Meet David, the driving force behind Votta Sales and Lettings, a visionary entrepreneur with an extensive wealth of knowledge and over a decade of invaluable experience in the property industry. With an unwavering commitment to excellence, David's journey has been marked by remarkable achievements and a passion for shaping a brighter future for landlords and tenants alike.
Having honed his craft at two of the largest lettings businesses in the South East, David's dedication and expertise quickly propelled him to the forefront of the industry. His exceptional skills and exceptional customer service prowess earned him several prestigious awards, ranging from customer service accolades to recognition as a top-performing lettings office. Rapidly becoming the "go-to guy" for all things lettings, David's influence expanded beyond the local community, positioning him as a well-known figure on the national stage.
As the youngest-ever President of ARLA Propertymark in 2021, (the UK's foremost professional body for accredited and regulated agents), David's leadership and contributions have been instrumental in shaping policy and elevating industry standards.

David's passion for property and people is truly infectious, and his dedication to delivering unparalleled customer service shines through every aspect of his work. His hands-on approach spans from property photography to meticulous maintenance, reflecting his deep-rooted love for every facet of the business.
Establishing Votta Sales and Lettings (affectionately known as VSL), David aimed to reinvent the industry's landscape. His visionary approach eradicated inefficiencies present in larger corporations, resulting in a landlord-centric approach that prioritises tenant welfare and ensures seamless tenancies. The outstanding success of this model is evident in the influx of glowing Google reviews, a testament to VSL's unwavering commitment to service excellence.
An unrelenting innovator, David embraces technology to provide a five-star service that remains affordable, an embodiment of his passion for offering value without compromise. His expertise has made him a sought-after voice in the media, with features in outlets like the BBC and trade press, sharing his insights to empower fellow professionals and keep customers informed.
Fuelled by frustration over misconceptions about the industry, David's ultimate goal is to raise the bar and create a level playing field, rooting out rogue agents and landlords to ensure housing standards are upheld. With a resolute focus on professionalisation and regulation, David envisions a future where every interaction is marked by integrity, and where a positive experience is a certainty, not a chance. VSL is an approved organisation to represent landlords in a court of law under possession cases, making his offering as a specialised letting agent even more unique.
David's journey is a testament to his unwavering commitment, unquenchable passion, and boundless drive to transform the property industry for the better.
