Kristie Simmons recently showed me round a house in Cardiff, as a developer I view countless properties each week. Kristie is one of the most competent and friendly agents I have come across and is a real asset to your company. Following the viewing I placed an offer and will definitely look to use Darlows services again.

Great experience!!

Me and my girlfriend are first time renters and was very hesitant at the start however darlows made the experience extremely easy and effortless. Ollie the estate agent has been a huge help getting answers as quick as possible and super polite towards me and my Girlfriend. Really good work ethic!! If anyone else is a first time renter and is worried about the process then I would highly recommend Darlows.

As a new client, I cannot express enough how pleased we are with the quality of service. Michael's proactivity in the initial contact and subsequent follow ups impressed us and Emma's efficiency, together with the online technologies/platforms, meant a seamless service despite the complications of lock down. Emma has been our main point of contact and lead negotiator since and is a great asset to the team.

I highly recommend Darlowa Estate and Letting Agents. Amazing service! Though I never had any issues with the property, recently had a toilet blockage. I spoke to Gareth Coleman from Property Management in Albany and he sorted the issue in a friendly and professional manner. He always got back to enquires straight away and got the water works done quickly. Thanks Gareth.

Joan Davies

Joan Davies was here in the property this morning and she was so professional and checked everything and noted down everything that was not working and followed up with the landlord for improvement. It was such a good visit to know how we have been fairing on since we rented the house. Good job

Landlord feedback

We found Michael, Emma, Tristram and the team at Darlows efficient and helpful at all times. Emma, who led the letting, was particularly helpful in achieving a smooth let.Against other letting agents that we have used, we have found them the best so far, and are transferring other properties to them.Darlows Portal appears to be a useful on-line facility for property requests, actions and documentation.

Complaint Regarding Unprofessional Conduct by Darlows Estate Agency

I am writing to express my profound dissatisfaction with Darlows Estate Agency, which I consider one of the most unprofessional agencies I have encountered. As an investor, I had an offer accepted in November 2024 for a property advertised as a studio in Ferry Court. What followed was an exceptionally frustrating conveyancing process, marked by significant delays and poor communication from the vendor, their solicitor, and Darlows. The conveyancing process took nearly seven months to reach the point of exchange. During this period, the vendor, their solicitor, and Darlows were consistently slow to respond, requiring me to send over 100 emails to chase progress. At times, the vendor’s solicitor failed to reply for weeks or even months, causing unnecessary delays. Conveniently, by the time we approached exchange, the tenant’s fixed-term tenancy had expired. Under Welsh law, this allowed the tenant to remain on a rolling contract, which was contrary to my interest as an investor, as my offer was conditional on purchasing the property with a fixed-term tenancy in place. I explicitly requested that Darlows liaise with the vendor to ensure the property was either transferred with a fixed-term tenancy (as agreed in November 2024) or delivered vacant. In an email sent via the Darlows agent on 4 June 2025, I was assured that a tenancy agreement would be reinstated on the day of completion. Based on this assurance, I transferred all necessary funds. However, when the time came, the vendor and their solicitor denied any such arrangement, leaving me with the unacceptable option of accepting the property with a tenant on a rolling contract. This would have exposed me to the risk of a six-month tenancy continuation and the potential need for legal action to evict the tenant. The sudden responsiveness of the vendor’s solicitor, who began replying to queries within hours once the fixed-term tenancy neared its end, contrasted sharply with their earlier delays. This pattern of behaviour, combined with the failure to honour the agreed tenancy terms, represents a serious breach of trust and professionalism. I am deeply disappointed by Darlows’ handling of this matter and their failure to ensure clear and accurate communication throughout the process. Very conveniently the same property has been advertised straight away on same day (today - 26/06/2025 after wasting my 7 months)

Hannah and Connor were awesome - we had a really good experience with them both and even though we didn't go with the property in the end their communication and openness was warmly welcomed at quite a crazy time to be buying - would recommend both of them as the service was brilliant.

The team at Albany Road have been absolutely fantastic! After months of looking for a house Jodie went above and beyond to help find us our perfect home. We then dealt with Sarah and Hannah who were great in getting our offer accepted and kept me and partner in the loop at every stage! Such a friendly and helpful team, cannot recommend enough!!
