Testimonials

" Like most people selling a home we considered a number of agents before deciding on Daniels but now after having moved and settled into our new home we are confident we made the right choice. Why? Daniels did a great job at managing our expectations and took full control of viewings and negotiations. We found both Chris and Matt to be very well informed about the property market and able to address any questions and concerns we had throughout the whole process. Their polite friendly manner made communication easy and we felt they listened to all of our concerns. They successfully handled interactions with all parties diplomatically and professionally and the whole process of moving house went smoothly, despite Covid. We would very highly recommend them. "

Trevor Hamilton - Vendor

" Sold my house through Daniels last year and found Chris to be most helpful and professional. Good, clear communication and advice, backed up by his extensive experience. Persevered through the trials of a troublesome chain! Would definitely recommend their services. "

Richard Cheffers - Vendor

" We would like to thank Chris and Matt at Daniels for all their help in our recent dealings with them. All the staff were professional and courteous and the whole process was dealt with very efficiently. We would thoroughly recommend them to anyone considering using their services. "

Graham Kettle - Vendor

" I recently bought through Daniels having downsized from a house to an apartment and I can honestly say they stood out among the many local and national agents located in St.Albans. They were professional, responsive and understanding of their buyer needs  and guided one through the processes of purchase which can get quite complex at times especially where there  is a chain of buyers and sellers. I felt I was getting a personal service from Daniels whereas from others it would seem  more minimal with less contact or less grasp of the  individual customers' needs. Whether selling or buying I have no hesitation in recommending this professional company who over the years have gained knowledge of this sought after area.   "

Peter Leslie - Purchaser

" I’d very much like to thank Chris and Matt for their help throughout the process of buying my flat –  As a first time buyer and going through the process alone with little knowledge of the steps required I found your continued advice very helpful and respectful. I didn’t feel pressured or patronised once. Speaking candidly, that’s not the experience I’ve had with other estate agents, so I really appreciated your professional, yet personable approach and will definitely recommend you to anyone local. I’m hoping this flat won’t be my forever-home, so when it comes to selling or perhaps renting aniels will definitely be the first estate agents I go to! "

Apryl Kelly - Purchaser

" Fantastic service and guidance from Matt and the team at Daniels. I bought my first ever property through them and cannot fault the communication, professionalism or advice they provided throughout. Would definitely use again. "

Georgie - Purchaser

" Just wanted to say a huge thanks to Daniels and especially to Matt. He has helped us no end in selling our house for us. From the initial viewings down to a long and complicated chain with trusts and freehold purchases and everything inbetween! Matt kept us well informed. He was always polite, professional and more importantly, when dealing with a stressful chain, he always took our calls and reassured us.  An absolute gent and when he wasn't directly on hand, Chris and the team knew our situation and were all aware of the chain and knew exactly at what point we were all at. They have showed perfectly that a well connected agent really makes the difference. Thanks Matt and thanks Daniels for the platinum service you've given us. We are so grateful for all you've done. "

Lloyd Swinton - Vendor

" The treatment I have received by all staff members at Daniels has been exceptional, if I have had any issues it is dealt with quickly and effectively, and they respond to your emails promptly, I can only hope I receive the same treatment from other Estate Agents moving forward. "

Tanya Tilley - Tenant

" From the tenant side, my personal experience is that Daniels are the best estate agents in St Albans. I had three years renting one of their managed properties and they were responsive, considerate and acted with integrity and professionalism throughout. Anybody looking to rent a property in St Albans can leave their concerns at the door with Daniels. I’d recommend them to anyone ! "

Mark Bilsborough - Tenant

" We have used Daniels twice now and find Chris and Matt to be cheerful, responsive and to have good local knowledge and integrity. Matt was especially helpful providing a lot of advice in negotiating the onward chain. Would use again. Many thanks!   "

Theo Saidis - Purchaser

" Chris is one of the best estate agents in St Albans. He knows the area extremely well and was able to give advise to us at each stage in the process of selling our house. He ensured the sale was pushed through and on time. I can't recommend Daniels enough whether you are buying or selling a house. They give a top class service. "

Noel McMahon - Vendor

" My husband and I have just bought our first house through Daniels and cannot recommend them highly enough. All the staff, in particular Chris and Matt, were highly professional and friendly. Unlike some other estate agents, we always felt they were being honest with us and not just trying to push for a sale. Daniels made the stressful process of buying a house a tiny bit less stressful! "

Sophie Bicknell

" Matt was a pleasure to deal with in my recent purchase. Approachable, open and friendly. Able to provide guidance on general queries too which was a great help. Professional, smooth experience. Thanks Daniels "

" EXCEPTIONAL ASSISTANCE AND PROFESSIONALITY I am a charted accountant with very high professional standards.

More EXCEPTIONAL ASSISTANCE AND PROFESSIONALITY I am a charted accountant with very high professional standards. Having had a rental as rentee (for 7 years), then an ownership and Daniels as agent (for 8 years) and finally the sale of the property, my relationship with Daniels can only be described as follows: They have been super professional during the whole 15 year period! Not just that, they have gone out of their way and beyond expectation to make everything easy during this whole period. As agent for the rental of my property, Daniels consistently ensured tenants with no empty period for 8 years! They have diligently done inspections, have ensured all goes well when tenants changed and most importantly, always speedily advised me of maintenance required so that I could keep my property in the best condition. Any maintenance was done by professionals recommended by Daniels and I sat back while the work was efficiently managed by Daniels. When selling my property I was even more amazed. Daniels ensured that both myself and the buyer where satisfied with market related pricing. From there Daniels took over and made the whole process so easy and smooth that I had really no effort or worry at all. I would like to sincerely thank them for everything they have done to run rentals and sales during this whole period and recommend them very highly! "

Riaan Le Roux

" Exceptional service from Chris and his team. Efficient and professional, which made the whole process stress free for us. We have used other estate agents in St Albans on previous house purchases, but would now only recommend Daniels. "

Nicola Dennis, St Albans

" First time buyers having recently bought a house through Daniels in St Albans... Viewing - Having viewed a lot of properties through various different Estate Agents, Daniels was by far the best. From the minute Matt greeted us into the first house, he gave honest, fair and genuine commentry. He knew the history of the house in detail, (including all of the features - fireplaces etc) how it had changed over the years and all about the street/neighbourhood - which was an absolute breath of fresh air in comparison to other viewings! Putting down an offer and all the legal stuff - Daniels made it very easy and simple for us. As first time buyers you are never too sure on the order of things and who you can trust in the process. But Daniels explained everything thoroughly and were always at the end of the phone/email if we had any questions. They were quick and efficient... from viewing to moving in it was 11 weeks! An all round great experience. Definately to be trusted! "

Branwen Harris

" Had the pleasure to work with the team at Daniels on our first house purchase. Swift, efficient, trustworthy - no complaints whatsoever. On the contrary, a smooth and stress-free process. So it is possible to work with estate agents without feeling like you are being screwed over! "

Pieter Lommelen

" James is very professional & friendly as are all his staff. I do not have a bad word to say about Daniels. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to rent or buy. They are a local independent business and I prefer to support our local businesses as you always get a much better service. Daniels staff are polite, helpful and friendly and always phoned with enough notice to arrange viewings. With the volume of estate agents in St Albans, it is always good to go with recommendations and I can't recommend these guys highly enough. "

Nadya Giffen, St Albans

" Professional and down to earth. Matt helped me through my purchase of a property while answering all my questions as a first time buyer. Most estate agents wouldn’t have time but Matt was always super helpful. Fantastic guys! "

Matthew Apparicio

" Daniels let our property for two years and this all went well. At the end of the two years we had no choice but to sell the property and asked Daniels to do so for us. This was done very professionally and quickly, so I would rate them 5 out of 5. "

Mr and Mrs Stewart, Devon

" Great service from start to finish. Daniels contacted us minutes after showing interest in a property and went out of their way to help us and make sure we could see serveral properties in the evening. All other estate agents in St Albans that I approached would not see us after 5pm which makes it hard to view new places. From the moment we put our interest in, I was in constant contact with Chris, Kate and James who made sure everything went smoothly and were always at the end of the phone if I needed help, or responded to emails incredibly quickly . "

Mr H Kingsley, St Albans

" You have managed our property for 11 years, in which time the service has been quietly efficient both in finding new tenants when required, and in dealing with any issues that arose. We have appreciated your help, particularly when this led unexpectedly to the sale of the property to our tenant at just the right time. Thank you for all your help! "

Mr & Mrs P, North Yorkshire

" Now that the sale has completed, we would like to thank you for all your advice and skill in marketing our property.  To achieve three confirmed offers in less than two weeks was exactly what we hoped for and we were very impressed.   We were recommended to contact Chris Cooke at Daniels by a local solicitor and we have also thanked the solicitor for his recommendation.   We could not have been in better hands throughout the process. "

Mr L, Hertfordshire

" Thanks so much to Matt for providing such timely and efficient responses to all queries, and for helping to keep a potentially stressful process running smoothly. You have been extremely professional and friendly throughout the process, and I have really appreciated your fast and personable responses to all issues and questions. I would certainly recommend Daniels, and I would be very happy to use you again in the future if and when I need to. "

Miss L, St Albans

" Just wanted to say a very belated thank you for all your help, support and hard work last year to get us over the line with the sale and purchase. It really was a pleasure working with someone so dedicated and knowledgeable and I'd like to think we managed to have a few laughs along the way too! "

Mrs F, St Albans

" I would highly recommend Daniels to any landlord in St Albans. The team have been great at sorting out any issue at the property. They get things done quickly and efficiently in a very friendly and personable way. "

Mr W, St Albans

" So glad I found Daniels many years ago to look after my properties. A local independent firm who are passionate and very knowledgeable about St Albans, the team there have all either grown up here, been to school here and now live here so have a true understanding of the area and the demographic. I have a great personal and trusting relationship with the staff, you can rely on them during very stressful times to take care of everything in a professional way. They seem to anticipate your every need and nothing is too much trouble. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone buying, selling or renting – you are in very safe hands” "

Mrs B, St Albans

"  Thank you so much for your help and support during this stressful time. Hopefully we will move into the house soon and will be happy to meet you in St Albans.   "

Dr and Mrs U, St Albans

" I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the excellent service we have received from you and your company. I realise what a great deal of time and effort you have spent on securing a buyer for the property, and also on smoothing the way for the sale to progress. "

Mrs B, St Albans

"   I am writing to say how impressed I have been with your staff and in particular with Matthew Farrant. What truly impressed me was that Matthew really took an interest in finding a solution that would work for us as well as for the landlord. His excellent telephone manner and the friendliness of his emails helped enormously in what might otherwise have been a rather stressful process. I should also like to add that the couple of times I spoke to other members of your staff they were also very helpful and friendly.   So a very big thank you to Daniels Estate Agents         "

Mr E, Tenant

Mr L, St Albans

" It has been a pleasure working with you and helpful to have people who are "on the case" throughout. "

Mr M, Partner in a local Solicitors

" As I live abroad and wanted to rent my property  I needed to leave it in capable hands. Daniels have proved to be first class in every aspect: By advising me on what was required for the apartment to be up to standard for renting, finding first class tenants very quickly who have now lived in the property for two years and by keeping me informed of any repairs needed and addressing the problem immediately which makes for happy tenants. I would not hesitate to recommend the highly professional services of Daniels. "

Ms S, Spain

" I would like to thank Matt at Daniels who went beyond the call of duty in dealing with the sale of our house and ensuring our sale went through smoothly. At a stressful time he remained calm and kept us informed throughout the whole process. I would not hesitate in using Daniels again and am grateful for the kindness they showed along the way.  "

Miss R, St Albans

" I rented from Daniels for two years and in nine years living in the UK I can safely say they have been the best estate agency I have worked with so far. The team has always been very helpful and flexible when it came to meeting my needs. I have recently moved out of the flat and the full deposit was returned to me in a timely manner, which was great. I think it’s hard to come by such a professional and honest agency nowadays and I highly recommend renting from them.  "

Mr Z, Ireland

" Being landlords with two St Albans investment properties to sell we were looking for agents that understood our requirements and acted with our best interests in mind. We appointed Daniels as sole agents because they have an excellent understanding of the locations they cover and a great track record. The valuations were realistic and carried out expertly. Details were factual and our properties were on the market in double quick time. We had viewings within the week and Daniels took care of these for us. Daniels staff proved themselves to be trustworthy and professional at all times. One buyer was rather demanding but Daniels negotiated us calmly through the storm without any drama. We highly recommend Daniels and would have no hesitation in employing their services again.   "

Mr and Mrs F, St Albans

" I used Daniels to let my property over a period of years, and then sold on through them. They were always professional, courteous, and looked after me and my property according to my instructions. I would highly recommend Chris and his team at Daniels for renting or selling your property. "

Ms H, Hampshire

" I’m very happy in my new home, Chris and Matt were both a pleasure to deal with. "

Miss H, St Albans

" Daniels have provided full rental management services for three properties for me over the last 9 years, and continue to do so. They also successfully managed the sale of one of these properties last year. I have been extremely satisfied with their service which offers value for money, responsiveness to issues when they arise and proactive and friendly staff. Highly recommended for both rental and sales "
