I would give zero stars if possible. They tried to convince us that selling a plot of land at the back of our property would not impact the overall price. Strangely enough they have a relationship with the developer who was trying to buy it to block other developers. Do not trust Adam ... Read Full Review

Generally we had good experiences with David Doyle. We bought a house from them and found Nicky from After Sales was professional, helpful, informative, and great at keeping us updated. One negative was when we viewed the property for the second time, we were given the same time window as the ... Read Full Review

Contacted David Doyle on Tuesday to arrange a viewing. * answered the phone and agreed to contact me to explore possibilities. Phoned on Saturday as I hadn't received the follow up call.

Contacted them to let out my house. They were the company which offered the best service at the time. When I engaged them, I stated that I required a quick turnaround as I would have to start paying council tax in a month. Now I didn't expect it to be quick due to the time of year but I was ...

We engaged David Doyle to sell our house and it was a big mistake. We had only 11 viewing in 6 months. Not a singe feed back. They were unhelpful and they became difficult when we decided to leave them and go with another agency. We later sold our house with another ... Read Full Review

After having our house on the market with David Doyle for 6 months we have now changed agents. They did absolutely nothing to help sell our house other than suggest dropping the price. This was my first time selling a house and upon further Exploration of estate agents I have found the pictures ... Read Full Review

By far the worst estate agent in Hemel Hempstead. Don't return calls do as little as possible and don't keep you informed at all. If I could have given them no stars I would have. They use weekend staff for viewings who know absulotely nothing about the property. A complete waste of space! 6 ... Read Full Review

Our experience fits with all other reviews on this site. Worst estate agent i have ever come across. Calls are ignored. Messages are not returned. They aim to keep clients in the dark as much as possible. We were not informed when our chain collapsed a couple of times - only managed to keep ... Read Full Review
All we wanted was for them to do their job - oil the wheels of the sale, keep us informed, make us feel like they care and are acting on our behalf and share in the success and joy when a sale finally goes through. We had warmer and more genuine congratulations from other agents in the local area who weren\'t responsible for the sale. Nothing could persuade us to sell via David Doyle when we come to that stage.

I have found the experience very disheartening. I was so fed up with their lack of feedback and staff that couldn't sell a winning lottery ticket, that I asked a family member to take over doing the viewings. Low and behold, as soon as I took up this strategy, I got a buyer. Excitedly, I began ... Read Full Review

Worst estate agent I have ever come across. They don't ring you back when you want to view a property; block you when you want a second viewing but they have a 'preferred buyer' rather than encouraging buyers to compete; don't ring you back when you make an offer; and don't talk to buyer or ...

[[EDIT ORIGINAL START]] WORST ESTATE AGENTS EVER, WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. These people are the Ryan Air of Estate Agents. They make the process more difficult than needed, and leave a thoroughly unpleasant taste in the mouth. They have sucked all the joy out, even at the very last point as I ... Read Full Review
Your agents need to know the basics of each property they show around. In fact, your job is to know more than the basics, so get a grip and start doing some homework. A 5 minute read of the facts before arriving at the viewing is NOT too much to ask. Sort it out. Your office needs to be more responsive. You have one job to do, sell properties, and you have telephones and mobile phones. No body is so busy, or should be so arrogant, that they cannot extend common courtesy to those who pay for their services. This is the UK and we expect a basic level of service, if not more. Get it right. Do unto others as you would expect to be done to you. Arrogance and rudeness...Sort it out. Being an estate agent does not mean you need to have these characteristics. Can I advise you go undercover, pretend to be a buyer, and see how all the other estate agents in Hemel area do it. You will be surprised and may be inspired to change your ways. Finally, if you cannot take my suggestions on board, I advise you to shut your office down immediately and do us all a favour. The world would be a better place indeed.
