GoogleI don’t usually leave reviews but I feel I must after the worst housing experience of my life with Davidson Gold.
The letting agent rented a room to 6 of us, but forced one of the tenants to move out after a month after suddenly realising that the spacial dimensions of one of our rooms were too small to be rented legally, causing a significant amount of inconvenience amongst the tenants.
Although our contract stated that the house must be given to us fit for habitation, everything had been done on the cheap. Door handles were coming loose and breaking off from the very first weeks of living there. This included the very back door, which, unable to be closed, left the house open to both theft and the cold in the dead of winter. After informing Davidson Gold about the problem, nothing was done to fix the problem.
Furthermore, the downstairs toilet had a significant amount of mould growing on the walls and ceiling. Despite informing Davidson Gold about the issue several times and despite the cancerous risk of daily exposure to mould, the agency did nothing to remove the mould, except to paint over it in the last few days of our tenancy in order to hide it from the future tenants that were about to move in, unbeknown to them. Davidson Gold even had the cheek to deduct money from our deposits after blaming us for the mould.
Davidson Gold also wrongly fined us for damaging tiles in the kitchen. Large cracks had appeared on several tiles there. When a tile specialist came to assess the damage he concluded that the cracks were not caused by any impact upon them, but rather as a result of bad installation since they were fitted onto an uneven surface so were inevitably going to crack over time. It’s disgusting that the agency therefore fined 5 students, who already do not have much money, for something they were not responsible for causing.
Upon moving into the house, the agency and landlady assured myself and another housemate that we would be permitted to leave the house early for the summer, as long as we found new tenants to replace until the contract expired. When it came to finding new tenants several months later, both the agency and landlady revoked this promise and did not allow us to do this, causing a significant amount of inconvenience and financial loss.
The landlady was also extremely disrespectful to the tenants of this house. She showed up without warning on several occasions and illegally forced her way inside. She would also talk down at people and even left her relative’s mouldy car on the driveway without warning for several months, something which we did not appreciate. Whenever we brought up a grievance with her, she would immediately start crying and shouting in the most dramatic manner.
Please avoid this company. If you are going to be brave and go ahead with them, make sure you tread very lightly and think about every little thing that they could bring back to bite you with later on, because you’re about to go to war.

GoogleWe have been with Davidson gold for few years now. They helped us finding the perfect flat considering to our needs specially close to work and schools. They are very responsive to phone calls and e-mails and rectified issues as quickly as possible. Possibly the best experience we have ever had with an estate agent so far . Thank you

GoogleI have sold my property through Davidson Gold. I have found them to be a very knowledgeable and professional estate agency. They have helped me even after my sale by recommending a very good builder for my new property. I would highly recommend them and would most definitely sale with them again.

GoogleReally bad & completely untrustworthy.
We recently tried to buy a property through Davidson Gold and its been an awful experience. I put in an offer which I was told at the time had been accepted.
I was texted the address for the property which was incorrect and all mortgage paperwork was processed with the wrong address. I only found this out when my provider called to confirm a valuation date.
I phoned Davidson Gold about this and was basically lied to repeatedly, the vendor actually hadn't accepted our offer. They wouldn't accept that they sent me the wrong address for the property even though I have it in writing. Needless to say we have withdrawn our offer as we cant trust this Estate Agent at all.
For making such a life changing & expensive purchase I would not trust them. Terrifyingly dodgy & unprofessional. Don't trust them with the sale or purchase of your property as you will regret it.

GoogleI dealt with Ian Goldwater at Davidson Gold when I was looking to buy an investment property in Watford last year. I found Ian to be very professional and helpful and he sold me a great flat. The deal went through smoothly and I would not hesitate to recommend this company.
