  • "Highly unprofessional company."
  • "Communication was a huge issue with them, finding it next to impossible to track down our agent to even acknowledge serious issues."
  • "Truly terrible estate agents. Couldn't be less trustworthy."
  • "Their staff can appear comically inept, with a remarkable ability for losing paperwork and keys."

Communication

Pros:

  • "Communication wins the day every time!"
  • "John and his team were very professional at all times and listened to my requirements and point of view."
  • "Manage expectations clearly from the offset. If you do not have a solution an update once a week would suffice. Do not promise something you cannot deliver."
  • "They were very professional and answered any questions we had promptly."
  • "The service at David Andrew has consistently been prompt, efficient, and helpful."
  • "Neah was absolutely great. She went above and beyond for me to help me rent a flat."
  • "Interaction with everyone, but specifically Natalie and Anusha, from David Andrew with regards to managing my rental property has been smooth and prompt."

Cons:

  • "Communication was a constant struggle, with slow responses and vague answers."
  • "A fair assessment would be that David Andrew couldn’t care less about their tenants, or if there were any issues with the flat."
  • "We never had a single inspection in the three years we lived there and communication was consistently poor to the point of non-existent."
  • "Their staff are consistently incompetent with terrible communicational skills."
  • "lazy and unresponsive staff, they took 2 months to return a deposit after moving out."
  • "Very poor communication throughout our tenancy."
  • "Awful experience as a tenant, any reasonable maintenance request is initially met with aggression and accusations of damage, and constant chasing is required to get anything done."

Property Management

Pros:

  • "Ella was always friendly, flexible, very responsive."
  • "Kate was excellent in guiding us through the process of renting."
  • "I rented a property with David Andrews and the property manager Berniece was very helpful and professional."
  • "I use David Andrew for all letting requirements in the N4 area, great team and excellent service."
  • "Philip and Kate at David Andrews Highbury made the process of renting my apartment very straight forward."
  • "David Andrew Highbury were excellent in securing the sale of my property."
  • "I would thoroughly recommend using David Andrew Estate Agents, Highbury, for the sale of your property."

Cons:

  • "Large amounts of mould in bathrooms."
  • "The 'furnished flat' was missing some basic things, like bedroom curtains, but my emails to the agents about it were ignored."

  • "Flat in disgusting dirty state at move in."

  • "I should especially thank Ella for successfully finding the right way to get past it to everyone's satisfaction!"
  • "I very much enjoy renting through David Andrew, they offer a great service."
  • "We had a great experience with David Andrews. We tried selling our flat through an online agency first, but it wasn't priced right and we didn't get any consistent customer care and communication."
  • "We were working towards a tight deadline for completion and Sara Walton was excellent at liaising with the seller and our solicitor."
  • "We had a great experience in finding our new rental - Megan was extremely helpful."
  • "The team at David Andrew Estate Agents were so helpful and really worked their hardest to win us the flat we loved."

Cons:

  • "Our landlord finally made the sensible decision to change management agencies this year, and the effect on our quality of service was immediate and dramatic."
  • "Sending work men to our flat at 8am unannounced."
  • "David Andrews doesn't treat tenants fairly."
  • "This is a company that only cares about protecting landlords."
  • "They do the things only when it is convenient to them and when in doubt, they would side with landlords."
  • "As tenants they gleefully ignored issues in our contract which should have been resolved within a matter of weeks."
  • "We recently completed a year's tenancy renting a flat from David Andrew and during this time we had communication issues with the office as a whole."
