Arrogant and incompetent; moving to the Newbury area from outside the district seemed to be the trigger for David Jones to take offence when dealing with us; in his view we were uninformed and un-educated on the Newbury property market he claims to be such an expert in. Having made an offer on a property with them he could not have been more condescending and arrogant because it did not meet his inflated expectations! The last laugh went to us though, having rejected our offer of £5k under asking outright, 6 months later the asking price was reduced to £10k below our offer....

I was obviously very concerned and disappointed to read your comments . I do not recognise who might have written this review but accept any criticism in a positive way to try and improve the service and rectify any perceptions that I have given . I would be very pleased to meet to discuss with you the circumstances of this purchase and apologise in person when I understand to which property this refers and the chain of events . I look forward to hearing from you
