Dawlish Report

Dawlish is a charming seaside town with a rich history that is intertwined with tourism and the railway line. Originally occupied by fishermen and salt makers, Dawlish exploded to life in the 19th century after Isambard Kingdom Brunel designed the line that would make Dawlish the first resort in the region to be served by railway.

Torbay Report

The Torbay region of South Devon, commonly referred to as 'The English Riviera', contains the delightful towns of Torquay, Paignton and Brixham; the setting for many of Agatha Christie's books. The area has charmed many other creative and prestigious visitors into prolonged occupancies right back to the 19th century, from Charles Darwin and Isambard Kingdom Brunel, to writers Rudyard Kipling, Flora Thompson and Charles Kingsley.

I have rented my flat in Dawlish for the past 8 years. As I live out of the area I needed an agent who could look after both my tenant and the property. I have been very impressed with Julie and her wonderful team during this time. Nothing is too much trouble and repairs/electrical tests and inspections were always sorted promptly. I am just in the process of selling my flat and it Is fair to say they have gone above and beyond to help me through the sale sorting out cleaners, meter readings, liaising with my estate agent and regular checks on the property. I have no hesitation in recommending

Devon Rose were the agents for the flat i lived in for 5 years. The team were always helpful, friendly and respectful of my privacy. Any repairs or general maintenance were carried out promptly and I was always told about them in advance. If I find myself needing to rent in the future I would always start with Nick and his team.
Many thanks guys and best wishes!

I would highly recommend Devon Rose for their professional service and in depth knowledge of lettings. Legislation has rightly tightened up over recent years and even good landlords have the potential to come unstuck if they do not carry out the correct property checks. Julie’s advice was invaluable to me and her enthusiasm for doing things the right way is what attracted me to use their service.

This was the only company in 4 months to return a curtious email, even though the property had already had a high level of interest. Which was much appreciated as it has been and continues to be an uphill struggle to get on any list to view property.

Devon Rose are BY FAR the best letting agency around. My family and I have been renting with them for over 5 years now, and they have always been so reliable, very friendly and always there if we ever needed anything. I have been going through a hard time lately and they have always been there to help me and my family the best they can. I cannot fault them in any way shape or form. You can tell they are a a family run business as each employee understood my sitution when calling the office, instead of me having to repeat everything to each person, very pleasant in my opinion which also makes it

We have put our property letting in the hands of Devon Rose for approx 20 years. The present Spayne family team are excellent. Tenants have been quickly found and suitable checks on references are always taken. Hand over clearance and inventory are always carefully undertaken.
Devon Rose have provided a service out of hours as a courtesy eg, when a tenant locks themselves out.
Julie is particularly good in resolving difficult situations in a calm and effective way, which removes any stress for us as landlords
This is a progressive business and their steady growth has in no way compromised the

It might be a family business but their costumer service is appalling, never called back when they said they will and took a message. Terrible, stay away for your own sanity!
