WE HELP PEOPLE AND HOMES FIND EACH OTHER
At Dove Davies, we are proud to be one of Edinburgh's leading residential letting and management firms. With over 40 years of experience and a team of Chartered Surveyors, we have built a reputation for providing a consistently high level of service to our clients. Our expertise in the letting and management of properties in and around Edinburgh has earned us a trusted name in the industry.
Our Services
We offer a full spectrum of services to cater to the needs of landlords and tenants alike. From the initial sourcing of a suitable property to project management of any upgrading, including planning permission and building warrant work, through to soft furnishings, we can provide a comprehensive service. We arrange all necessary safety and compliance checks, market the property, and fully vet tenants prior to arranging for the tenancy agreement to be signed.
Fully Managed Service
Our fully managed service is designed to take the hassle out of being a landlord. We will handle all contact with the tenant, dealing with issues arising from the tenancy, including marketing, vetting, safety checks, lease signing, inventory, repair, and maintenance, and regular inspection visits. We will deal with any maintenance issues that arise during the course of the management, giving you peace of mind and leaving you free to focus on other aspects of your life.
Tenant Find Service
If you're an experienced landlord who prefers to self-manage, we can provide a tenant find service. We'll market your property and vet tenants, ensuring that you find the right tenant for your property.
Buy-To-Let Service
We understand that buying a property to let can be a daunting task. Our buy-to-let service provides assistance in finding a suitable property, project management of any upgrading, and guidance on the lettings process.
Property Refurbishment Service
We have a network of trusted trade contacts who can carry out upgrading work within a property, from simple decoration or carpeting to larger projects that may require planning permission.
Letting Your Property
As Chartered Surveyors, we are governed by the strictest rules in the industry, ensuring that you receive a high-quality service. We provide advice on any improvements required, prepare the initial documentation, market the property, and handle all aspects of the lettings process.
Unacceptable Behaviour by Agent
The experiences of several tenants have highlighted the unacceptable behaviour of some agents working for Dove Davies Property Management. Malu Meyer had a viewing at which the agent, David, displayed xenophobic and discriminatory behaviour towards her. He made several remarks that made her feel uncomfortable and unsupported, citing her nationality as a reason for not being considered as the lead tenant. This incident highlights the need for agents to be aware of and respond to potential discrimination, and for the company to take steps to address such behaviour.
Good Experience with Maintenance Team
On the other hand, several tenants have had positive experiences with the maintenance team at Dove Davies Property Management. Gillian Coulter and Lpradoo both praised the quick and efficient service provided by Stuart and the maintenance team, who fit their shower enclosures and did a great job in their respective homes.
Communication Issues
Diego Diniz Da Silva and Kimberley Mccluskey had different experiences when it came to communication with the company. Diego had significant issues with getting clear information about the end-of-tenancy procedures and sorting out final details, which left him feeling frustrated and in the dark. Kimberley, on the other hand, praised the quick and efficient responses to calls and emails, which she felt were super fast and efficient.
Issue with Charges
Angela Lee had a disappointing experience with charges for cleaning and damages when she left the flat. She felt that the charges were false and exaggerated, and that the representative, Neill Crawford, had serious issues and a lack of understanding of wear and tear. She felt that the company was trying to rip her off and left a scathing review to warn other tenants.
