Druce just sold our lovely period house in the town centre of St Albans. They provided a fantastic "old school" service and worked extremely hard to ensure that our sale was achieved. We've had agents in the past who get the sale agreed and then do nothing further. Not Druce. They worked tirelessly to help get the sale over the line and were not afraid to push and pull where needed to ensure success. The communication style is direct and the advice is excellent. Highly recommended.... Read more

Completely shocked by how rude this agent was on the phone. I know in this covid world we need to be kind to everyone as we don't know what people are going through, but this phone call took my to the limit. I had to get off the phone.... Read more

We bought through Druce and Partners back in 2005 and decided to sell through them in 2020. Whilst we loved our house it was difficult to sell but Darryl worked so hard throughout. We always knew what was going on and Darryl continued to market until we sold. Will always be grateful for his tireless efforts. Thanks you.... Read more

Darryl and his team have done a fantastic job selling my property - they have been wonderful guiding the sale through to completion; a tricky business given that it was a chain of 8 properties with a few nerve-wracking moments along the way. They were also kind enough to give me invaluable advice for my purchase. I can't recommend them highly enough.... Read more

I recently sold my family home of 10 years in St Albans after separating from my wife. Paul Barker marketed the house and supported both myself and my wife through the process. I have had experience working with several estate agents both in the UK and abroad. Paul provided constant support and combined technical excellence with a genuine, human touch. I would recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home in or around St Albans.... Read more
