What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Letting, sales and property investment form the backdrop to most accounts of Davidson Estates, and the recurring thread is the calm handling of viewings, tenancies and purchases in Edgbaston. Andrew Kay comes up by name for guiding buyers new to buy-to-let and for staying responsive afterwards, while Amber is thanked for friendly, clear answers that kept transactions moving. Communication before, during and after each stage is a point that comes up often, with questions and problems resolved promptly in both rental and sales work.

Long-standing landlords single out Mel for a firm grasp of the market and for dependable guidance on tenant suitability and realistic rent levels. Investment advice draws similar approval, and Ben is credited with steady direction during a search that ran smoothly from first enquiry to viewing. Sibylla is named for commitment and attention to detail across a tenancy, and the marketing of a flat is said to have attracted serious buyer interest through strong photography and promotion. Professionalism, responsiveness and a low-stress process are the qualities reviewers return to most often, spanning property management, lettings and sales.

I would highly recommend Sibylla at Davidson Estates. From the very beginning, she was professional, responsive, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire tenancy process. Her communication was excellent, keeping me informed at every stage and ensuring everything progressed smoothly. Sibylla demonstrated a high level of commitment, attention to detail, and customer service, always willing to answer questions and provide assistance whenever needed. Moving home can be stressful, but she made the experience straightforward and hassle free. Thank you, Sibylla, for your professionalism, dedication, and outstanding support. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had a great experience with Andrew showing us a property in Harborne. We are not from the area, and are new to the buy-to-let process. He was incredibly helpful on the day of the viewing and ever since, answering many questions we have had! Thank you!

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. Additional review after seeing their response: none of it addressed the actual concerns. Instead, it feels like they are more focused on protecting their public image than genuinely improving their service. The example they gave about how they handled the DPS issue is only the tip of the iceberg — the list of unresolved problems and poor experiences goes beyond that.

I would have to give the estate agents 5 stars. Amber in particular gets a special thank you. Really made the process which is a very difficult and time consuming process easier. She was very quick to respond to queries and made sure we got things moving forward when needed. From the start I could see how hard this estate agent was working to help make this purchase as smooth as they possibly could. I have no complaints honestly.

I had the pleasure of working with Ben at Davidson's recently on my property search. I couldn't reccomend him or his company more. From my initial enquiry to viewing it was an extremely smooth and professional experience. I have had some terrible experiences in Birmingham with agents being extremely unprofessional and down right lazy. With so much choice at the moment, it's a buyers market, so we as buyers have a choice of who to work with. And I would definitely choose Ben at Davidson's again. He was so friendly and wasn't rushing or pushing anything. In fact he was encouraging me to view other properties with different agents to get a good idea of the market. He gave me some great tips and unbiased advice which I was so thankful for. The quality of properties they have on are also really good. Unlike some agents who try to sell you a complete hovel and make out like it's a paradise. Ben kept in touch even though I said I was looking at other properties and might proceed there. Which I think is key. Most agents just ghost you if you didn't go with what they showed you initially. As I will likely buy more properties in the future, and I will remember the great service from Ben and will go back to them. So it's foolish to burn bridges if you don't get the initial sale. Overall this is a highly professional and quality firm that you cannot go wrong with. Strongly recommend.

Outstanding Estate Agency – The Absolute Best Choice for a Stress-Free Sale! If you wish to sell your property swiftly and completely stress-free, then Davidson Estates is the place for you – without any doubt. From the moment I listed my flat, they handled everything with incredible professionalism. My property was marketed exceptionally well – high-quality photos, compelling descriptions, and proactive promotion that attracted serious buyers immediately. Within just one week, we had a strong offer and the price was fully agreed. What truly set Davidson apart was their hands-on support right through to completion. They were constantly “joining the dots” between the buyer’s solicitor and mine, keeping everything moving smoothly and transparently. Ben (the CEO) and Amber were personally on the case the entire time, chasing updates, resolving queries, and making sure nothing fell through the cracks. Their involvement genuinely saved weeks of time – without them, my flat would have taken far longer to complete. This level of care and dedication is especially valuable if you’re a seller who’s been “trapped” by cladding issues (or similar building safety problems). Davidson understood the challenges, worked tirelessly around them, and delivered a swift, stress-free sale when others might have struggled. If you want an agency you can truly rely on – one that treats your sale like it’s their own – then DAVIDSON is the name. They didn’t just sell my flat; they removed every ounce of worry and went above and beyond until the keys were handed over. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you, Ben, Amber, and the whole team – you made the impossible feel easy!

I had a very positive experience with Davidson Estates during my tenancy. Communication was clear and timely, and any questions or issues were handled efficiently. A special thank you to Andrew Kay for being consistently helpful, responsive, and professional throughout. The process felt smooth and well-managed, which made my tenancy much less stressful. I would happily recommend Davidson Estates.
