What makes a good agent?

I have 25 years experience in estate agency; 4 of these with DABORACONWAY; building up our Branches which are experiencing growing successes as you can see from the increasing number of SOLD and LET BY Boards.

I am responsible for Branch recruitment and am very proud of our 3 very experienced Branch managers William, Peter and Darren. We work very closely together to ensure that you get the best advice and service at all times.

With such an experienced and solid team we really are best placed to advise you on ALL of your property needs and to provide you with the best possible service.



Meet the South Woodford Branch

Branch Manager, Darren Spraget believes “Our service begins from the moment of introduction to any client. Their needs define the service we strive to offer them”.

You can find our experienced and passionate team located in the very heart of South Woodford, conveniently positioned in popular George Lane.



Meet the Wanstead Branch

whether dipping your toe into the property market for the first time, for investment, trading up or downsizing, the relationship we develop with our clients means that the next time you think of buying, selling or renting you will see us as the only agents to come to.

Branch Manager, William Line says - "I believe our business is a people business, and we understand that many people live busy lives, as such we utilise all methods of communication to ensure that we are in contact with our clients and fully understand their needs and requirements, not only securing them the best possible price but also within their timescale".



Meet the Winchmore Hill Branch

"We believe in talking to people", says Branch Manager Peter Gale. "Lots of our competitors simply rely on the internet and e-mail to contact their clients, we believe in doing things the old fashioned way and picking up the phone, personal service is very important to us".


Alongside Peter at Winchmore Hill are Dee Paice and Kelly Traylen, who between the 3 of them have over 30 years of estate agency experience, added to a wealth of local knowledge, they ensure their clients not only achieve the best possible price for their property, but also get a first class service along the way.



Top Winter Tips

1. If it is less than 5 degrees keep your central heating at 18 degrees at night; never have it above 25 degrees in the day.

2. If you have a loft you can apply for a Warm Front Grant www.gov.uk/warm-front-scheme/overview. Always put DABORACONWAY as your landlord – ask your property advisor for advice and information.

3. Want advice on heating efficiency – look at www.uswitch.com/energy-saving/guides/heating-on-all-the-time

4. Know the location of your stop cock. In event of a water leak it will help prevent damage.

5. Are you on the best fuel tariff for your home? Check with www.uswitch.com/gas-electricity/ppc-rev/journey

6. Check your gutters when it is raining to see that they are not “overflowing”. Contact us if further information or advice is required.
