Davidson Estates

Just wanted to leave a quick review for Jon Smith, I dealt with him previously for a purchase which sadly fell through. Jon was everything you’d want from an agent throughout, during the viewings he was knowledgeable about all aspects - the flat, the building, the competing buildings, the developer etc and when it came time to make an offer it was straight forward as the flat was fairly priced and he didn’t play any of the usual mind games. During the sale this also continued, he was always reachable and acted as a great go between for both parties to help get things moving. Whilst I don’t have any ongoing relationship with Jon he has been great at answering any additional questions I may have about the market as a neutral party. Would highly recommend!

I have had a brilliant experience with the property management side of Davidson Estates. They handled my query quickly and effectively keeping me updated on all the stages. Chelsea made sure that I was given regular updates and always ensured I was kept in the loop. I was easily told how to report my issues for future reference and always had a polite and empathetic service.

I recently moved into my new apartment in Digbeth that I bought from Davidson’s. There were many unexpected issues during the property buying process but Jon remained kind and helpful which really helped to alleviate most of the stress of the situation. My application for a remortgage had been declined after months of struggling with the broker, but Jon’s recommendation for a new broker helped to get the mortgage offer in place within a matter of just two weeks. Jon also always made time to help with enquiries or issues - going above and beyond, including working after hours.

I had an exceptional experience purchasing my first home with Davidson Estate Agents. From the moment I expressed interest in viewing the property, Davidson demonstrated flexibility and efficiency in arranging a viewing that suited my schedule. Throughout the entire process, they exceeded my expectations by effectively facilitating communication between the solicitors and the vendor. I felt consistently informed and heard, which made the experience smooth and stress-free. The entire team showcased professionalism and dedication. I wholeheartedly recommend Davidson Estate Agents to anyone seeking outstanding service.

Unfortunately, We went through a traumatic experience — living with mould and damage caused by a severe water leak that their own contractors confirmed was not our fault. Despite this, deep repairs were delayed and we were left in unsafe, unhealthy conditions during tenancy period Two weeks before serving us a notice to leave, the landlord replaced the entire flooring without cleaning after, making me and my baby live in a construction site and stay away from home for 2 days !! We cleaned for two full days after that indescribable mess as well as 3 other days before moving out — and still they are trying to keep our entire deposit. They even misrepresented the original inventory and tried to charge us for pre-existing issues and items damaged by the leak - which they totally and intentionally ignored like it didn’t happen!!- Worst of all, We were misled and pressured, this all because they are completely following their landlords’ desires regardless how illogical they are!and without looking fairly to any other reasonable considerations!! Moreover, when you try to discuss and reach a solution, you will find no negotiation. What was meant to be our baby’s first home became an ongoing source of stress, uncertainty, and expense. I would not recommend Davidson Estates to any young family or anyone looking for a safe and respectful tenancy experience.

I paid a £2,500 reservation fee for a commercial unit in May, but the contract pack wasn’t provided until November — and by March, key documents were still missing. Communication was poor throughout, and when I raised structural concerns and asked to negotiate, the seller showed no flexibility. I eventually withdrew, having lost time and money. The agent ignored my formal complaint entirely and refused to refund any of the reservation fee, despite delays being outside my control. I would advise other buyers to be very cautious — this process was unfair, unbalanced, and handled with little regard for basic standards of service. For Andrew: You have got my details, so if you want to continue this conversation, get in touch

we appreciate the dedication and efforts Jon put into our case. We had a great experience working with Jon overall. Jon was extremely hands-on, proactive and always available when we needed to reach him, which made the whole process feel much smoother and more secure. Apart from a little pushing in few times, as we understand the vender also pushed him forward. Overall, Jon's service was impeccable, he helped us check and access the property and made sure that all our concerns were taken care of throughout the legal process. Hence, we would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home.
