Where to start...We had an appauling service from another estate agent, and by the time we contacted Downers, I had reeached the end of my tether. I was not sure if we were heading into more of the same. However, Downers have been an absolute tonic. Nicky Padbury, being the first person I spoke to, kindly listened to all my worries (almost like some kind of therapist and poor lady), and she put me at ease right away. Nicky then introduced us to Richard. Richard took control and eased us through the marketing and sale of our house in a most professional manner. The photography was excellent; Richard took his time and picked the best weather to take the best shots. Once the brocure has been approved, bookings for viewings started coming through in volume. We had more booked in the first couple of days than we had seen in 3 months from our previous estate agent. The house sold within 10 days of hitting the market with Downer. We really could not be more pleased. Thanks also go to Fraser, who kept us informed of progress and was happy to answer any queeries we had as things moved forward. What a great team!... Read more

We viewed a property that had tenants during the viewing that we ultimately decided to let. We signed the lease on the 7th of September and didn’t initially notice the disgusting state of the house as we didn’t move in until the 16th of September. With the tenants gone, it was very obvious and very evident it was filthy and many things were broken. With the property inventory I had five working days to annotate the document and return to them so my concerns could be documented. I reached out to Downer and Co to inform them basically the entire report was incorrect and possibly before the previous tenants and was hoping they could send someone out that could capture the true state of the property accurately. I was given the name and email address of the property manager responsible for the house. I emailed her, she was on holiday for a week. After not hearing back past the date of her return, I phoned again and eventually was told someone else named was the property manager. I was then told ‘sorry the property isn’t as clean as you’d hoped’ and I should have reported this within five working days, which I had. Eventually after much hassle, I’ve been offered two hours of a cleaner apparently employed by Downer and Co. When I was eventually contacted about booking the cleaning, I was given a choice of two dates which weren’t convenient then was basically being treated as if they were doing me such an incredible favour for coming to correct the ‘missed areas’. I own a property I currently let and have rented several in my lifetime. The property wasn’t cleaned to a professional or domestic standard or frankly at all and I think Downer and Co should be embarrassed. This is not acceptable. I never expected this property to be immaculate or perfect. However I think moving into a property with broken glass in a cabinet and the previous tenant's hair and toothpaste in all the drains and sinks is too much. Please see attached pictures from this £2200 pcm property and be careful letting from Downer and Co.... Read more

We had a viewing scheduled before buying the house. Unfortunately Leo Downer did not show up, did not call, did not apologise, very rude and arrogant person.

They kept us hanging on with a potential buyer who obviously wasn’t going to buy and withdrew after 6 months. We gave Downers the required 4 weeks notice they asked for, and they immediately (same day) withdrew our advert on Rightmove and took down the For Sale sign. They said we would still need to pay them if we found a buyer during that 4 weeks. We eventually sold without an estate agent.... Read more

Richard Bailey and Fraser Crumlish at Downers, Newbury. Why would you want to go to any other estate agents to sell your house! Richard gave an honest opinion on my Mum's house. It was a probate sale and he dealt with me in a sympathetic way but still being honest about the house's faults whilst building up it's USPs. Gave a realistic probate/guide price, took some pretty stunning pictures of the lovely garden and also of the not so stunning tired interior, making it look like a palace. The sale was quick with about 10 sealed bids. However, we had to wait for probate which took 10 weeks but Fraser handled everything beautifully, managing both my and the purchasers expectations. Richard and Fraser both went the extra mile when the survey found a fair few issues and handled the renegotiation very professionally. Fraser held my hand throughout the process keeping me calm and sane through the sad sale of our family home. I can't thank either of them enough. Oh, did I say, they are both lovely chaps too!...

We have had a really turbulent and stressful 18 months. Having lost out on many properties we were getting very disheartened until we got a call from Downer & Co to say about a new property coming on the market. They were amazing. Fraser was there every step of the way, and supported us and made sure we were kept up to date with everything that was happening. He was always there at the end of the phone and made sure everything for us went as smoothly as possible. We can’t thank Fraser enough for everything he did for us and going out of his way to reassure and look after us. He was always so kind and thoughtful making sure we were updated with every stage of the process. Thanks to Fraser and Downer & Co we are very happy owners and settling into our new home. If you ever need someone to find you your dream home get in contact. They go over and above and will do their uttermost to get you what you want. Thank you to Fraser and everyone at Downer & Co, you’ve made three people a very happy family.... Read more

We found a property to rent through Downers, and found them very personable, professional and friendly. There wasn’t a question that went unanswered, and gave us (as new tenants) the best advice. We were talked through the whole referencing process which went very smoothly, and when we picked up the keys we were welcomed with smiles and congratulations which was so lovely. Special thanks to Lee and Lauren for making our renting experience so positive. Also, to the lovely lady who did the key handover, I think her name was Sue! When the time comes, we will definitely look to rent through downers again if we can, and would recommend them to anyone we know. Thanks for all your help! Amber & Leon... Read more

After searching for rental properties for a number of months with no luck I'm so glad I found help from Catherine Herriott at your Newbury branch. I was dismissed a number of times due to being a single tenant/single parent but Catherine looked past that and gave me all the pointers/tools I needed to become successful in finding a home. Catherine has such a warm, calming and comforting presence and an incredible amount of knowledge. Being my first rental experience I had a lot of questions but Catherine could not have been more attentive, reassuring and quick to respond. Catherine and her team worked so hard and from my application being accepted had me in my new home within a matter of weeks.

I’d actually put my house on the market with another Estate Agent initially, but felt there was no urgency to sell my property, nor did I feel they were on my side. I met with Richard and I knew that I’d made the right call moving to Downer & Co; consultative approach, plenty of viewings organised and an offer was made and agreed within 3 days of putting it on the market.

Leo and the whole team at Downers were brilliant from start to finish. I received professional and also practical advice when it came to selling my property. My experience was overwhelmingly positive, and such is their expertise they can also help explain 'solicitor speak'. This was invaluable. Buying and selling property in the UK never feels straightforward, but Downer & Co took the pressure off and made the process a lot less stressful. Thank you again for all your help and advice!...

I think it really depends on which individual agent you get but unfortunately, ours at Downer was quite complacent. They sold us the dream and the low % seemed a no-brainer but the service left a lot to be desired. They (quite openly) relied on the aggregator sites and would do no more. We had barely any viewings so gave notice and switched to Jones Robinson. More expensive but the difference was remarkable- better photos, weekly updates, double the number of viewings and we had an offer within 4 weeks which was negotiated well.... Read more

Our introduction to Downer & Co was via Lee Fenn - Tripp and his on line property newsletter. We were looking to buy a flat in Newbury but live a long way away and had only limited knowledge of the town and its property market. He was extremely helpful and over several months provided us with a great deal of assistance in a very professional, objective and independent manner. He clearly has a very good knowledge of the market was patient and didn't once give us the 'hard sell'. Advance 9 months and after moving into our new property, plans changed and so we decided to seek a suitable tenant. Here again Lee helped us with good honest advice and took the time to visit the property and discuss the various options. His honesty and up front approach meant it was a no brainer as far as appointing Downer & Co to manage the property on our behalf. From there on we have dealt with a number of the other Downer & Co staff and they have all been very helpful and efficient. Catherine Herriott has been our main contact and has done an excellent job in finding a tenant and looking after all the associated requirements. Being rather new to the position of landlord she has answered all our questions clearly and promptly. It's still early days and only time will tell how the rest of our experience unfolds. However early indications are good and based on our experience thus far, we can recommend the property managements skills of the team at Downer & Co in Newbury.... Read more

I have been a customer of Downer's Letting Agency in Newbury for approaching 10 years and they have provided an excellent service throughout. I find they manage to balance being professional and efficient while remaining friendly and approachable and over the years have helped us find new tenants that ideally match our property. I want them to take the overhead of managing the property and lease agreements away from me as I don't have time to handle these aspects of letting a property - but to keep me informed when something needs bringing to my attention: they do exactly that. Their fees are fair - I pay for a service and they deliver that service exactly in the way I would want, also making me feel as though they value my business (as apposed to 'just being another paying customer'). I would definitely recommend Downer as a letting agency and hope to continue working with them for another 10 years.... Read more

Two days later (Saturday) received an email requesting viewing feedback, highlighted I was awaiting clarity on questions regarding the property and reiterated these. Rang on Monday to chase (no answer) rang Tuesday spoke to a unbelievable out righteous women who told me the property had been taken off the market and let on Friday.

We have been renting a property, managed by Downers, in Newbury for the last 6 years. From the very start we were treated extremely well and with a great deal of respect. Downers were there at the initial viewing to introduce the landlord and answer questions. They were also there at the subsequent viewing and the local knowledge and advice given by Lee Fenn Tripp at that time helped with our decision. When we decided give notice on our tenancy, Downers visited the house to take photos and during what is always a very stressful process they showed a great amount of consideration whilst accompanying potential new tenants. The check out process has been handled in a professional and timely manner and any questions that we had have been answered with honestly and advice given freely. Estate Agents often get bad 'press' sometimes justly deserved. We hope however that in our search for a new property we will find an agency that is a good as Downer and Co. and that they will also deserve the good 'press' that Downers deserve.
