TrustpilotThe Meadows Wymeswold development
I recently visited the Dandara Sales office suite at the Meadows Wymeswold purely by chance after driving past the site. I looked around the show homes and was very impressed with the finish and general quality of the homes on the site. The sales team were particularly good explaining the various features of the individual properties on offer and information about the development. This was my second visit to the site which aloud me to look around other properties on the development whilst being escorted by a member of the Sales team.
Thank you so much for leaving such a great review, the team will be delighted with your comments.

TrustpilotBuying New Home at Reayrt Mie
Currently in the process of buying a Beech 21 house at Reayrt Mie with my partner.. we were really impressed with the standard of their show home and the location of the development so decided to sell our house and make the move. Although daunting, the reservation process was made quick and easy by the sales team and they were able to answer all of our questions. We are very much looking forward to moving into our new home in May this year.
Many congratulations on your new Dandara home, we're sure you'll be very happy there! Thank you so much for leaving such a wonderful review, the team will be delighted with your comments.

TrustpilotAbsolutely fantastic
When decided to move back to Aberdeen we went to see few properties but nothing really was for us. Luckily we met Susan from Grandhome Dandara development.Susan was very helpful, professional with whole process of purchasing property. Just couldn’t be better. Finally we bought our dream home at Grandhome Dandara development, can’t wait to move in. Absolutely fantastic
We're so pleased to hear you've found your dream home, thank you for taking the time to leave a review!

TrustpilotThe dandara team
I bought my flat off plan and I have found the Dandara team fantastic from looking at the plan of the flat to 5 years later in every aspect. The reason I am terminating your service is your service charge is now 11% which I think is excessive and it is collected at the beginning of the rental period for the whole period which I think is terrible and greedy. It is obviously not you workers but the management who specify these conditions. I know 3 other people whole have terminated your services for the same reason
Thank you for taking the time to leave a positive review. We have passed your comments onto the Jersey Lettings team and they will be in touch to discuss the points you've raised.

TrustpilotShawfair development- New Build
We bought a new house within the Shawfair development and Carmela was amazing from start to finish. She was really supportive throughout the process which continued into the after sale of the property. The assistant site manager Andrew and his team have also been really great in rectifying any minor snags quickly and efficiently.
Congratulations on your new Dandara home! Thank you for taking the time to leave a great review. That's great to hear, we're delighted you're so happy with our service and the team.

Everything has been dealt with promptly and followed up to ensure I was satisfied. I would not hesitate to recommend this team.

TrustpilotThe house was lovely and Susan was even lovelier
We arrive at the show house unannounced (and through the wrong door) and Susan could not have been more welcoming. Susan took us around the bottom floor and explained all the various fits and finishes that were available and the discussed what plots were available and when. She also offered to show us some of the smaller properties so we could gauge what would be the the right fit for us. Susan allowed us to view the upstairs and left us alone to look around at our pace. Susan has a very personable persona and was not pushy at all, which is so often the case when viewing houses and can be very off putting. The house itself was really well appointed and the lay out was really nice. It is obvious that so much care and attention has gone into the build quality and thought process when designing rooms which fit for modern living.
What a fantastic review - thank you! Susan will be so pleased with your feedback.

TrustpilotWonderful Dandara Team
Brendan, Terri, Liisa and Clair are incredibly helpful. They made moving to Jersey and off the island super quick and easy. They’re super responsive and always ready to accommodate reasonable requests. If you’re looking for a place to rent in Jersey, I would definitely recommend you reach out to them. Even if what you are looking for isn’t obviously listed on any of the property websites, they’ll make sure you find something that suits your needs.
We're so pleased to hear that. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a fantastic review, the team will be delighted with your comments.

TrustpilotHonest 1 year report on new build home
If you read the 5 star reviews, you will see that a high percentage are discussing the sales process.I have since removed my 5 star sales process review having now lived in my home for a year.Sales ProcessEarly bird reserved: June 21Formally reserved: Jan 22Agreed date of entry: May to July 22Actual entry date: 30th March 23No apology for late delivery has ever been given.Defects found to date in HomeRear garden: topsoil contaminated with shards of glass, large rocks and broken pottery. Time to resolve 6 months, but garden now floods, due to “a lack of worms”.Scratched glass: Dandara to date accepted fault for damaged panes on ground floor, but apparently are not at fault for damaged windows upstairs? time to remediate: 7 months, ongoing issue, I am being quoted reporting statements from literature and policies I was not in receipt of, by the customer care team. Leak 1: shower leaked, time to resolve 2 weeksLeak 2: main bathroom leak, time to resolve 2 weeksLeak 3: toilet waste pipe, 4 weeks and counting.Wrong Solar export MPAN, required to recoup payment for exported solar energy. Wrong meter references provided to the energy network by Dandara, so wrong certification issued etc… resolved by homeowner taking approx 4 months to remediate.Air freely flowed through two external vents to the cooker hood and on into the kitchen, which through winter has never retained heat. Non return valves have now been fitted 9 months after initial report.Kitchen window without seal, not yet repaired.Roof tiles have been failing with shards falling into the front and back gardens.Downpipes illy fitted, and left to freely move causing damage to the render. One downpipe was modified, whilst another was reattached. I’m awaiting the next big gust of wind for it to become detached again.Poor paint finishes to all skirting, frames and internal doors. Painter mobilised 5 months in and made things worse.Snagging report issued with over a hundred issues identified, reported issues include, but are not limited to:Water damaged internal doorsChipped kitchen cabinetScratched utility cabinet doorsLoose electrical socketsGapping on coving at ceiling Entrance door gouged and scratchedSofits damagedFeature boards to front of property markedConcrete sills damagedIts a real shady practise getting people to write trustpilot reviews on the sales process Dandara, your product is not 5 star, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , -Response to your response.Dandara, you think handing over a new home with all these defects is tolerable? Your apology in this medium is not accepted.Additionally, i forgot the mention another recent defect. The construction bung had been left the drains leaving my home, meaning, most hard waste remained in slowly blocking and backing up the drains. Can you imagine?
Thank you for your review. We value all feedback and we are sorry to hear you are not happy with your home. We understand from the team that all of your issues are already being investigated and dealt with and we have operatives booked in to visit your home next week to carry out further internal snagging.

Finding an apartment in Jersey can be challenging as an Expat. But Terri Booth from Dandara made the whole process smooth sailing!Terri helped me to find an apartment that fits my needs but her help didn't stop after I found the perfect place. She has continued to assist with any ongoing administrative matters.Her professionalism, expertise, and friendly personality made the whole process seamless. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a property in Jersey.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a fantastic review.

TrustpilotDo not buy a house from Dandara
Do not buy a house from Dandara. They’ll sell you the dream but follow up with a nightmare. Customer care are absolutely shocking, take 5 days to send you a holding email in response then longer to arrange someone to come out. Their operatives are absolutely useless and leave the house in a worse condition than it started. They are patronising and will do anything to try and get out of fixing things. ***update*** Dandara are not investigating as their response below, they sent someone over who was very patronising and refused to do half the work we’d emailed about and apparently now he’s the only person in the region who can fix our issues so now they have closed off our issues (which the last person who came out caused!!) because I refuse to have a man back who was patronising and spoke to me like I was an idiot. I doubt I would have been spoken to like that if my husband was in the house!!
Thank you for your review. We value all feedback and we are sorry to hear you are not happy with your home. We understand from the team that all of your issues are already being investigated and they’re currently reviewing the list of works and will be in touch directly with an update shortly.

TrustpilotDO NOT BUY HOUSE FROM DANDARA
DO NOT BUY HOME FROM DANDARA. The quality is a joke, the customer service is a joke and the emergency contact they provide is also a joke. It is raining outside and we found that there's a hole in the ceiling near the bay window. Water is coming out like waterfall. We call the emergency contact to seek help. The woman in the emergency contact spent 15 minutes to locate my address and then 7 minutes to jot down my case. And then just tell me according to the rules, this is not an emergency case and ask me to contain the water by myself and contact customer care 2 days later. She even said she has given me the advise what to do already. JOKE!!! nothing more than a JOKE when buying house from DANDARA. If you want to have the same experience, buy DANDARA house is your right choice.

Trustpilot5 Star experience …
We have recently bought a Farringford 3 bedroom house at Fontwell Meadows.Having never bought a new house before we have been blown away by the whole experience.We cannot speak highly enough of the knowledge and professionalism we received from Ash and Tracy from day one to completion. They both went above and beyond what we expected 5 star experience and the same goes for the site team headed up by Henry and Connor.
Thank you so much for your review. Many congratulations on your new home, we're sure you'll be very happy there.

TrustpilotAfter an initial negative experience…
After an initial negative experience around Christmas time visiting the showroom meet by a very disgruntled/rude sale woman I went back a couple months later to be greeted by Alanna Cooper….. My experience this time round was the total opposite, very positive and made to feel very welcome, ran through all the information I was looking for a couple months prior, explained everything that was on offer, what they could do for us and any small details I was looking for. The plot we viewed was lovely, had everything we were looking for as a family, however In the end we didn’t purchase from Dandara, a few small details that we needed to clarify our end to make it work, had I received this information and support the first time around might have been a different story. We opted to buy not far from the site.
We're sorry to hear about your initial experience but so pleased to hear that Alanna provided a great service. Thank you for leaving such a fantastic review, Alanna will be delighted with your comments.
