I came to David James through a recommendation a good 2 years ago. I only have a singular property and this is where I feel I have gone wrong as I am not a big enough client for them to actually care about my thoughts to them. I last rented my property and explicitly said I cannot afford to have the property empty for weeks on end and they managed to fill the house with little gap. This time round they have told me that the quick turn around was a mistake and has left me with unrealistic expectations. We have known the tenant would be leaving since mid March and they promised that starting the search mid April would give us plenty of time. Which it hasn't. I also think they were so keen to push the rent up totryand make more money out of the rental has delayed the process further. I expressed my upset and instead of offering a good will gesture they have reduced my notice of termination which actually if I go with leaving will cost them more. My property is an easy low maintenance one with no issues and rather than wanting to keep my business have basically highlighted how much they do not value ongoing relationships. Massively disappointed by the whole process

Thought I think Agency fees in across the board should be much cheaper, they were £125 overall cheaper than the competitor we had looked at for a similar property

I was a (single occupancy) tenant at a house that was recently sold through David James estate agent in Mapperley. My experience with them started out well enough (they seemed courteous and friendly at first), but ended truly abysmally.

Expensive. Vat on top. Don’t use their tradesmen as those costs are inflated to. This is something that I managed myself to save money even though I was paying them to do it.

It was decided that extra rent would be taken without conversation with myself. This was unsatisfactory as I wanted to sell the house. Also full cost of this wasn't seen by myself.
Issues with the utilities at the beginning of the process were costly and led to baliff's threats etc.
It may be your opinion as the person we weren't dealing with that it was hassle free, but that was not out experience.
Costs are outlined in advanced and I was warned by other landlords, I am merely pointing out ...
