Thinking of Moving to Daventry?
Daventry is a historic market town surrounded by attractive countryside and well-served villages, offering an appealing balance between rural living and modern convenience. The town centre retains much of its traditional character, with independent shops along Sheaf Street and a broad range of larger retail stores, cafés, and services.

Daventry is also known for its green spaces and reservoirs. Drayton Reservoir and Daventry Country Park provide walking routes, wildlife habitats, and opportunities for sailing, fishing, and outdoor recreation.

Daventry’s history spans many centuries, and the town has long been a focal point for the surrounding area. A weekly market continues to operate, reflecting a tradition dating back to medieval times when the town was first granted its market charter.

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!
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.
