Thinking of Moving to Braunston?

​Braunston occupies a prominent ridge on the western edge of Northamptonshire, close to the Warwickshire border, and is well known for the spire of All Saints’ Church, a landmark visible for miles. The village has a long association with the Grand Union and Oxford canals, whose junction lies beside the historic Braunston Marina. The cast-iron twin bridges by Horsley Iron Works remain an elegant reminder of the area’s industrial heritage.

Today the canals continue to shape village life, providing a popular setting for walking, boating and the annual narrowboat rally. The marina remains a focal point and contributes to Braunston’s strong sense of place.

The village combines traditional charm with practical connectivity. Daventry is only a short distance away, with further routes to Northampton, Rugby and the M1 for wider travel. Local amenities include shops, a well-used village hall, public houses and green open spaces.

Housing in Braunston ranges from character cottages through to more modern family homes, all set within attractive rural surroundings. It remains a popular choice for those seeking a village environment with convenient access to major transport links.

A Professional Lettings Service

Managing a rental property can be demanding, particularly when balancing tenant selection, maintenance, compliance, and day-to-day communication. Our lettings team provides a professional and structured service to support landlords and protect their investment.

We are regulated by both the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and ARLA, giving landlords confidence that their property is managed in line with recognised professional standards.

We have detailed knowledge of the local rental market and can advise on appropriate pricing, marketing, and tenant selection. Our referencing and screening process is designed to help secure suitable tenants who will meet their obligations throughout the tenancy.

Our service covers tenancy documentation, renewals, routine inspections, and maintenance coordination. We work with trusted contractors to address repairs promptly and keep the property in good order, while maintaining clear communication with both landlords and tenants.

If you are seeking a reliable, well-managed lettings service with clear professional oversight, please contact us to discuss how we can help.

Photography

Creating the best first impression of your home is essential in order to achieve a quick sale.  Our professional photography is captured using the highest quality professional grade cameras, lenses and flashes.  We do not use fish-eye lenses to give a false impression; however, we will spend time preparing and improving the RAW image data in professional software to ensure that your home is presented in its best light with images that will induce a ‘show-home’ appeal.

Floor Plans

Our in-house surveyors are experienced CAD operatives and we draft all our own floor plans.  This enables us to ensure a higher degree of accuracy than the typical estate agent floor plan.  We also provide a level of detail that enables potential purchasers to understand the space and amenities within your home.  We obtain our measurements for the floor plans using the latest laser scanners which helps to ensure quick, safe, and accurate collection of data.

3D Virtual Tours (Matterport)

As standard on all of our properties, David Cosby Estate Agents provide 3D Virtual Matterport Tours.  This is a wonderful visual tool that creates 'an always-open house' allowing potential purchasers a high fidelity tour of your property that will be perfectly staged 100% of the time.  It even enables the viewer to take dimensions - critical for planning their new furniture layouts!

How do we value your home? The Comparable Method Explained

What Is the Comparable Method of Valuation?

The comparable method of valuation relies on the principle of substitution: buyers typically will not pay more for a property than they would for a similar one in the same market. We analyse data from recent sales of comparable properties to determine a realistic market value for your home.

This method works particularly well for residential properties, where we can access a wealth of data on similar homes in your area.

How Labour’s 2024 Budget Will Shape the UK Property Landscape

Labour’s 2024 budget brings transformative changes to the UK property landscape, targeting increased revenue through tax adjustments aimed at property owners, investors, and tenants. Key measures include a higher stamp duty on second homes, inheritance tax caps, an end to the first-time buyer stamp duty discount, and an increase in capital gains tax. While the policies are intended to encourage homeownership and ensure fairer contributions from high-value estates, they may have unintended effects on the rental market, affordability, and property availability. In this article, we break down each change and its potential impact on property buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants alike.
