Davidson Estates Reviews 39

I’ve been a landlord with this agency for 6 years, and honestly, I should have left much earlier.

Throughout my time with them, communication has been incredibly poor. Simple emails routinely take up to a month to get a response — even after multiple follow-ups and chasing. It feels like a constant struggle just to get basic answers or action.

What’s frustrating is the contrast: whenever I send a formal complaint or mention that I’m considering leaving, they suddenly respond almost immediately. Each time I tried to leave, I was persuaded to stay with temporary incentives like reduced management fees or small “freebies.” In hindsight, that just prolonged an already poor experience.

The lack of transparency and cost control is another major issue. For example, I was quoted £650 through them for a simple repaint touch-up job. When I sourced it independently through Checkatrade, I got the same work done for £100. That’s an enormous markup and raises serious concerns about commissions and value for money.

If you’re considering using them — especially for full property management — be very cautious. If you don’t closely monitor and approve every piece of work, costs can quickly spiral and eat into your rental income.

Overall, I would not recommend their services.

If you are a landlord, particularly one not based locally, I wouldn't advise leaving your property in their care.

My property had been managed effectively for many years by Arkade Property before it was acquired by Davidsons. Following the acquisition, the basics such as scheduled inspections were routinely missed with no sense of duty.

Due to the pattern and frequency of maintenance call outs being raised, I suspected that the property may have been illegally sublet by the tenants. I carried out my own investigation to clarify the situation, during which Davidsons appeared unaware of what was taking place and did not identify the issue themselves, they were happy to keep passing on call out charges with no interrogation of the detail.

After removing my property from their management in August 2025 and settling all outstanding balances in writing, I was contacted again in January 2026 chasing payment for a contractor call out dating back to December 2024.

Based on my experience, landlords seeking reliable oversight and peace of mind would be better served looking elsewhere.

Worked with Neeka. She was informative, and made it as efficient as possible. Good experience.

Great communication and clear on the processes and accommodating with move in date and support throughout the process

Davidson Estates are a great business and experts on the local area. They are a pleasure to work with.

Was Served by Neeka , I had agreat customer service experience, she was friendly and quick to respond and made everything super easy.

The service I’ve received from this agency has been excellent from start to finish. Everything—from booking the viewing, submitting my offer, and guiding me through the next steps—has been handled smoothly and professionally. I especially want to acknowledge Neeka, who has been incredibly supportive throughout the whole process. She has been consistently warm, helpful, and easy to speak with from the very first interaction.

One of the better agencies ive spoken to in recent times. Absolutely professional, so helpful over the phone, prompt with their responses however, I would like to give a special shout out to Sana! Absolute credit to the company. I got a little lost and she was patient throughout, came and found me, answered all of my questions (and there were tonnes) and she did this all with a smile! Cant praise her enough! Perfect asset!

Thank you Sana and Co!

Special thanks to Neeka for assisting all along and helping to progress with my application quickly. Also, Neeka has been very friendly and approachable right from the beginning

I am very pleased with Davidson Estates (Neeka's) swift response in helping me locate a property that meets my needs. I look forward to continued support in the near future.

I’m very grateful to the Excellent help and support we received during our purchase process which took some time because of having to sale other property some where else in the country.
Jon was extremely helpful to facilitate all the possible obstacles and liaise with our solicitor and the other letting agents to help us reach the final completion date.
He was kind enough to leave us small gifts at our new home.
I would definitely recommend him and his company for all my friends and family

Jon Smith was amazing right through the sales process from accompanied viewings to sales progression, available on WhatsApp always professional and with a sense of humour when required.

Well done

We work with the team at Davidsons as mortgage brokers. They're a great company to work with - friendly, great communication and good people. Would recommend to sellers and landlords!

Great first experience with Davidson Estates. Jon explained everything really well and his service was excellent. Highly recommended!

Excellent knowledge about the market and guided us through the pitfalls of buying a house. Jonathan was very professional and always available if we needed anything 🙌🏼
