COMPETITIVE FEES
As a small independent firm we are able to keep our costs competitive, but we will never compromise on quality. We offer a comprehensive Estate Agency service which includes Professional Photography, Floor Plans, Brochure, Accompanied Viewings, and Rightmove listing.
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!

Historic Carpenters’ Marks Found at a Georgian Mill House, Brackley
While surveying a late eighteenth-century mill house in Brackley, we uncovered original carpenters’ marks on the roof trusses — Roman numerals cut into the oak that reveal how Georgian roof frames were set out, assembled, and raised with remarkable accuracy.
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?
