GoogleThe worse experience I have ever had with an estate agent. They left us with a broken boiler -freezing water and no radiator- for over a 2 weeks in mid January. Prior to this the boiler has broken down multiple times. The toilet was leaking into the kitchen and it took them over 2 weeks to fix it. They stopped responding to our calls as well. The landlord had problem with his wife and she came knocking on the home door with the police?- edit: they were aware of this I have email proof. two years later but better than never. Not the right place? minor throwback to the three agents sat in the David Andrews office in Stratford gossiping and ignoring phone calls. Sam especially was very rude. Could not recommend an agency less. Stay away!
Dear Arwa, sorry for the late reply, we did not know who you were but now we have found out that you are the daughter of tenants that vacated nearly 2 years ago, I wonder what prompted this review after all this time? Anyway, I am sorry that you feel the way you do, it is always frustrating when problems occur in properties but I'm afraid that things can't always be fixed in minutes. For example, when a tenant reports problems with a boiler an engineer is called in the hope that a repair can be done first time. We pride ourselves that we can, on average, get a contractor out quicker than major suppliers of boiler cover. In this instance a repair turned out to be unviable and a new boiler was installed, again this all takes time. I am not aware of an incident with the landlords wife and the Police but even if it's true, this is certainly not the forum for such a matter.

GoogleWas renting through these guys for three years before leaving the country. Nice guys, were happy to communicate between myself and the landlord if I had any requests, no invasions of privacy or any difficulties like this, no problems with signing contracts or adjusting them if there was a change in tenancy (I was part of the furniture but the people I shared with changed over the years). Maybe I had to ring them and remind them that I had sent them an email every once in a while but I am also guilty of this so it's all good ;). Would recommend them and would have used them again if they serviced where I live now
Hi Christian. Thank you so much for your review, it's great that I can give the team a well earned pat on the back. I hope all goes well in your next chapter of life. David

GoogleNice people but!! I bought a previously rented flat through DA last year. Good buy and was recommended viewing when I was looking at another place. The tenants had given notice but didn't keep to it. DA position was that they don't put people on the street, which is a good one and one I agree with. My landlord who I had given notice to was not so understanding but 5 stars to DA so far. Nearing move in date I get a call offering to see the flat before I move in. I had been very busy with everything and they had shown themselves to be reputable so I said no I'm sure you will see it's ok. Move in day I walk into the alarm to the flat going off with not alarm code and all the last tenants to be honest, stinking furniture and I mean all their furniture, sofa, beds, wardrobes, table and chairs. Added to this the place was filthy. So I call DA and ask for the items to be removed. No response. I call later and ask for the code to the alarm as I have had to switch off at the trip switch also for the wired in smoke alarm. No response. Big let down when they had been great to that point.
Dear Chris. Sorry that you decided that you thought that we warranted only 2 stars but I am pleased that we rated 5 stars with you regarding your purchase of the flat. I would like to respond to the issues that you have raised. We served the tenants the required 2 months notice in good time. As they were leaving the Country, they had an issue at the 11th hour that delayed their departure. To remove them from the property would have required a County Court order which would have taken several weeks, as it was, the delay was only a matter of days. We never had an alarm code from the owner, and he had no record of one. We treated it as obsolete so there was not a lot we could do about it. With regards to the furniture I recall that we asked you, when we asked if you wanted an inspection, if you wanted us to get a charity company that we deal with to remove it. You said that you would arrange it yourself after checking if you wanted to keep anything. Anyway, as you say, it was a very good buy and I hope that you have been happy there. Regards, David.

GoogleLet's face it, most estate agencies are annoying, expensive and only realllllly communicative when it suits them. A sweeping generalisation I know but hey we all kind of know it to be true. David Andrews are far from this. I've spent the last 2 years renting through them and everytime I need to pop in or ask anything, it's like going seeing a mate. They're responsive, happy to give very sound advice and SO relaxed. I don't mean 'relaxed' as in useless. I mean 'relaxed' as in working efficiently and capably but putting you - the tenant - at ease, which as far as I'm concerned is a key skill when going through the stress of moving house.
Thanks Michael, really appreciate that. David.

GoogleTerry is very helpful and professional throughout the process. Easy communication and fast response. Good estate agent.
He is certainly all those things and more, we are lucky to have him.
5/5
GoogleAbsolutely fantastic agent to rent a property from! Very professional from the initial contact and throughout the duration of my tenancy. I would certainly recommend DA to anybody who wishes to rent in Manchester, which is sadly becoming a rarity around the city, as they were extremely approachable, and show care for their properties and tenets. Thanks for the most stress free tenancy I have had!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
Thank you for your glowing review Samuel, we wish you well and hope that your next experience is as good. David

GoogleI have known David Andrews since 2015 when I first rented from them a property that was managed by the landlord and David Andrews were involved in processing my application I found them very friendly and easy to deal with. After 2 years I moved into a property they managed and have been very happy to have such good agents who get things done asap and are very approachable and professional in their dealings.
Thank you on behalf of our lettings staff and contractors. It's good for them to get a well deserved pat on the back. David.

GoogleI've received a fantastic service from this agency buying, letting and more recently selling my house. I can't recommend them highly enough! They always go that extra mile to make the process as stressfree and efficient as possible. Big big thank you, especially to David and Terri.
That's really kind of you Lisa and thank you very much for your business over the years. I hope all goes well with your move to Oz. David

Googleif i could give them a start lower than one i would have done. what an absolute joke of a company, pretending to be the manager, lies and after i requested the forms to sign for the house he sold it to someone else. do not trust this company or the man who pretends to be the manager 'Sam Taher' absolutely devastated what he has done to me and my friend.
Dear Marko Obviously sorry that your experience with David Andrews was not a good one but I would like to correct a few points with you. Sam Taher was and still is my Lettings Manager. You were making unreasonable requests of the Landlord and he decided to let the house to someone else, as was his right. David Gaster (Director)

GoogleWe have just purchased a house that David & his team sold. They were fantastic! Really happy with the service and the speed at which we managed to complete the purchase. What could have been a very stressful process, was quite straight forward :)
Thanks Joe, we did have quite an unusual situation to contend with, so I am pleased it went smoothly. I look forward to seeing the house when you have finished!
5/5
GoogleWe dealt with David Andrews as the buyers of a home they were representing. Even though we were not their clients, they really went above and beyond to be helpful and were really impressive. I was quite happy with the service from my own estate agents but based on my experience with David Andrews, if I was selling my home again, I would use them.
Thanks Gill, it is always pleasing to be appreciated. Moving home can be stressful and, hopefully, our experience can make it less so.

GoogleWe recently completed a property sale with David Andrews. We tried other estate agents in the past but none of them got us as many viewings. The staff are friendly and kept us informed throughout the whole process. Not to mention the rates are very reasonable. Overall a highly professional service!

Thanks Omar, your appreciation is most welcome. I hope your Mother has settled in ok.

GoogleGreat estate agents! Really personal touch with great understanding and knowledge of the area and market.

Great team in David and Terry, who I would like to thank once again, hope to do business again soon 🙂 …
Thank you very much for the kind words Hannah. It's great to get a pat on the back, even a socially distanced one! David

GoogleFriendly staff but a little slow in getting matters dealt with. Sam is very helpful
Thanks very much for your review Emer, it is appreciated. I think we are a bit slower on the property you rented as, if you recall, the landlords insisted on arranging repairs themselves which made us a bit of a middle man. I hope it didn't affect your stay too much.

GoogleAs a landlord I love DA because they are a small team and I know who I will get.. They know my properties and understand me. They work hard to maintain their good reputation. They have always found me good tenants quickly, given sensible advice and ensured I understood all the regulations. SIX STAR!
Thanks Mike. We would love to do more business with you, but the tenants we get for you are so good that they stay too long!

GoogleI rented from D A Homes for just shy of six years and can thoroughly recommend them. Both the letting agent and the landlord were a pleasure to deal with and highly responsive to any issues (which were minor and also few and far between). A first rate service, you are unlikely to find better.
Thank you very much, I'll give Sam a pat on the back!
