The staff at Peter david are all friendly and were super helpful from the beginning. They pointed us in the direction of their in house mortgage advisor who got us the house we wanted. Great communication throughout our whole purchase. Fran was particularly efficient- no email or call went unanswered. She helped to try speed up what was an exceptionally long procress in the end. We appreciate all her help support and patience dealing with the back and forth between us and our sellers. Overall I would recommend this estate agents.

I have been dealing with Peter David Properties Brighouse while renting the property I have just bought. They have always been on hand to help with any queries and on the ball for chasing things when solicitors are dragging their heels. I dealt with Fran who was always friendly and kept me updated all the time. Would definitely use Peter David Properties Brighouse again.

The whole team couldn't have been more professional or efficient. Excellent service at all stages of our sale, we definitely made the right choice when choosing this estate agent. Special thanks to Sally for the viewings, and Fran for her seemingly endless patience.

After moving from our initial estate agents due to poor communication, poor attitudes and undervaluing the property, Peter David and fran in particular, we're a breath of fresh air! Fran went above and beyond her role to not only sell but assist in the selling process with solicitors. She kept me up to date the entire way and was an absolute delight to work with. I'm not sure what we would have done without her on such a complex sale. She definitely lessened the headaches of dealing with solicitors etc! We can't thank Fran and Peter David's enough and will most certainly be using and recommending them going forwards, thank you!

Brilliant service and very helpful staff. First time I've sold a house and these helped me with any questions I had, and advised me what to do. House was sold after one day been on market and above asking price. The house didn't need any work doing to it and a first time buying put offer in as soon as they'd viewed it. IMR

Our recent property sale was not straight forward but the team at Peter David have been so patient. It might not be the first thing you think of when you need an estate agent but when we were getting no updates from our solicitors, we just called these guys up and they did the digging and got right back to us. And we called, a lot! Used them over the years for tenant finds etc and nothing ever too much to help with. Would definitely recommend and use again!

Fantastic estate agents. Dealt with the sale of our property and were excellent from start to finish. Nothing was ever too much trouble and the staff are lovely. Always prompt responses to any queries which is exactly what you want when going through, what could be, a stressful experience. No stress at all for us during the whole process. Highly recommended.

We recently purchased a property marketed through Peter Davids in Brighouse. It needed a lot of work doing and contractors needed access prior to move in date. which the staff arranged with their client seamlessly. We couldn't visualise what it may look like after renovation but Sally was able to arrange for us to visit a property they had previously sold that had already been renovated.thus going the extra mile for us.
The customer service we received from the staff there was excellent, as was the advice and help to obtain our "forever home" at a time when the housing market was going crazy. We can't recommend Peter David's highly enough for their professionalism.

Using Peter David in huddersfield and the team there have been amazing. Knowledgeable of the local market, hard working and extremely pleasant and thoughtful.
Moving is never easy but they have made it a lot easier. I like their property file system that keeps you up to date on viewings, feedback and offers plus much more. Every viewing has been done by the team and feedback followed up the day after

We've used Peter David to manage our property letting for about 6 years now and have always found them to be very helpful and efficient in their service. We trust them to get on and do their job - but keeping in touch with us when necessary. The tenants they have found for us have looked after the property. Although I recommend from a tenant's perspective - Peter David have been in touch with us when little jobs have needed sorting out, so I get the impression that if a tenant raises any concerns about the property Peter David will do their best to liaise with the landlord to get it resolved for them.

I have had a small house in Sowerby Bridge rented with Peter David Properties for some years now. From my very first meeting to the current time they have been brilliant. The team in the office is excellent. They alert me to any issues and take care of everything for me with efficiency and speed. The team of subcontractors (electricians, plumbers etc) they have are good too. The icing on the cake for me is that, what could be a nightmare is turned into a very easy and straightforward process. I cannot praise them highly enough.

Very impressed with Peter David. Our house was only marketed with them for 24 hours and they'd arranged 4 viewings. We had a super tenant within a week. All the paperwork was completed smoothly and we were extremely impressed as to how well everything went through. They are taking care of the letting, which is a weight off the mind. Everyone with whom we've dealt has been very friendly and professional. Highly recommended.

Peter David in Brighouse are great estate agents and they really have gone the extra mile for us in the last 12 months...Long story! Fay and Chloe especially have always been on hand whenever I needed them and have been a pleasure to work with.

We have now enjoyed Peter Davids' very professional services for over 5 years, their attention to detail is second to none, their communication excellent and from our experience not only make the competition look poor but also expensive. I wholly recommend using Peter David, although all staff are friendly & efficient, Sherrie their letting agent manager at their Halifax branch goes the extra mile.
