Pantiles Perfection!

From our first involvement onward, the level of service we received from the Dandarra team has been excellence personified! The initial and subsequent meetings with Tommy were enthusiastic, informative and added to our appreciation of The Potteries as a home. Once we had committed to our purchase, Emma and the the support team kept matters up to speed. A watchful eye on both our buying and selling processes was invaluable and without her polite but persistent efforts with all parties in the transactions, our critical time deadlines would not have been met. Thank you Emma, your efforts went above and beyond and the Dandarra team as a whole produced a Premier Division performance.

Hazelwood & The Grange Sales Team

We spoke with Alanna at the Hazelwood & The Grange Development to get a brochure and an idea of the styles of houses and the various plot layouts within the complex as well as being shown around the showhome. Alanna was very professional and detailed throughout our visit and chat and explained everything and answered our questions. We weee amazed at the quality of the builds and the added touches that make a Dandara home quite exceptional and having got our information pack we are reviewing with a good possibility of purchasing our first Dandara home

From the first moment we spoke with Emma at Dandara we had a good feeling and knew we had come to the right place. Both her and Andrew’s support and knowledge throughout the process has been exceptional. They are personable and genuinely care about the people they deal with, which makes a real difference in what can be a challenging process! Thank you Emma and thank you Andrew!

Great customer service at Hazlewood

Although we didn't end up buying a house with Dandara (simply due to timing of when we needed to move versus the availability of houses), the help, assistance and communication from Andrea at Hazelwood was second to none. She kindly kept us informed of the progress of the houses in the size/style that we were interested in, provided information about timescales/costs and when we needed a little more time to work out our budget etc, she didn't put any pressure on us at all but checked in now and again incase we needed anything. I can't fault the professionalism and kindness!

I recently moved to Jersey with my family and getting an accommodation wasn't that easy as many people have forewarned. During these period I met Brendan (Dandara) on one of my visits in search of a house. He was very helpful and my interaction with him was reassuring. Albeit we did not get the accommodation of our first meeting but I and my family were able to secure the next accommodation through him and at this time our temporary accommodation stay was almost over. This was a huge relief for us. I will always recommend Dandara services to anyone coming to stay in Jersey based on their assistance and services rendered to me and my family. Thank you Brendan of Dandara.

Fantastic service at St Michael's Park

We purchased a house at the St Michael's Park development in Stewkley and have been living here for nearly eight weeks. Our initial enquiry was answered quickly and professionally even though there was nothing really to see at that point, Kelly provided us with lots of information about what was planned. Kelly kept in contact with us from then and when the opportunity to purchase our perfect plot became available we didn't hesitate to make an appointment to view and reserve it. Throughout the whole process, Kelly from the sales office and Alan from the site team have been fantastic, very professional and easy to get on with, the process could not have been made any easier. We have purchased a couple of new builds before but the quality, design and customer service that Dandara have provided is on another level to any of the previous developers we have purchased from. Aftersales service has been excellent and there appears to be a genuine desire to do the best for their customers, the other staff working on site have always been considerate, courteous and friendly. Thanks to everyone involved at Dandara, we are delighted with our new home.

PADDOCK VIEW DEVELOPMENT

From our initial interest in a New Build on the Paddock View development Jo and Dale were extremely helpful and reassuring as we had never purchased a property of plan before. The support from both of them during the process was fantastic and every concern we had was dealt with quickly and professionally. Jo and Dale have continued to support us since we have moved in and help in any way they can if we have any questions. They have both been fantastic and with their happy positive attitude they are easy to approach. We will miss them when they have gone.Since we have moved in we have nothing but praise for the support and help we have received from the Site team lead by Johnny supported by Connor and Kieran. They have gone above and beyond to ensure that we are happy and have no issues with the property.The Sales and Site teams are a credit to Dandara.ThankyouNeil and Karen

Ballasalla, Isle of Man

Sally at Dandara made it smooth and wonderful experience to buy our home, guiding us through the journey. Sally was always contactable and even gave her contact number before going away on holiday, in case I needed any advice. Very professional and polite. I would highly recommend Dandara and Sally in IOM.

Elliott was very helpful and polite. He was able to talk me through my options on the development via the very useful touch screen on the wall. He was also able to show us the show home even though we didn't have much time as needed to get to another appointment.

I found Dandara brilliant

I found Dandara to be so understanding of what I wanted in a house and the sales team knew the quality I wanted. I visited the Permain Place site and Jess was very helpful. So good at making time for me to make my decision and they really have a great product!

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.

I viewed the Holly on Sunday morning with Helen and the experience was great. The property was lovely and Helen was very knowledgeable and more than happy to answer all the questions I had. She explained everything and made the whole experience fabulous.

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.

Emma and Becky from the Sales team are amazing and one of the reasons we went ahead and brought our first home. Thank you both for always being there to answer our questions quickly, efficiently and just being really lovely helpful people. Also George has been really helpful and jumping in to help us with questions or sorting things when either Emma or Becky are not available. The service we have received so far has been 5 star, we cannot wait to see our house and move in. Thank you for everything.

I am new to the Jersey Island and I was very worried getting an apartment to live in. I found this great property in Metropol and learned about Dandara Lettings Company who facilitates the letting arrangement, it was the best experience for me. The arrangements were made so easy! I would like to give special thanks to Brendan McGill and Terri Booth for their efforts and assistance in processing my application up to the date of my move-in. They are very professional, organized and trustworthy people and organization. All the best!
