Hayley I have nothing but positive comments for Daren & the rest of the team at Avery. Daren originally helped us buy a second property in 2014 & the service, communication & transparency was nothing but excellent throughout. I even got a beautiful bouquet of flowers, upon collecting the keys : ) Due to this exceptional service first time round, I knew exactly who I was going to for all my future buying/selling & letting needs. We have recently just sold this particular house & Daren & the team did not disappoint. Once again they supported us through any hurdles, that we faced with second to none support & professional advice, meaning both us (the vendors) & the buyers achieved the outcome that was best all round & in an efficient timescale. In short I would 100% recommend Daren & his team for all your buying/selling/letting/enquiring needs. A big thank you to all at Avery, once again for getting me through the selling process : ) 18 Jul 2025 00:00am      
Sustainable Landscaper We were very happy from start to finish with the service from Avery. Daren was very proactive during the moving process to find out information and keep us up to date. When we moved in, the welcome box was a lovely, much appreciated touch. Angus 29 May 2025 00:00am      
Tony A Avery's achieved a sale with the first viewing. However we were in quite a long chain which took several months to get to completion, including a buyer further down the chain pulling out. Daren and the team kept us and our solicitors informed at all times and guided the transaction towards a successful completion. 27 May 2025 00:00am      
Joyce King Buying and selling property is a very stressful and daunting experience, but both Daren Podbury and his assistant Max Burton from Avery have been helpful, extremely supportive and guiding me along every step of the way to sell my property. They have always had such a positive attitude towards helping to sell my property and Daren even arranged to have a replacement lock fitted for me whilst I was away. I highly recommend them to deal with the sale or purchase of your properties especially as they not only sold the property to me, they assisted with the sale - they are the best! 24 Apr 2025 00:00am      
Richard Reynolds From start to finish, the whole process of selling our house, was seamless. Avery could not do enough, not just for us, but also our buyer, and also liaising for us with our respective solicitor's, which helped speed up the process, and to shield us from any stress, normally associated with selling/buying a home. The marketing of our property was superb. Our property was sold and completed within SIX weeks. The knowledge and experience demonstrated, by the owners and staff with Avery's, was outstanding. We definitely recommend them to any prospective buyers/seller, and we wouldn't hesitate to use Avery's again! Such lovely people, so generous with their time. 24 Apr 2025 00:00am      
Ernest Barry Avery were very helpful and honest. They understood our needs well and matched us to the perfect home. Darren and Max handled any questions and concerns brilliantly and made the whole process go as smoothly as possible. They were realistically priced with no irritating sales talk. Highly recommended 08 Mar 2025 00:00am      
Mark Banks We are first time buyers & our dealings with both Daren & Max have been exemplary. Extremely professional; helpful; informative & kept us in the loop at every stage of the buying process. It has taken just 3 months from our first viewing to completing this Friday. Could not have asked for a better experience & I would highly recommend their services. Thank you Avery & we would use your services in the future. Kind regards. Mark & Bev. 01 Mar 2025 00:00am      
Wendy Moore Avery’s have been amazing from start to finish with the sale of our house. Max sold our house within two weeks, setting up suitable buyers and so professional at all times. He carried out all the viewings and was really quick to give us feedback after each viewing, making the process very smooth. From there Daren and Mandy took over the sale process and nothing has been too much trouble. We had problems with the house we were buying, with another agent, which they supported and guided us through! The communication has been second to none, they’ve all gone above and beyond. I would recommend them to anyone thinking of selling their home and they’d definitely be my first choice if selling my home in the future, thank you to everyone at Avery’s, a fantastic team! 11 Feb 2025 00:00am      
Izabella Duncan Can’t fault Avery, Georgie has been so helpful. We have had so many problems with previous agent and Avery have been amazing. Their communication with landlords is great no 28 day waiting periods which has been an issue in the past. The house I’ve rented is in very clean and well look after, you can tell they ensure they provide the best properties and care about their tenants. 28 Jan 2025 00:00am      
Jess Nelson Daren from Avery has been fantastic in helping us with the sale of our property! We had few bumps (some very stressful) in the road of buying and selling but he has gone above and beyond helping us out. I am quite an anxious worried person so the Avery team have had to deal with a lot of my emails and phone calls. Also the photos and sale advert for our property were definitely the best around, and helped sell it within a week! We can’t wait to move in to our next home! 09 Jan 2025 00:00am      
Roy A massive thank you to all at avery in Milton, especially Darren and Max who supported me throughout my selling/buying experience. Easy to keep in contact with and answered any questions I had. Would highly recommend their services. Thank you again for all you have done 10 Dec 2024 00:00am      
Bogdan Panaite We recently bought our first home through Avery Estate Agents. Darren was fantastic, his very long experience as an estate agent in the area, made things happen. Every time we contacted them for different enquires (and there was a few), Darren sorted out right away, often in a matter of minutes. I would definitely recommend Avery to anyone looking to buy or sell a property! 04 Dec 2024 00:00am      
Mr N Meakin Darren, Mandy and Max have all been amazing through this very long transition of selling my late father’s property. They have gone above and beyond to make it less stressful at a difficult time. Mandy thank you for toing and throwing between the buyers and myself to obtain information needed by the solicitors to speed things up. Would highly recommend. 29 Nov 2024 00:00am      
Ian Collins Daren and his colleagues were helpful, efficient and responsive and did all they could to smooth the process of selling. Daren gave responsive help when we needed a probate valuation which led us to appointing Avery as our agents at sale. They kept us updated with each viewing and achieved a good offer. Thankyou - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Avery 27 Nov 2024 00:00am      
John Wilson Would just like to say a big thank you to Daren and Max. For a person who have never sold a house before you both have made the process seem so easy. You both have kept me informed on every development from the start. I do appreciate all the hard work you both have done behind the scenes to get it sold. Keep up the good work and thank you.

Kathleen Used Avery Estate Agents to manage sale of a property local to their offices in Milton. As I did not live in the area I had to rely on them a great deal to manage the sale process for me. The level of communication was excellent - I was kept informed at every stage and Mandi and Max were responsive by phone and email whenever I had a query. Daren played a particularly important role - he was patient and calming whenever I felt it all getting a bit stressful and his optimism that all would come good was reassuring. I would wholeheartedly recommend Avery Estate Agents. 09 Aug 2024 00:00am      
Marnie Jarvis Daren,Mandi and the team have provided an excellent service for me. I rented my property with them and they handled everything from arranging tenants going into the property for me to doing regular checks on the property and always keeping me updated. I then decided to sale my property and again the service I have received has been excellent I couldn’t fault the service at all - I would highly recommend Averys 06 Aug 2024 00:00am      
Tina Moss Avery sold my mother's property in a difficult market, acting throughout with efficiency and professionalism. Daren and Max were very proactive and communicative, providing friendly feedback and reassurance at all times. Daren had strong local knowledge and provided recommendations for solicitors, cleaners, electrician and house clearance which was very helpful. Overall a very positive experience with this small independent company and highly recommended. 01 Aug 2024 00:00am      
Anthony Locke The team at Averys dealt with all our queries very professionally and were a great help throughout the buying process. 01 Aug 2024 00:00am      
Michael Chilton Avery recently sold our house for us. Darren and Max always gave attentive and excellent service. I would recommend Avery to sell your house. 11 Jul 2024 00:00am      
Adam Holt They were very knowledgable of every aspect of renting. Answering all questions. And of the aspects they werent sure about. I.e pets and decorating they got back to me the same day with answers! They even arranged multiple viewings of the same property to help us ensure we had our perfect home. Cannot thank them enough. 27 Apr 2024 00:00am      
Jack Mitchell Daren was fantastic at supporting us through a really tedious process. I’m not the easier of customers and he really took the time and nursed us through the process. 18 Apr 2024 00:00am      
Diane Redding Averys acted on our sale. The advice which they gave was impeccable throughout. Daren had great knowledge and wisdom in guiding us through what is, at the best of times, a stressful process. In addition, he offered reassurance and a personal service which is becoming increasingly hard to find. We are very pleased to have selected Averys to help us. 27 Mar 2024 00:00am      
Jason I have just bought a property that Avery managed the sale of. Throughout the process, Avery were always happy to act as a go-between and answer any queries I raised. Whenever I had questions for the seller or wished for things to be chased, they always acted professionally and got answers in a very timely manner. Should I look to sell the property myself in the future, my experience in dealing with Avery means I would very likely seek to utilise them again for this purpose. They also kept me well informed of progress throughout this process, as a first time buyer this was very helpful. 07 Mar 2024 00:00am      
Jane Griffiths Darren at Avery was very helpful and professional. Everything was very smooth and I was kept informed at every step. Darren was very knowledgeable about the market and ensured that the property had the best chance to sell. I would highly recommend. 18 Jan 2024 00:00am      
Gary Ham When my parents died we got Averys Estate agents to advise us, Daren Podbury MD was quick and efficient at advising us the best way to sale the property, we went the Auction route as he advised this, although this didn't go strictly to plan in the beginning, which was nothing to do with Daren at Averys Estate agents , (solicitor's/probate) at all times Daren and Averys Estate agents acted professionally, polite and friendly even when I got frustrated at times with the process, Daren Podbury MD always sent a reassuring email that was positive. Thanks Daren and the Averys Estate agents team. Gary M Ham 17 Jan 2024 00:00am

Ross Hill Daren and Max at Avery's Estate Agents were very helpful throughout the experience of selling my Mum's house. They kept me up-to-date with progress and I was happy to leave the whole process in their hands as the property was vacant and I do not live locally. They were always efficient, quick to respond to any emails or phone calls, and did a really good job. I would recommend Avery's as I was very satisfied with their service. 04 Dec 2023 00:00am      
Brian Hornshaw Faultless service from Eva and the team at Avery’s! Eva’s visit to the rental property was scheduled for two days after my initial enquiry. The support and guidance she provided was both helpful and very welcome; we only have one such property so are relative novices. It was quickly advertised, leading to several viewings and offers; again guidance as to tenant suitability was appreciated. Therefore everything else went very smoothly, references, inventory and key handover. I really can’t think of anything that could have been improved upon. Thank you for a great service; highly recommended. 14 Sep 2023 00:00am      
Charlie Doolan Excellent customer service. Daren went above & beyond to push the purchase process along with both solicitors and the sellers. Very good communication by email and phone too. Can’t recommend Avery highly enough. Thank you to Daren, Mandi & Max for all your help in the process of buying our lovely family home. 21 Mar 2023 00:00am
