Saw a property was to let for £1200/month, organised a viewing online, travelled to view it. Correspondence was polite, courteous and professional. Once viewed I was ready to go ahead and put pen to paper same day. To do this I was asked to pay a non refundable £500 deposit (not included as part of the returnable security bond or 1st months rent.) No itinerary as to what this was for, and it was requested as one line, via text, with bank details. I don't know why I would pay an Estate Agent £500 for them to carry out their regular business activities, I've never heard anything like it, £75 max maybe for a holding fee, certainly not £500! Was told it needed to occur by end of the day which I felt was a pressure tactic. All information was received over text not email, with typo's ie 'no. refundable £500', didn't trust them enough to tell if this was intentional or not, Read reviews across various sites not just this one including Reddit, going back beyond 2018. From 2018 back the majority of reviews tend to go down to 1* rather than 5* which seemed a red flag too as reviews can be potentially be self written to cover over bad reviews in the past. Similar examples of exorbitant fee's being requested were present in reviews across different review sites, smelled a Rat. If it walks like a duck, quads like a duck, its probably a duck. More...

Good prompt service from Dave & Andrew on selling a property, timely viewings, always kept well informed and one agent who provides feedback and prompts potential buyers. Recommend to others in the Cardiff area. More...

I nearly got scammed after some stranger replied to an ad on Gumtree offering me a house to rent that was actually a house up for sale on David Ricketts' website. David phoned me back right away and helped me to figure out it was a scam. I am so appreciative of his time and sound advice. Just saved me £350 and an immense amount of drama and stress . More...

After the sale of our house fell through a few weeks ago, David & Andrew dealt with the situation incredibly professionally and have since secured another buyer for us. Contrary to previous comments, we have found David nothing but fair, professional, informative and pro-active! Both him and Andrew are easy to contact and also happy to be contacted ‘out of hours’. They’ve managed all the viewings, with little distribution and given detailed feedback. As sellers, we can’t fault their services or conduct.We are also using David Ricketts to purchase our next home, and their professional and supportive service has been the same on this transaction. They’ve worked hard to secure this purchase, despite the disruption from our sale. Keeping all parties fully informed of the situation.Would highly recommend, from both a buying and selling perspective. More...

I rented from them for 2 and half years in Cathays and can honestly say they have been amazing, service was excellent from start to finish and all members of staff have been really friendly. I would 100% recommend and if I ever move back to Cardiff I will be sure to speak to David. Thank you for your help and service over the last few years More...

We bought our house via David Ricketts a few years back and are currently STC about to move on. As both a buyer and seller we have found David "firm but fair" to all parties involved and very useful for pushing chains on to completion. I dont want my estate agent to be my friend, I want them to get the job done honestly, David and Andrew do this very well. I would use them again. More...

Dave and Andrew gave a 5 star service on the sale of my house in Lisvane. It had been marketed 3 times before by local agents without success. Dave Rickett managed to get the property sold within a couple of weeks and managed to sort out all the problems we had with a chain of 6 with his excellent comunication skills. Well done Dave and Andrew .Highly recommend to use Ricketts. Sorted all the problems out we had with a chain of 6 More...
