We are an entirely independent, highly regarded and well-established firm of Estate Agents specialising in Sales and Letting in Newbury and surrounding areas. When you appoint Downer & Co, we will do everything possible to help you achieve a successful sale or let.

Downer & Co was born out of a passion to do everything better, with professionalism, courtesy, honesty and efficiency at our core. These are the values at the heart of our business and by which we all work under Simon's guidance. Simon founded Downer & Co in 1988 following a successful career in London and Vancouver in residential and commercial property and new home development.
At Downer & Co, we understand that a home is as much an emotional investment as a financial one. Homes are a haven for all the things that matter most - family, relationships and treasured possessions. Whether you are a first-time buyer, a seasoned homeowner, or an experienced investor, choosing the right property will be paramount to you.
Experience has shown that buyers who prepare a wish list before viewing properties in this competitive and fast-paced market have a higher chance of finding the perfect property.

I have recently used Downer & Co for rental services. Excellent experience, I was always provided with clear information and responses were very prompt. They helped me secure a place accoding to my requirements while I was in a different part of the country sorting a move. I would highly recommend Downer & Co.

After looking at houses through other letting agency's, my partner and I were often dismissed and treated rudely for our age and also for the fact my partner is self employed. However Downer and Co were extremely kind, helpful and happy to explain anything we didn't understand. We're very grateful and happy to start making our new house a home.

Richard and Fraser were superb from start to finish when selling my house. I'd actually put my house on the market with another Estate Agent initially, but felt there was no urgency to sell my property, nor did I feel they were on my side. I met with Richard and I knew that I'd made the right call moving to Downer & Co; consultative approach, plenty of viewings organised and an offer was made and agreed within 3 days of putting it on the market.
At no stage during the process did I feel kept in the dark. The communication is second to none. I would recommend Downer & Co to anyone looking to sell their property. Absolutely faultless.

We came to Downer Letting after we approached several local agents and were particularly impressed by Downer Letting. Catherine was professional, efficient, and quick in responding to communication and was helpful in answering all our queries. Downer also appear to have a good database of prospective applicants and found for us a qualify tenant within a few days. Lee then took over the process and he is well versed in the technicalities of the rental process and we had a smooth experience agreeing the tenancy.
We also interacted with the admin team that, and they too, are equally helpful and efficient. It was overall a very good experience and we would like to say thank you to the team at Downer Letting.

Hi Richard and Downer Estate Agents, Thank you for for doing such a wonderful job in selling my father's house in Kingsclere, firstly by suggesting to us an excellent price for it and then by nurturing our buyers to stick with what they offered which was over the selling price. I thought Downer were excellent! Best wishes, Phil.

Downer & Co have managed our property for almost 8 years now. We have returned home to find it in almost show-room condition. The peace of mind knowing we had such professionals handling everything was well worth every penny of their fees. They consistently found us first class tenants and we never had any issues whatsoever. They were an absolute pleasure to deal with, totally upfront and honest about everything. Rosemary's little black book of "fixers" should be the envy of every property company. We could not recommend them more highly and should we ever have a property to rent again, it is guaranteed we will use Downer & Co.

Leo and the whole team at Downers were brilliant from start to finish. I received professional and also practical advice when it came to selling my property. My experience was overwhelmingly positive, and such is their expertise they can also help explain 'solicitor speak'. This was invaluable. Buying and selling property in the UK never feels straightforward, but Downer & Co took the pressure off and made the process a lot less stressful. Thank you again for all your help and advice!
