went above and beyond, and managed our purchase perfectly.
This may sound like paid-for content at this point, but as my few Google Reviews will show, I’m pretty effusive in praise for those people and businesses that do things right.
It’ll be a while before we even think about selling, but will definitely give David Evans and Mark a call when we do.

Incredible service. So family friendly and kind. By far the best estate agent in the area. They go above and beyond to support their buyers and sellers.

They really care about the outcome and I really don’t think we could have done it without them as our estate agent BG we’re so so bad and unprofessional. David Evans pulled more than their weight and were the force that got us over the finish line. Mark is practically a local legend at this point and rightfully so.

Mark has been an absolutely amazing estate agent for me personally both in the purchase of my property many years ago and more recently in the sale. He is very realistic about pricing and makes both the vendor and purchaser feel like they are a very important customer. He answers questions fully, is informative and appropriately friendly; making it feel like a much more positive transition than it otherwise would be. Everyone in the office is always helpful and friendly and Lesley, in particular, is in the know and happy to provide updates if Mark isn’t available - not very often and a follow-up call isn’t far away. We tried other estate agents in the area but I felt most comfortable with Mark handling the sale.

We really appreciate Mark’s transparent and friendly approach and we always felt that he was doing his absolute best for us at all times. We would not hesitate at all to recommend Mark and David Evans and would certainly use their services ourselves again in the future. Thank you for everything Mark and David Evans!... Read more

And here we are, just a couple of days after completion. Despite being enormously exhausted and frustrated by the interaction with our solicitor (Cook Taylor Woodhouse, which I do not recommend in the slightest), we have been blessed with Mark @ David Evans and Maria @ Hays Financial. These two troopers have helped us and supported us enormously in the process and I couldn’t think of what would have happened without them. There was no question or request that was not addressed exhaustively and to our full satisfaction, usually in a matter of hours (not days, weeks, etc). A massive thank you to both of them...

We have recently sold our house through David Evans in Plumstead. We can not thank Mark and his team enough for all the first class support we received through out the whole process from start to finish. He went out of his way liaising with all parties to ensure the sale moved along quickly. He even sent our signed contract by taxi to our solicitor in Essex. As a bonus their fees are half the price of the local competitors. Through out the whole process, Mark’s professionalism has been impeccable.... Read more

As first time buyers we were given stellar support, advice and service by Mark. He knows the area well and takes an old fashioned people-centred approach. The process was difficult as sellers were often uncommunicative with the agents but Mark was professional throughout acting as a bridge between us and hurrying along the process to the best of ability. Would highly recommend David Evans!... Read more

We've recently sold and bought a house through David Evans in Plumstead and Mark and Lesley have been exceptional throughout the whole process. The photos, valuation and description of our property attracted a good set of offers and we were impressed with Marks approach to arranging quality viewings, with people he knew would be right for the property. Mark was our key contact and he was so professional, was consistently responsive throughout and was amazingly proactive, especially in helping us meet the stamp duty deadline despite some inevitable hurdles along the way (not related to their service).He gave great advice and recommendations for related services like solicitors. Mark found our new home for us, on the exact street we wanted and we couldn't be happier with the whole experience. I can't recommend them high enough :)... Read more

We were first time buyers so really didn’t know what to expect but I can whole heartedly recommend David Evans and Co. We were told by plenty of people that buying a house is very stressful, but we found the whole process completely stress free and honestly I think that’s down to how helpful, available, and proactive Mark and others at the company were. Top notch service and if we were to sell we’d definitely be using David Evans and Co again.... Read more

Recently used David Evans & Co for the purchase and sale of a property in Woolwich/Plumstead. Photography and listing was excellent which attracted a flurry of viewings (even with Lockdown restrictions in Jan 2020). The valuation of the property attracted good offers which we were very pleased with. Throughout the process of buying and selling Mark and Lesley were great with advice and communication, especially at critical moments around exchange and completion. No transactions are straightforward and Mark was able to quickly resolve some issues to keep the process moving quickly. Post-purchase Mark and Lesley followed up with some aftercare too.
All in all, very happy and would recommend to people looking to sell their property locally.... Read more

Never once did I feel pressured with a hard sell which can so often be off putting.

Mark would always help us out and make this possible.
Both our buyer, and the vendor here in plumstead, were difficult during the chain process and at times it was incredibly stressful. Mark was always there to help in any way he could, and by the time we finally got those keys, we considered him not just our agent but our friend also.

Horrible experience. Agent who made original appt with me and checked up to confirm the day before was not the person who turned uo, who was the manager, and whom I found extremely rude and defensive. Gave me a lame excuse as to why the original person did not turn up, said it was some family issue; but I found out later that that estate agent does not work on Thurs. A lie always ends up getting deeper and deeper when made. The manager upset me tremendously as he was so rude I asked him to leave my house a number of times within minutes of him arriving.
Weeks later I decided to give the original estate agent I spoke to another chance. He turned up to value the property. I did not appreciate his line of questioning and attitude. It was hard sell and trick questions; all with the intent of making as much money for them the estate agent and a quick sale, and nothing to do with me as a client. I immediately told him I was not at all interested in his quote and signalled that the meeting was over as I had till then, not appreciated how he had conducted himself and spoken to me.
He started criticising my house and belittling it and used all the hard push sales techniques he knew to try and hard sell me his firm's services, that they were the best in the area and manipulate me emotionally; which I found highly upsetting. He would not take no for an answer.
He pretended to make an effort to leave and asked to shake my hand in an attempt to make a connection to resume and continue to push me to take them on and accept his quote; and continue to emotionally manipulate me by scare mongering me about the house markets etc etc. I asked him to leave. He kept hoovering, again using hard sales tactics.
The next day he kept bombarding me with long text messages with the same emotionally upsetting and exploitive hard sales tactics ie belitting my house and saying I could not do any better than their services, so I blocked him.... Read more

David Evans is a highly knowledgeable, market-savvy company of estate agents in South East London.
At a time when house prices were uncertain and buyers cautious, I was unsure whether to sell. Mark Sallnow at the Plumstead branch was reassuring and my house in Charlton was sold in less than three weeks. Mark obtained an excellent price and handled all aspects of the process with professionalism and good humour.
A skilled negotiator with a personal touch, Mark places the buyer at the heart of the process while ensuring that all parties are fully informed at every stage.
I would recommend him highly.

My solicitors caused a lot of issues along the way and without Mark and Anne Marie chasing and calling relentlessly, my purchase may have fallen through.

He kept us informed and really kept his word in carrying out all of the things he said he would when we first met him.
I fell ill during the process and Mark did all he could to reassure my wife all would be well and to provide names of people who could assist in the move if I was incapacitated for any period.
A really decent guy, we couldn't recommend Mark or David Evans & Co enough.... Read more

Reporting to the ombudsman. Unfortunately the rating system forces me to give 1 star. I can only assume that the other reviews are from friends and family. The agency managed to list our property with the incorrect number of bedrooms, WRONG Postcode, a listing full of typos and our spare bedroom as the lead photo online. Absolutely zero attention to detail, sloppy and totally lazy. They didn't even chase any leads and do not have a black book of clients.... Read more

I bought my flat via David Evans in Plumstead and Mark has been advising my partner and I on our current purchase despite buying through another agency. Mark has very strong local knowledge and gives good advice. I highly recommend their services.... Read more

We used David Evans to sell our house in Shooter's Hill and would highly recommend them to anyone buying or selling in the area. Mark was very effective from the get-go, pricing the house at a fair but realistic price, keeping us in the loop at all stages and using his skill, experience and diplomacy to keep things on track when the inevitable hurdles cropped up. I wish we could use them for buying but we're looking on the other side of London!... Read more

Excellent - forget any stereotypes you have of estate agents as they don't apply to the fantastic, helpful staff, who have kept in touch throughout the process with sensible advice and a calm and pleasant manner. Hightly recommended.... Read more

We bought our house in Plumstead through David Evans in 1999 and sold two months ago through the same agent.
If you want a fully honest, hard working , polite, friendly, helpful, knowledgable estate agent call David Evans and speak to Mark.
This guy is all of the above and went far beyond the call of duty in helping us with the sale of our property.
I cant highly recommend them enough.... Read more

We were looking to rent the property and found this hidden gem agency, Mark was very friendly and helpful to find the property within our expectations and budged. We personally was very pleased with all service and help we received from the agency and Mark personally. We dealt with multiple agencies around the London but this one is definitely the best and fairest one we found yet.... Read more

David Evans sold my house a few months ago. From the outset, both Mark and Anne-Marie were friendly, helpful, honest and upfront about the various stages of the process and were both always available to go through the various hurdles/issues that are common with buying and selling a house. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone in the SE18 area looking for their next move in property.... Read more

I have to concur with the previous reviewer with regards to Mark. My partner and I were buying our first house through David Evans and having problems with a less than attentive mortgage broker. Mark was very patient, helpful and understanding. We will definitely want to deal with him again if/when we come to sell.... Read more

David Evans just handled our flat purchase brilliantly. It can't have been an easy experience, but throughout it all, Mark at David Evans remained calm, helpful and professional. He listened to problems. He gently cajoled everyone to act as sensibly as possible. He advised about builders and windows and what sort of floor to go for. He even advised about another transaction we were working on. He was intelligent, patient, honest, good-humoured, and - ultimately - a bit of a gentleman. I couldn't recommend them enough....
