STAY away from Lyndon from this company. He is the rudest, unprofessional, nasty little old man. We were booked to look at a rental, we turned up 20 minutes early and waited the couple who was viewing it before us. Lyndon the viewing go over 15 minutes, we didn’t want to interrupt. He then locked up, got into his car to drive off. I asked him what about out viewing, and he replied I can give you 5 minutes as he’s busy…. I advised we have been here waiting, where he rolled his eyes, tried telling me it was a block booking (it definitely was not) and that I should have just walked in at our time? I stated this would have been unprofessional. He advised I DONT CARE and drove out of a residential area of 20mph at 40mph. The office were apologetic and I advised I would write this honest review. They also advised that they’ve just had an offer this home, this may be why he didn’t care to now show us?? He is definitely not good your Buisness and he did this to us, he has definitely spoke to potential clients like this!!! Horrible little man!

AVOID AT ALL COSTS
Worst estate agent around! booked a viewing for a property in Newport., Chris Davis (the boss) was supposed to turn up but never did. Office staff didnt know where he was, he didnt answer any of my calls. Then apparently they had spoken to Chris but could not tell me where he was. Chris did not even have the decency to call me back or even send a text to explain what was going on. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH DAVIS & SONS NEWPORT. Honestly no idea how they are still trading. Have made the owner of the property aware that the estate agent has cost him the sale.

I Travelled 150 miles for an appointment to view a property with this company - only to be told on arrival that the vendor had just accepted an offer from another party. In my opinion a professional agent would have told their client that he or she would be well advised to wait before accepting offers until all offers were on the table. A whole day wasted.

We were renting from Davis and Sons for over 5 years and within that time, the agency has done nothing to help us with the big damp in kitchen, utility and cloakroom at 21B Dale Rd. They only know how to ask for money if you are late with your payment. House also had pest, rats and very noisy neighbours.
No improvement to the house was completed and landlord requested higher rent during pandemic! Where last year he already increased rent by £50pcm! Landlord is not registered so if you want to make complain you have nowhere to go.
Other problems with the property: - very difficult to maintain garden - leaks in kitchen, dinning, cloakroom and utility - damaged floorboards - hallway floor was loose and never get repaired - outside leaks from gutters (which will make your windows very dirty and make noises during rain) - no thermostat, leaking boiler and really expensive during winter
Several emails were sent to agency about these issues, together with pictures but they truly don't care and sometimes you need to wait weeks for their respond.
Avoid this agency if you are looking to rent, they are not friendly or professional people.

I rented my property out and had nothing but consistently bad service! Emails were never acknowledged or answered. When tenants didn't pay the rent Davis and sons didn't even notice this and took weeks to sort this out! Countless times keys went missing when changing occupancy, and with no written inventory for the first set of tenants, several items from the house disappeared. I spent so much of my time trying to chase them regarding so many different issues it's pathetic! They are paid to do a service and have failed miserably. Stay well away, do not let them deal with your house if you are planning to rent it out!

Never in my entire time of renting properties have I come across a company so useless. Having rented in Newport I found a new property and my time dealing with the agent has been painful... I have rented my own properties out before and have always dealt with professional agents, this agent treated me like I had no money, no idea and that I was below them. My advice don't bother renting from this agent. 2018

The first thing you'll notice about this agency is the high agency fee, higher than anyone else in the area. You might be thinking it's worth paying for a good service, but I wouldn't go with this agency if it were free.
I first went in to inquire about a property I was interested in, normally you get somebody to greet you, ask you what you need and explain the process/details to you. Here they told me to fill in a form and pay £220. I told them to slow down, I was only there to ask, but they were only interested in the money, they weren't even able to answer basic questions about the place.
I disregarded the poor service, took a gamble and signed the contract. Well, after I handed over the cheque, the service got even worse. They move at a snail's pace - first they tell me they'd get back to me in a couple of days... then, both a week and ten days later, it's me that has to call them to ask what's up. This is a general theme with this agency - you have to do their work for them. Missing document in the application form? Instead of calling you to ask you to send it in, you have to call them and ask what the problem is. Try giving them a call and see how unprofessional the whole bunch is - the guy who showed me around the property had no idea how to conduct a viewing...
The whole process dragged out for far too long. Luckily the next time I had to deal with them was a couple of years later when I moved out. And you can probably guess it took forever to get my cheque back after I finally managed to get them to send it.
In general: slow, unprofessional and nowhere near helpful for the price you pay.

I have a large property portfolio that has been managed by Davis and sons for approximately 7 years that also includes commercial units. I have also purchased through this agency over the years, I have always found them to be professional extremely efficient With a polite and friendly approach. I believe they have been trading for a considerable time and the experience shows as they have dealt with many stressful issues over the years as many landloards will have experienced. I would recommend this company for both property management and selling.

The girl who deals with rentals could never be contacted and stuck by non paying tenant. Didn't even check house. Quick enough to take your money but don't do anything to get yours even though that's what there paid to do. Absolute nightmare. Avoid!!!!

Avoid at all costs. Smooth line in talk till you sign up, then getting them to act is nigh on impossible. Inspections! Drive by shootings last longer. It's cost thousands of pounds in lost rent, damage to the property, and goods stolen from the property. I expect more active management and protection of my interests. Not here. Time to evict the tenants and gettng a new agent as well.
