Just F.Y.I anyone who sees the 'property' to rent at Almond Bank Cottages be aware it is heavily infested with rats, bugs, damp and Dove Davies are the most negligent unprofessional company I've ever had the misfortune of dealing with. Also look at the small print of the contract, there is a clause to state that the tenant is required to deal with 'rodent infestation', this is actually illegal. No amount of 'refurbishment' would fix the problems in this place, it needs condemned.

30 Jun 2023I had the most traumatic experience with Dove Davies today. I paid the deposit and rent, and after I really got a chance to look at the place I found out that it is in the most disgusting state ever. Many of the electrical equipments were not working and some of the furniture were falling apart. The place was absolutely dirty. Even the cooker was not working for a property that was supposed to be in ‘move-in’ state. They also called me ‘hyperbolic’ saying I’m exaggerating the state of the property. Utterly disappointed.

I went to a viewing and the agent displayed unprofessional and xenophobic behaviours towards me. During the viewing, David made several xenophobic remarks and exhibited discriminatory behavior towards me. His actions were offensive and unacceptable. As a prospective tenant, I should not have ...

I would not recommend these people to deal with. Interesting that the majority of the reviews here are excellent from landlords- terrible from tenants; clearly shows where Dove Davies' priorities lie. We were a tenant for just over 6 months and, whilst our tenancy was handled well, our ... Read Full Review

I've been a tenant of Dove Davies for over 12 years. Really professional and well run, very reasonable on rental increases over the duration of my tenancy and they have replaced any electrical and white good that have been required during that time in a timely manner. Twice-yearly inspections ... Read Full Review

My flatmate and I have rented this property for 6 months now. My flatmate is a student and I work full-time and as most of you can imagine, demand for student flats in Edinburgh is insane. We were desperate to get a flat as we were having no luck throughout 5 months of looking and applying. I wish ... Read Full Review
Cheap for Edinburgh and location, but with all that was wrong with the flat, along with the size of the flat absolutely not worth it at all.

I was with Dove Davies for around a year and had nothing but problems. As said in other review they were are smiles at first but as soon as i signed my name on the dotted line i was stuck with the most unhelpful and rude staff I have ever dealt with. I had issues that were clearly emergencies and ... Read Full Review
The price for where I was staying was too high for what it was but I learned my lesson from the horrible experience.

I've been renting from Dove Davies for almost 9 years now, in two different properties, never had a problem with them. But then, I've never missed a payment and I don't damage things. And they've been very reasonable with any rent increases over the years. I like the fact that it's ... Read Full Review
