Letting with Dawsons

Dawsons are the largest truly Independent Estate Agents in the Swansea area and have a wealth of experience spanning many years. Our expertise and brand within the local area allows us to provide a broad range of management services and impressive range of properties, in the interest of both landlords and contract holders alike.

We value more than property.

Our objective within lettings is to provide an un-rivalled, professional property service based on our many years of experience, invaluable knowledge and of course our integrity and honesty.

We don’t see our job as just letting a house or helping people find a roof over their head. We don’t just value property, we value people. 

And we love what we do.

We’re passionate about property and people. We recognise that the process of moving home is widely considered to be one of the most stressful, and we want to make the whole process not just stress-free, but enjoyable too.

We know Swansea and Llanelli inside and out... like the back of our hand, and we pride ourselves on adding a personal touch, giving you exactly the service that you deserve.

We are Dawsons – all things property. 

Is there anything we haven’t done?

That may sound like a very bold statement, and of course there are things we haven’t done but our level of expertise is widely renowned as being that little bit unique. 

As a LOCAL South Wales agent we assist our clients with private house sales, residential lettings, property management, new home and land sales, property auctions, and commercial retail, office & industrial units ... All Things Property.

Dawsons celebrated 30 years in business in 2021, winning numerous accolades through the decades, 2023 being no exception with all our branches being awarded exceptional rating in both Sales & Lettings in this year's EA Masters (Estate Agents Masters), estate and letting agent of the year at the Property Reporter Awards and more recently achieving community champion of the year alongside Best Regional Agent at the Relocation Agent Network (RAN) Awards in November 2023. Our clients can be reassured our service is of the highest standard and our long-standing commitment to our community is at the heart of Dawsons.

2023 has seen Dawsons achieve DOUBLE GOLD for both Sales and Lettings for the 5^th consecutive year, sealing our service and brand as ‘consistently exceptional’, and awarded the DOUBLE GOLD listing in the 2024 Best Estate Agent Guide (BEAG), along with our training arm (Dawsons Training Wales) winning not only GOLD in the Small Supplier category but the OVERALL Supplier Award also, being recognised amongst 700 other suppliers as the BEST in the country.
