Good process
Overall, the process was great. Brendan was on time for the viewings, very communicative and answered any questions that we had. Once everything was given through it really was a painless process.Brendan is definitely very professional, and helped us to get access to take measurements etc.

An excellent company Dandara , and in particular one representative was a cut above the rest. His name Chad Goldsmith.
Dandara is a good, honest, reliable and trustworthy company. Nothing is concealed , and if there is room for clarification they will always come forward to assist, with no hidden agendas . On the other hand, customers also need to be seen as genuine and cooperative after all in life it’s a two way traffic, and cooperation on both parties is of the essence.Chad Goldsmith, was particularly helpful to customers, yet remained totally committed to the rules and regulations set down the company. A most pleasant , articulate, committed, trustworthy and reliable member of staff working for Dandara. He is always open to helping those in need, and nothing is too much trouble. Above all , he is extremely patient , an asset in a person, is polite and courteous too.Keith. A. Danvers-Colquhoun.Wednesday 6 April 2022.
Thank you so much for your great review of the company and of Chad in particular, he will be thrilled with your comments.

Top job from lettings staff
Dandara Lettings have looked after my property for around 8 years, and have done it very well. They are always on top of what's happening, keep me in the loop, and action whatever we agree needs to be done quickly and efficiently. Can't ask for more.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We're glad to hear you've had such a positive experience.

The Jersey Team
Just wanted to pass on my thanks to the Jersey team at Spectrum House. Terri, Clair and Brendan do an amazing job and nothing is ever too much trouble. Their knowledge and availability to deal with the simplest to the most difficult of questions is second to none and I thank all three for the continued support. Kind regardsSeb

Long term tenant
I have lived in two flats at Spectrum and one at Fourteen Gloucester and can't praise the helpfulness I received from Brendon McGill. He was always on hand to answer questions and sorted out any issues that arose. I would not hesitate to contact Brendon again in the future.
Thank you for your kind comments about Brendan. We're glad you've had such a positive experience.

Lovely visit!
Lovely visit!I visited St Michaels Park over the weekend and well, it is stunning. What a great sales team you have over there, very informative and welcoming. Me and my partner were first interested in the Upnor house type but have unfortunately missed out as they are all reserved, and I'm not surprised! Lovely layout on a beautiful site, but I was just too late. Wish the team all the best and everyone who purchases on the site as it just looks wonderful. I will definitely keep my eye out for more dandara developments in the area!
Thank you so much! We're delighted to hear how much you enjoyed your visit, we're only sorry we didn't have the right home available for you. Be sure to keep an eye on our website for upcoming developments.

Poor Customer Service
In late 2021 we decided to purchase a house on the St Michaels Park development and made contact with Kelly, the sales rep on site. This should have been an indicator of things to come. Kelly was always impossible to get hold of and never returned our calls.Our original plan was to put our house on the market, but we didn’t want to do it without knowing when the new house would be ready. After a lot of chasing, Kelly finally gave us the completion date in Feb 2022 and suggested we use Assisted Move. Another sign of things to come was Kelly getting the price of the house wrong. Surely an essential part of the job?We were told that we would have four weeks to sell and then there would be a review. The New Homes Group were instructed by Dandara to sell our home and, after they made contact, ensured our credentials and organised valuations our house went onto the market a week later.Three and a half weeks after that, Kelly contacted us to let us know that we had until the following Monday to sell or our reservation would be terminated. Whilst this came as no great surprise, we were disappointed at the lack of a review that we had been told would come first. Kelly explained to us that there was no negotiation to be had around this and that Monday would be our final day of marketing.Later that day, the New Homes Group telephoned us with the news that they were terminating our reservation with immediate effect. This, obviously, came as a great surprise! I telephoned Kelly to ask about this and was told categorically, by her, that the New Homes Group were wrong. Kelly explained that she would call them to sort it out and then call me back. I heard nothing more and received no call back.The following day I received a call from one of the estate agents appointed by the New Homes Group to let us know they had been instructed to remove our house from the market immediately.I telephoned Kelly who expressed great remorse in our situation, but blamed her Head Office for the decision and the actions taken. No apology for (again) not calling me back, no apology for her giving the incorrect date (twice) of the termination of our marketing and no apology for us having to hear the news from an estate agent rather than her.I have had a small email exchange with Kelly since the above, but still no apology or explanation as to why we were only given three and a half weeks of marketing or why she was telling us that we had until the following Monday even after the New Homes Group were telling us differently. I have also emailed her manager, but am yet to receive a reply.Whilst I appreciate that nothing is ever set in stone with house purchases we feel particularly aggrieved that the ‘review’ never materialised and that our marketing was cancelled with no notice despite being told twice by Kelly that it was due to finish five days later. It was also very disappointing that Kelly didn’t have the courage to call us back with the news that she was wrong and left us to find out from one of the estate agents.For a company that supposedly prides itself in customer satisfaction, I strongly feel they have let themselves down on this occasion.
Thank you for taking time to leave a review and we’re sorry to hear that on this occasion you are not happy with the service you received. However, we are confident that we have acted within the terms and conditions of our Assisted Move scheme. We do appreciate your comments and will continue to learn from all the feedback we receive from our customers. We wish you all the best with your home buying journey going forward.

Saxon Park Bedfordshire
From the first correspondence with the sales team they have been extremely helpful and informative. We initially showed some interest in the Saxon park site where we spoke with Rebecca and Jade. They were very informative and happy for us to look around another site they were currently developing. We showed some interest in a few properties and as soon as they were released we were contacted as promised, this allowed us to reserve the plot we really wanted. Once we reserved our property we have received regular communication with updates on the progress of the build. We have been really happy with the service so far and would highly recommend them as a developer.
Thank you so much for your review, we know Rebecca and Jade will be delighted with your feedback. Wishing you all the best with your new home.

The Grove house purchase
We have just completed on the purchase of our property on The Grove Estate. This has been our first experience of buying a new build and I have to say the process has been seem less. I can’t speak highly enough of Janet and her team they have been there on hand for every question and always been swift and helpful in replying. I would definitely rate the experience as a 10/10 if you are thinking of starting your new build purchase.
The Grove is a beautiful development and we're sure you'll be very happy there, congratulations on your new home and thank you so much for the great review.

The Grove Haddenham
I recently visited the site and was very impressed with the service I received. Sadly, they had no properties that suited my time frame but the experience I had dealing with the staff was the best I have had in my search and had my circumstances been different I would certainly have purchased there.
Such a shame you weren't able to buy with us but we're so grateful for your review. Wishing you all the best with your home search.

Saxon Park
I can’t thank Jade and Rebecca enough! They are both amazing. They have given us 5* if not more customer service, they really understood what we wanted and went above and beyond for us. They make you feel like no question is a bother and have made our journey so far the best it can be. I would recommend them to anyone (have already recommended 2 people)! I can’t wait to move into our beautiful house! THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH!
Thank you! That's great to hear, we're delighted you're so happy with your new home and the team.

Outstanding Service- Property Maintenance
My balcony door got damaged by strong winds a few weeks back. I called Dandara and they were very swift in organising repairs through the property management company. I was particularly pleased that they kept me posted on developments until my door was fixed. Special mention to Terri and team for a fantastic job.
Thank you, we're so pleased we were able to get that rectified for you.
