Davis & Gibbs

They continuously put up hundreds of fake properties on sites like Gumtree and Zoopla in order to reel you in and then proceed to try and sell you an overpriced property of low quality.
They had the audacity to make a fake appointment with us in order to get us in, then proceeded to cancel 1 hour ahead claiming «The apartments had both gone the night before, and he forgot to tell us… oops» but that he could take our information and take us to some other ones.
Wasted our entire day and were not even called in consideration (we had to call them).
In short, they are unprofessional, they lie, and they are not above stooping to any dirty trick in order to flip a flat and make a buck.
These are the people who give estate agents a bad rep.

The worst service I have ever experienced. Davis & Gibbs do nothing to sway the stigma attached to letting agents. These people are truly vacant beings. The lights are on but nobody’s home — literally. I called the office six times from outside, just as a test, and they completely ignored the phone. They’re fine until they have your money, then you will hear NOTHING from them. Over £900 of agency fees down the drain. Avoid. These people are rude, incompetent and as useful as a set of chocolate teapots.

Completely scandalous service. Lease fell through at very last minute — on extremely suspect grounds — after they held my ‘holding deposit’ for nearly 6 weeks. Wouldn’t touch them with a barge poll. Beware!
(I would give zero stars but there is no option)

In a word — shocking service. We used Davis & Gibbs to lease our new flat. The service was shoddy — after they’d received our application and money, of course.
The contract was wrong — it was their mistake and we were abused for not coming back to the estate agents straight away to re-​sign the lease. It was made out to be our problem.
I can only speak for the leasing side of things, but do not use them, and if you must, make sure you check, double-​check and confirm all details in writing. Don’t trust a word from their mouths.

Estate agents: n. 1) Cutthroat, ruthless salesmen who deal with property matters. 2) The spawns of Satan. 3) Angels who find people lovely abodes? How about a combination of all three?
Davis & Gibbs found my beautiful flat. During my apartment hunt I had contacted several agents (like 12 I’m SO obsessive compulsive) and this was the only agency that called me frequently and kept me in the loop. They were swift in finding me suitable places to view and I really appreciate most of the service that they provided.
I say most of the service because the estate agent I was dealing with kept on hitting on me. «When you break up with your boyfriend give me a call» «Oh, you still have a boyfriend, when are you breaking up with him?» UGH. Like seriously, do men know how to quit it? Are their penises on seize mode ²⁴⁄₇? Would it have killed him to put his personal feelings aside and just be wholly professional in his dealings with me? He never stalked me or anything, which is quite a bonus, so I guess I have nothing to worry about… unless he sits outside of my window during the night in his Davis & Gibbs car thinking about all the murderous things he’s going to do to me. Yikes!
