  • We as Landlords have used Smeaton Homes since they took over from the previous letting agents. They keep us up to date of new tenants and old tenants moving on. They have been fantastic in assisting us when things go wrong, repairs need doing, and new white goods required. Very friendly happy staff – it’s great dealing with them all at Smeaton Homes. Keep up the good work!

  • I have used a few agents over the years when selling and buying but I recently decided to use Smeaton Homes to sell my property and I have to say, I cannot fault their service at all! From the initial contact and valuation right up until the property completed they kept me updated throughout. They responded to any questions I had quickly and found me the perfect buyer within the first block of viewings. Thanks again Smeaton Team!

    Smeaton Homes Tenant

  • I’ve recently been dealing with the sales team at Smeaton Homes, and they’ve been really helpful. I am a first time buyer and I’ve had a lot of questions that they’ve been more than happy to help with. Smeaton Homes helped me to understand the process, whilst regularly keeping in contact with me to discuss properties that may be what I’m looking for! Best agents that I have come across so far in my property search!

    Sarah

    First Time Buyer

  • I have recently purchased an investment property through Smeaton Homes. I found the process very easy and relaxed. Once our property completed, I then worked with their lettings team to rent my new property out and they had a new tenant lined up by the time we got our keys. Again, I found the full process very easy and was updated thoroughly. Thank you to all at Smeaton Homes, we will be using you again with our next investment.

  • We recently used Smeaton Homes for our move from London to Plymouth. They offer an excellent service, and the staff were super helpful. To top it off, we even got a welcome gift which was a nice gesture. We highly recommend Smeaton Homes.

Frequently asked questions

  • How do I register for your mailing list?

    You are able to register your details online but we recommend giving us a call in the office so we can discuss your criteria further. We may then also have a property that suits you that has not been placed on the market yet that we can discuss.

  • Do I need to have a mortgage before viewing a property?

    It is best to gain some advice to see what your budget is before viewing properties but you do not need to provide us with proof of your mortgage until the offer stage. We work with a local independent mortgage advisor who can help you with this, and show you what deals could be offered to you. Please contact us for more information.

  • My house isn’t on the market but I want to book a viewing on a property. What should I do?

    Most vendors prefer proceedable buyers to view their property so that the sale can progress straight away. We recommend putting your property onto the market before viewing properties to secure your own buyer in case you want to place an offer on a property you view.

  • At what point do I need a solicitor?

    When you have an offer accepted you will need to instruct a solicitor to handle the file. It is a good idea to appoint a solicitor when searching for a property so you are ready to go. We refer to three local solicitors who can provide you with a quote for their services. If you would like further information on this then please let us know.
