I have used David James to manage my rental flat in Beckenham for over 10 years. They werent the first letting agent I used but they will be my last. Super efficient, friendly, expert service at a great price. Ive not been a month without a tenant and their range of repairers and tradesman to fix problems and conduct surveys is excellent.

BAD SERVICE . PLEASE AVOID THIS ESTATE AGENT AT ALL COST. There is a disgruntled lady who picks phone . Unprofessional service. Never get back to you after several calls just to view a property. Really rubbish. And poor customer service

My sale took a long time but David James stuck with me and continued to work for me all the time and ultimately we had a successful outcome which I believe was solely down to David James Estate Agents. In particular Vicky Ingram from the Post Sales Department was attentive and reassuring to me at times when I felt the sale would never happen. She was my first point of contact as it was her that was communicating with all the other parties and unlike my solicitor she kept me regularly updated. In previous house sales the estate agent has had little interaction after finding me a buyer but this

I've recently purchased a property through David James - and they could not have been more helpful throughout the process. I'd especially like to thank Susan, who I was in constant communication with throughout, and chased up any issues promptly and ensured everything was progressing as smoothly as possible. As a first time buyer who was unsure of the process, this was a great help in making sure everything was done as it should be! I couldn't recommend enough and look forward to dealing with them again in the future.
