Charlie Hill is the manager for the Reading branch, but all the staff on both lettings and sales have always been brilliant for me! I let a flat through them which I have just sold and the whole process has been great - they found three sets of long-term tenants for me for the flat who were all just perfect and then sold the flat for me ten years later within a week. Always very friendly and professional, and they always make me and my husband feel they genuinely know us and our needs personally...

I don't really know how the fees compare to others as I have always stayed with this agency because it has worked so well for me.

Megan especially was extremely helpful and made our experience run smoothly. After dealing with a number of unsatisfactory agencies in the past, I cannot recommend this estate agents enough....

Sam, Megan and the rest of the team have been incredibly helpful with finding and processing our current tenancy. Davis Tate have a great selection of properties and take care in finding the right property for the right tenant. They're very friendly and approachable which was comforting and the team were able to answer every question thrown at them. They offer a range of advice after moving in, from finances to insurance, and this has been a great help in planning for now and the lon...

Charlie and his team were really proactive from the offset. They allowed us to have an open day to start with which suited us as we have a young family. They made us feel listened to and valued throughout the process and were never pushy. Once a sale had been agreed with the right buyer they kept in regular contact with both us and the buyer. They were also great with the estate agents relating to our new purchase and kept an open dialogue throughout what became a lengthy process. The fact that ...

When buying our home, Charlie went above and beyond to make sure our purchase was a smooth experience, from the first viewing right through to completion. Any questions or queries we had througout the process, Charlie was on hand with a rapid response. Charlie would most certainly be our 'go to' guy if we were on the look out for another property in the future...

We were given notice from our landlord that we needed to move out, we found a property managed by Davis Tate in Reading, we had a viewing and decided we loved it! Both Megan and Suzanne have been extremely helpful and efficient, nothing ever seems like it's too much trouble! You've made a very stressful time a whole lot easier! Thank you so much!...

When buying my first property I was shown around firstly by Sam and who then handed me after I put in the offer to James! James dedication in getting me the house was remarkable and he showed a lot of compassion, patience and also a sense of urgency regarding making the deal happen with an positive outcome for myself. With agents I normally have the feeling they don't care about the buyer but just about the money and getting the highest value! James however made sure I felt comfortable and well ...

Following the decision to let our flat in 2015, and after reviewing several of the other local estate agents, my wife and I chose Davis Tate Reading to market the property. Since the initial let, Davis Tate have undertaken all the stipulated inspections and provided necessary feedback, which, given that we now live in another county, has made the letting process relatively painless....

Megan was very honest and clear all through the process. I spoke to another agent before speaking to Megan so out of respect, asked the 1st agent to publish my property for tenancy. There was no real traction for few weeks and I decided to call Megan again. She was kind and accepted to market my property as well. The follow-ups were great and I had my tenants all set in a week. Megan's marketing thoughts and proactive measures ensured quick turnaround. It was a great experience and I would highl...

James cold called at the house when we were under contract with another agent. Having had two unsatisfactory experiences with other agents we turned to James. His expertise and attention to detail was very refreshing. He also kept in contact on a regular basis. Thanks to James we obtained the very best price for our property. I have no hesitation in recommending James and Davis Tate....

We are overseas landlords and have the peace of mind our property is well looked after by Davis Tate. They diligently and transparently manage repairs. No hidden costs or bad surprise about the billing, they always ask for our approval before calling a contractor (except in case of emergency of course!). They are proactive to let us know us about new legislations and small improvements that can help to keep the flat in an attractive and safe condition. When our property is back on the market, ...

We went through 6 other estate agents trying to find a house to rent over the course of 2 months but were left unhappy with service with all of them. However, when we turned to Davis Tate they provided us with 5* service. Sam, in particular, throughout the whole process was extremely helpful. As this is our first time renting he gave us the confidence and advice we needed and has made everything as painless as possible. Would definitely recommend them to anyone including first-time renters....

I was impressed with the thoroughness of Charlie's original valuation visit,and his flexibility, in discussing agent fees. This was the main reason we chose Davis Tate to be our agents over some other local Caversham firms. Charlie was also very attentive once a buyer was identified to ensure completion was as smoot as it possibly could be....

Comment on agent fees
Was more expensive than other local firms we got quotes for, but at the same time it felt Davis Tate were prepared to go th extra mile and it was clear what they were prepared to do for the fee (which was less clear in other quotes). Davis Tate were also flexible in reducing the fee from the original quote.

We chose Davis Tate after 4 other local agents visits due to our meeting with Charlie. From there Charlie and the whole team supported us and gave regular updates whether after viewings or during the lead up to exchange. The whole team visited the house so as to know it well and James seemed to be the main person most regularly involved in the viewings and did an excellent job. The exchange was a tricky experience and Charlie was in constant contact during the twists and turns of the journey. H...

We have recently let our house through Davis Tate. We received an excellent service. We were trying to let the property with another Caversham based agent who failed to market and let the property in over 2 months. We met Megan on the Wednesday and by the following Monday we had 2 prospective tenants to choose from. Megan is very knowledgeable about the rental market. She is professional and gives guidance in a helpful, straightforward, honest manner. Sam dealt with taking our chosen prospecti...
