John Couch and team where exceptional through-out our recent house sale. Nothing was too much trouble and we were kept well informed and well advised through out the process. The team’s professionalism, experience and friendly and prompt communication all helped to make a typically stressful experience so much less so. We felt in very good hands though-out and we can’t thank the team enough.

We chose John Couch to sell our house because we had previously bought an investment property through them and been impressed by the company's professionalism and experience. Despite a very difficult market, we have had a large number of viewings and are now celebrating a successful sale. The company's connections in London, and to an international audience, undoubtedly helped to attract the right kind of potential buyers. Thanks to their PR expertise we had great coverage in the national press and the team were helpful and reassuring throughout the process. Eileen was incredible at ensuring everything went smoothly as we headed towards exchange, even taking time to check how things were going on her day off. Thanks to the whole team for their support.

We have just sold our house through John Couch. (We bought it from them 37 years ago). The whole team made the whole process much less stressful than it might have been. They are very professional yet also empathetic and very supportive. Nothing is too much trouble. Shout out to Eileen for her persistence and attention to detail. Many thanks to John, Susan, Eileen, Lesley and Beverly. Also special mention to the photographer (whose name I have forgotten - sorry). Fantastic photos.

We are delighted to have just sold our property via John Couch The Estate Agent - the same property we bought nearly 13 years ago, similarly with their professional support. There is clearly a very strong team ethic in place: knowledgeable, friendly, very supportive and continually communicating to keep you fully up to date. In the latter stages of the sales process, when timescales were becoming an issue in relation to the purchase of our new property, Susan and Eileen in particular, were so helpful in ‘getting us over the line’. Thanks to you John and your wonderful team.

We were so impressed with the quality of service that we received from John Couch and his team. We comment from the buyers point of view and they kept us informed every step of the way. They would definitely be our first choice for selling or buying in the area. Always friendly, professional and we never had to chase them. They frequently had more information than our own agents and alleviated any worries that we had. What a breath of fresh air to deal with such a great organisation who understand the true meaning of customer service.

We chose John Couch because we were told of their good reputation. We have not been disappointed. They have handled the sale of our apartment with the utmost professionalism and courtesy. Beverley and Eileen in particular have been marvellous in keeping us up to date with all eventualities regarding the sale, and they are just lovely people to deal with.

.We have just completed the purchase of a property in Torquay and found John Couch Estate Agents to be not only professional in the way they handled clients but added that personal touch which is so important. Beverley was our first contact when we viewed the property and from then on was always available for any extra visits we slotted in. The administration of the sale handled internally by Eileen was absolutely amazing and I cannot thank both of them enough in the help they gave.
I would have no hesitation in recommending John Couch for either selling or buying - well done and thank you !!!

I recently purchased a property that was marketed by John Couch.
The support from the team was first class especially from Eileen who even on her week off kept in touch to make sure that I was able to complete on the day that I wanted. Without Eileen I honestly believe the purchase would have dragged on as the solicitors I used were less than average. I would definitely recommend anyone thinking of either buying or selling a property to deal with this professional team.

Excellent service throughout, starting from a valuation which came as a pleasant surprise. My buyers were the first couple shown round by Beverly who handled negotiations very professionally. Then the sale monitoring by Eileen was exceptional. A difficult job, with both vendor and purchasers pushing her all along, was handled with great skill and diplomacy. I would give her 7 stars alone. Thoroughly recommend this firm.

We can’t thank John, Susan and all the team at John Couch Estate Agents enough !
Having recently used them to sell our home, and also purchase our new home through them.
Their dedication and expertise is second to none. Our house transaction was certainly a rollercoaster. But it was made easier by the amazing level of customer service we received. They kept us informed every step of the way.
They were instrumental in making it happen, their communication skills with a special mention for Susan with the rest of the people involved in the chain were exceptional.
For John and his team it is more than just a job. They really are passionate about what they do and it shows !
They care about the people they are helping on their property journey.
If you are looking for an estate agent. I cannot recommend the friendly and professional team at John Couch enough. Their knowledge and expertise within the bay is unrivalled.

I have recently purchased a property through John Couch Estate Agents and I was absolutely delighted with the service I received every step of the way.
The sale of my former property was both problematic and time consuming and it meant so much to me to be given such encouragement and assistance by the Agency during a very difficult time. This, in turn, enabled me to secure my ideal property in Torquay.
My requirements for my new home were quite specific and were very much taken into consideration when selecting properties for me to view. As part of this process, excellent local knowledge and depth of understanding of the property market were vital to me in order to make my final decision.
When my decision was made, it was the Agency which 'made it happen', nudging things along and being very proactive, particularly through the legal process. Thereafter, I was very well supported during my actual move, which was invaluable. I am very confident, going forward, I will always be able to rely on getting good advice and guidance should the need arise.
I wholeheartedly recommend John Couch Estate Agents. The depth of knowledge and experience they have is such a valuable commodity and is complimented by an extremely personalised, caring and friendly service.

We have just read the previous review and cannot believe how it could possibly be for the same agents who have recently assisted us in the sale of our house and the purchase of our new apartment.
John Couch Estate agents and the team of staff could not have been more helpful.
We took advice in the first instance to settle on a sale price which was considerably higher than other agents had recommended and although it took a little time to sell, we achieved the full asking price. I got the impression that John Couch and his negotiators do not like to settle on anything but the full asking price.
With regard to our purchase, local knowledge is everything and John Couch has it. Viewings by all members of staff were always on time and professionally carried out. They listened to what we wanted and went out of their way to find the perfect place for us to spend our retirement. Eventually they succeeded and we could not be happier. Once again the process was quick and seamless.
Even after our move, the team have been most helpful, assisting us with local issues involving the apartment management company and out of hours problems.
We would have no hesitation in recommending John Couch and his team to anyone. Their professionalism, attention to detail and the way they kept us in the picture every step of the way, made us feel confident and reassured throughout the whole process.
If we do ever need to move again we would most definitely use the same agents.

18 days from Offer to Completion!!
That only happens when a professional agent matches a serious and willing overseas vendor with an equally highly motivated UK buyer and then coordinates a very efficient pair of solicitors.
The process could not have been bettered.

I genuinely don't think you will find a better Torbay based agent than John and his team of consummate professionals. We are delighted that they found the ideal buyers who clearly appreciated the efforts we made in completely transforming a 1960's bungalow into very versatile quality modern home. We are delighted that our purchasers love their new home and are now putting their own unique stamp on it!
We spent quite some time comparing the various agents available, and although each of the three agents we shortlisted seemed very professional, John and his team had the edge in giving us the confidence we needed to assure us they would do their utmost to achieve the sale price we needed in order to proceed with our next purchase back in Cornwall.
Bev helped considerably in this process utilising her excellent negotiating skills and nothing was ever too much trouble, tweaking brochure details and professional quality photos here and there until everyone was happy!
It was a really positive team effort and viewing feedback was always good and specific. Good relevant advice was always available and Eileen ensured the process was as smooth as possible by frequent friendly monitoring! She also helped confirm our choice of solicitor and again have no hesitation in recommending Tracy of Darby & Darby in St Marychurch for this aspect of the process.
We have sold several homes in the past but none have been as straightforward and smooth as this.
To summarise, if you have a home in Torbay, especially one that is a little unusual in a good location and that would benefit from good traditional targeted marketing combined with online exposure, then I have no hesitation in recommending John and his team.

Great service.
Having missed out on a couple of other properties we were interested in a property that was sent to us on the "property notification" email service. We rang the office and John said he could meet us there in half an hour which on a Friday afternoon was above and beyond my expectations. He then valued our property and marketed it professionally. Viewings were always accompanied, generally by Claire who was very friendly and enthusiastic about our home and a successful sale was negotiated. Eileen is a great asset to the business and relentless at chasing up outstanding matters and I do wonder if the transactions would have gone through without her input.

I thoroughly recommend the professionalism, enthusiasm and downto earth approach when dealing with any members of this wonderful agent. Claire was enthusastic about the property she showed me and very knowledgeable about Torquay. i viewed the property many times and she always answered aby queries. i think she was as excited as i was when my offer was accepted. I was passed to Eileen once the sale progressed. Any obstacles were dealt with very efficiently and i was regularly informed of progress even when Eileen was off work she delivered. The expertise and dedication by all staff is much to be admired. I would thoroughly recommend Mr Couch and his team.

This wasn't my first experience of using John Couch as an agent and it certainly won' t be my last. Excellent service from start to finish. Bev handled my purchase initially. She managed to find the perfect house for me and helped me secure the purchase at the right price for all parties. She couldn't have been more generous with her time for viewings or just talking over any concerns I might have. Eileen stepped in when we were close to exchange. She is John's dedicated member of staff for dealing with the solicitors. When my preferred exchange-date started to drift into the future, Eileen manged to get the solicitors talking and secured the completion date I wanted. 5 stars as always, John.

We enjoyed a most positive purchasing experience with John Couch Estate Agents and would be happy to recommend their services.
Claire carried out the viewing for us and was really informed, helpful and pleasant; Claire went out of her way to assist with our deliberations during the day and made herself available for a second viewing by going to the trouble of changing her arrangements. We were really impressed with her positive approach and she has helped us throughout the purchase process in the same manner.
Our main contact during the negotiations was Elaine, who is brilliant at communication and moving things on; Elaine is a pleasure to deal with and we are most grateful to her.
All the staff at John Couch we spoke to on any occasion presented in the same professional and helpful manner; the office at Wellswood is classy and welcoming, the whole experience from the perspective of the buyer has been first class. Many thanks Tim & Sue.

Superb service. We were new to Torbay so relied heavily on the John Couch team for advice on which area to choose and house prices. They didn’t waste our time viewing unsuitable properties. Their service, from viewing to completion, was faultless. A friendly team who were even able to help with suggestions for builders etc.
We had encountered 5 other agents in Devon during our search - I would absolutely recommend John Couch as being in a different league. If ever we sell, it will be with them.

Property listings are matched to data from the Land Registry by our clever algorithm. Clever as it may be, it isn't always right, especially if a property was listed by multiple agents. The asking price is the original listing price, NOT the final listing price.
