Drake & Partners in Northampton handles property management and property investment, and the two available accounts describe difficulties with telephone contact and follow-up. One reviewer reports that a call to the office was met with a brusque greeting and that Ollie did not return a promised email or call for roughly two weeks, while securing any deal is described as close to impossible, with the impression that only larger rental instructions attract serious attention.

A separate account raises the issue of listings for units that had not yet been built remaining visible online, creating confusion for anyone researching commercial space. Both accounts focus on telephone handling, the reliability of follow-up on enquiries and the accuracy of advertised property information.
