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.

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
We have provided professional property advice in and around Northamptonshire since 2003. However, our connections with the county go much further back and we are proud to have a deep bond with the area, the communities, the people, and the buildings.
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!

Latest News and Projects
Dry Rot in Action
During a recent survey of a Grade II Listed property, we encountered an active outbreak of dry rot within the basement. The fungus had formed extensive mycelium and a distinct rhizomorph “feeding strand” between timber stacks — a striking demonstration of how opportunistic and dynamic timber-decay fungi can be when the conditions are right.
The Return of the HIP?
The Home Information Pack was scrapped over a decade ago, widely dismissed as ineffective and bureaucratic. But with property transactions still plagued by delays and fall-throughs, is it time to revisit the idea — and this time, get it right?
Brick Noggings on Tudor Buildings
Our surveyors have a soft spot for brick noggings on Tudor buildings. These distinctive brick panels, set between timber frames, were a mark of wealth in their time and provide valuable clues about a building’s history, construction, and condition today.
