Nock Deighton in short

Nock Deighton is a multi-branch Shropshire estate and letting agent with a Telford office on Pearson Road, and Nock Deighton (1831) Limited behind it. The firm sits on the Property Ombudsman register for lettings and sales and states client money protection on its own site. Landlords pick from four service tiers, Bronze to Platinum, with rent and legal protection in the top tier.

Beyond lettings, the record shows commercial property and management work beside the core business, with branches across Shropshire behind the Telford office. The stated patch runs across Telford, Newport, Shrewsbury and Bridgnorth. That multi-town spread suits landlords with property in more than one Shropshire town under a single agent. The firm publishes branch addresses, phone numbers and valuation routes on its site.

Customer evidence is the firm's calling card: the Google headline is 4.8, on the largest review base in this round. That depth means the score rests on hundreds of reported lettings rather than a handful. Google is the only public review source held for this firm, so the listing itself is where the detail behind the headline sits.

Our verdict is that Nock Deighton suits landlords who want a structured choice of tiers from a long-standing Shropshire name. The gaps are published prices and insurance detail, which do not appear on the site. In our judgement that mix of tiered choice and review depth is what keeps the firm competitive despite the missing scale.

Questions about Nock Deighton

Is Nock Deighton Telford any good?

On the evidence, yes for landlords who want structure: ninth of ten, four service tiers with rent and legal protection at the top, register cover and 4.8 from 526 Google reviews. The gaps are published prices and insurance detail. Read the full review, then ask for the full scale in writing.

Is Nock Deighton Telford registered with a scheme?

Nock Deighton (1831) Limited sits on the Property Ombudsman register for lettings and sales, and states client money protection on its own website. The register entry can be checked yourself; the website statement is the firm's own claim, so ask for the certificate in writing. No ARLA, RICS or Safeagent membership can be sourced.

What does Nock Deighton Telford charge?

Landlords pick from four tiers, Bronze to Platinum, with the top tier including rent and legal protection — but no management percentages or VAT position are published. That missing scale is what holds the firm back. Ask for the full tier prices with VAT before the valuation visit. Treat a reluctance to send the scale as information in itself.

Where does Nock Deighton Telford work?

The Telford office stands on Pearson Road, with further branches across Shropshire covering Telford, Newport, Shrewsbury and Bridgnorth. Landlords near any of those towns sit in its patch. Send your property postcode with the enquiry to confirm you are covered. Landlords outside the patch should confirm cover before booking a valuation.

How is Nock Deighton Telford ranked?

It ranks ninth of the ten letting agents in our September round, carried by the round's largest review base but held back on pricing clarity. We looked first at what customers say. Read the full review, then compare its tier quote with a priced rival. Shortlist two agents and compare their written quotes side by side.

How do I get a letting quote from Nock Deighton Telford?

Start with the contact routes on the firm's site and ask for the full tier prices in writing: Bronze to Platinum with the VAT position on each. The quote should name which tier you are on, what the top tier's rent and legal protection costs you, and every extra beside it. Take that scale before the valuation visit, since none is published.

What do Nock Deighton Telford customers say?

The held evidence is a single public source: Google, where the firm holds 4.8 from 526 reviews, the largest base in this round. That depth means hundreds of reported lettings sit behind the headline rather than a handful. Read the listing itself for the recurring themes, and weigh what landlords praise against the gaps named on this page.

How does Nock Deighton Telford compare with the others in this round?

Our reading is that Nock Deighton is the structured-choice alternative to the priced scales above it, trading pricing openness for tiered options and the round's largest review base. Coleman answers with published packages on a similar base, while Newton Fallowell answers with a priced table for hands-off landlords. Get its tier quote first, then judge it against one published scale.
