  • "I’m so disappointed, I took half a day on my work for a viewing that I booked... So cancelling by your own for no reason is totally unprofessional."

  • "Davidson Estates for tenants is just terrible and annoying: They cancelled my viewing FOUR times!"

Professionalism

Pros:

  • "I've used and worked with a number of agents in Birmingham for selling my properties and found Davidson to be the most personable, professional and diligent."
  • "Outstanding service from Jonathan Smith when buying an Apartment."

  • "As a solicitor, I have worked alongside many estate agents working on conveyancing matters and have found Davidson Estates to be very professional, efficient, helpful."
  • "Really helpful Estate Agents - property was accurately described and the viewing very professional."

Cons:

  • "I must say, before Davidson Estates, I was incredibly hesitant and sceptical about using Estate agencies as my previous experiences just made me feel that they were all very much money-centric and put simply, dodgy."
  • "We had no shower for 6 months, we had no other way to shower and they didn't fix it until I got a lawyer and property ombudsmen."
  • "I was not very happy with this as I felt that they had more important priorities but this to us, was urgent as obviously, we did not want to be left with an extortinate estimated bill to pay."
  • "This BROKE MY TRUST for Davidsons as an agent as they distrust their clients behind their backs."
  • "They add a large percentage to any call out."
  • "Locksmiths quoted me £100 with the lock fitted so you can see the inflated surcharge they add to the landlord as their cut!"
  • "They charge a Deposit holding fee which I have not come across."

Reliability

Pros:

  • "After living abroad for many years and returning to Birmingham to find a property to rent we finally found Davidson estates and we have just moved into an apartment in Edgbaston and Davidson Estates were great in facilitating the whole rental process."
  • "I would highly recommend Davidson Estates to anyone looking for a property!"
  • "Becoming a new landlord was made easy by the whole team. communication has been clear and responses swift."
  • "They were very quick to respond to any of my questions, going out of their way to message me via text, WhatsApp, or phone call, along with the standard e-mail."

  • "Davidson Estates provide an excellent service with a wealth of local knowledge of the Birmingham areas they cover."
  • "Davidson Estates team are a fantastic lot, the level of professionalism and support is top notch."

Cons:

  • "Wouldn't recommend this agency to anyone."
  • "Very disappointed as I was told that the flat I was viewing included the water, council tax and tv licence - only to be told that there was a mix up on the advert and the bills were actually on top of the property."
  • "During the first 6 months or so, Davidson were great at responding to our electric meter reading requests, however, mid way through our tenancy, we were told that the responsibility of obtaining meter readings had shifted to the building management company."
  • "Radiators leaking all of them, 7 months now and nothing done."
  • "I had payed 300 pounds for admission fees and to hold the property I liked. After that I was informed that it was not refundable."
  • "Every rent payment day I had to chase over the years and email a prompt, only then the rent would be paid later."
  • "My deposit was not protected by them for 7 months, that's only because the lawyer and Ombudsman messaged them."
