I purchased a 15th Century almshouse in Exeter from Cooksleys some 20 years ago and they have successfully found me tenants on several occasions. I have now sold the property through the firm and was impressed with their efficient, friendly and professional service, with regular feedback and updates.

Since 2020 a restriction has been in place to allow priority on this route to buses and cycles, with a further exemption being introduced more recently for taxis.
Now CCTV cameras will enforce this and it follows new powers devolved to Devon County Council (DCC) from the Department of Transport.
DCC is one of a number of local authorities in England that has received the power to enforce Moving Traffic Offences (MTOs).
Previously enforcement could only be carried out by the police.
These powers allow us to improve road safety, support active travel and public transport by addressing issues caused by drivers that contravene the rules of the road. This includes driving through a no entry sign, making banned turns, entering a yellow box junction when the exit isn’t clear and driving on routes that are for buses and taxis only.
There are eight sites on Devon’s Highways, including Wonford Road, have been identified where enforcement should be conducted.
These are:
- Bus Gate, Old Torrington Road, Sticklepath, Barnstaple
- No Right Turn, The Square, Barnstaple
- Bus Gate, Taw Vale, Barnstaple
- Bus Gate, Wonford Road, Exeter
- Bus Lane, Topsham Road, Exeter
- Bus Lane, Fore Street Heavitree, Exeter
- Bus Lane, Cowick Street, Exeter
- One Way, Iron Bridge, Exeter
The cameras will all enforce areas where restrictions have been in place for some time.

Thank you for your very kind review Much appreciated by all the Lettings team ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
I rented through Cooksleys for 12 years and have always found them to be super supportive and friendly. I always felt like they respected that, although a rental property, the house was our home and they were considerate of this during the regular inspections. Thank you to the lettings team help at the end of our tenancy, if we ever need to find a rental property again we would not hesitate in contacting Cooksleys again.

Here are some things to think about if you are moving out of your student accommodation and heading home this summer, to make sure you get your deposit back stress-free:
- Clean everything PROFFESIONALLY CLEANED AS STATED IN MOVE OUT PACK – The bathroom, hobs, Appliances and carpets and garden ... back to its original state the more you should get back from your deposit.
- Put all your rubbish out on collection day before you move out so that none is left behind for the landlord or next tenants to sort out.
- Don't leave anything behind– do a sweep of your place before you leave, checking under beds and sofas.
- Arrange an inspection of the property to discuss any works/repairs with the landlord, so you have time to attend to any issues before you move out.
- Return keys to the landlord or letting agency on time.
- Inform utility companies of your leaving date and pay any bills up to the end of the tenancy.
Your deposit should be in a deposit scheme and the landlord will contact you with how much they think should be deducted. Once you and your housemates have agreed on this with the landlord you will get instructions on how to get your deposit back, and then you are free to enjoy the rest of your summer
