Our Reviews

“...We are first time landlords and Stags managed all the Health and Safety, legal and financial requirements we needed in place as landlords. That was such a weight off our shoulders! They have great skill in selecting tenants, carry out regular property inspections, ensure that all safety certificates are updated and respond immediately to any tenant queries. As a result, our property remained in perfect condition throughout the tenancy.”

“We would highly recommend Stags for both renting and selling a property. We worked with the Tavistock branch when renting our house in Tavistock and for when we decided to sell it. We don't live in Devon, so having an estate agent in the same town as the property was incredibly valuable. Whilst renting we were informed of any issues arising and found Stags to be excellent at resolving them quickly and efficiently. During the process of selling, the team, like the rental team, were always at the end of the phone to answer questions or discuss options.”

“Maria & Catherine at Stags have been extremely helpful with the setup and first time let of our property in Tavistock. From seeing it prior to refurbishment to getting our tenants in and settled they have been first class - would not hesitate to recommend them.”
